Enhanced Links (Image Card)

The Enhanced Link style renders a wide card with a background image, a title overlay, and an optional icon badge in the corner. It gives a link a strong visual presence and works well for featured destinations, product highlights, or anything you want to stand out from the rest of the bio.

Switching a link to Enhanced#

Every link starts as a Button. To switch it to Enhanced:

1. Click the image icon in the link row toolbar (second from the left)
2. The style panel expands below the row
3. Under Display as, select Enhanced Link (photo card)

The panel stays open so you can upload an image immediately.

Fields#

Label — the text shown as a title overlay on top of the image. It appears in the lower portion of the card. Keep it short — one line looks best on wide cards.

URL — the destination when the card is clicked. Required for the card to function as a link.

Image — the background photo for the card. Click Choose Image to open the WordPress media library and select or upload an image. Click Change Image to replace it, or × Remove to clear it.

Wide images in a 16:9 ratio work best. The image is cropped to fill the card, so the subject should be centred. Avoid images with text close to the edges.

Icon — an optional icon shown as a small badge in the top-right corner of the card. Set via the icon picker at the start of the link row, the same as a Button link.

What it looks like#

The card renders as a full-width clickable area. The image fills the background. The label sits in a semi-transparent overlay at the bottom of the card. If an icon is set, it appears as a small circular badge in the corner over the image.

When the Featured toggle is on, the card gets an animated shine effect and a pulsing glow — useful for drawing attention to a main call to action.

Auto-fill from URL#

If the URL is from a supported platform (YouTube, Vimeo, Spotify, SoundCloud, Apple Music, Bandcamp), the auto-fill button appears in the link row. Clicking it populates the label and image fields from the platform’s oEmbed data — useful as a starting point before swapping to your own image.

Toolbar controls#

All standard toolbar controls apply — geo targeting, schedule, featured, sensitive content gate, visible/hidden, and remove. See Button Links for details on each.

Tips#

Use a high-quality image that communicates what the link is before the visitor reads the label. The card image is the first thing the eye goes to.

If you have several Enhanced links in a row, alternate the images for contrast. Identical-looking cards reduce click-through.

For promotional or time-sensitive links, combine the Enhanced style with the Schedule toggle — the card shows only during the active window and hides automatically.
