Hi there, I would like to have a product image on display, but when you hover over it with the mouse it shows the brand logo (and then click on it to go to another page). Is there a widget that will allow me to do this? Happy to buy the premium package but couldn’t see anything in it that looked like it would do it… Thank you.

    Hi Charmed,

    Unfortunately, I can’t seem to find a reliable plugin that will allow for this sort of thing. With that said, you can, however, create something like this with HTML and CSS.

    Please add the following HTML to a text widget:

    <a href="http://link.to/page/here/" class="image_hover"></a>

    Please navigate to AppearanceCustom CSS, you’ll get our custom CSS editor. Add the following CSS:

    .image_hover {
  background: url('http://url.to/normal.image') no-repeat;
	background-size: cover;
  display: block;
  width: 250px;
  height: 200px;
}

.image_hover:hover {
  background-image: url('http://url.to/hover.image');
}

    Adjust the dimensions and images to your desired images and sizing.

    You might also need to install the SiteOrigin CSS Editor.
