4WP Smart Link

4WP Smart Link adds inspector controls and toolbar shortcuts so editors can:

• Attach a custom URL to a Cover block output.
• Use a dynamic “current post” permalink inside Query Loop contexts.

Frontend markup wraps the rendered Cover block in a standards-compliant anchor when a URL resolves.

Frontend markup

When a link is output, the plugin wraps the Cover block with an <a> element:

• Base class: forwp-smart-link-wrapper
• Block modifier (Cover): forwp-smart-link-wrapper--cover
• Machine-readable hint: data-forwp-smart-link="cover"

Themes may style .forwp-smart-link-wrapper globally or scope overrides per modifier.

Developer / pre-release checklist

Before uploading banners or screenshots:

• Manual QA in the block editor: custom URL, reset, dynamic “Post Link” inside a Query Loop, open-in-new-tab, nofollow / relation field, accessibility label.
• Frontend: confirm <a> href, rel when target is _blank, and no empty wrapper when URL resolves empty.
