Hi there,
Your snippet is exactly what I need (if I understand correctly) – but unfortunately it doesn’t seem to work for me. I have a single product page that needs to link to an external page as the shop is external. I’ve disabled the light-box etc but when I do that the link on the Woo Image doesn’t work. If I don’t disable the zoom and light-box the link works, but I really can’t cope with the zooming on my page.
Hi, I’m wondering is there an option to disable the little magnifying glass icon (maybe just hide it) and instead make it possible to just click anywhere on the image to zoom it to a full screen in lightbox?
Snippet works great. But I would like to ask, is there a snippet that would allow the same external click functionality after clicking on a product image on the product listing page? I mean categories, brandpages or tag pages.
In addition, I would also need the link to open in a new window tab.
Could you give me an advice please?
Thank you very much.
Hi Tomas, thanks so much for your comment! Yes, this is definitely possible, but I’m afraid it’s custom work. If you’d like to get a quote, feel free to contact me here. Thanks a lot for your understanding!
Hello Max, thanks for your comment! I just tested this again with Storefront theme and it works perfectly. Maybe your theme (or another plugin) is messing/conflicting with my snippet.
To troubleshoot, disable all plugins but WooCommerce and also switch temporarily to “Twentytwenty” theme (load the snippet there in functions.php) as explained here: https://www.businessbloomer.com/lesson/trwm4l01/
Once you do that, does it work? If yes, you have a problem with your current theme or one of the plugins.

I’m using the Divi theme if that helps?
Hi Elsa! What about disabling Zoom but not Lightbox?

It doesn’t work for me.
I use Code Snippet plugin to insert any PHP or CSS

Hi,
Thanks for this snippet.
Is there a way to open the link in new window?
Thanks
