Make Click Targets Large in Elementor
- Open your WordPress dashboard, navigate to the page you want to adjust, and click Edit with Elementor.
- Select the first interactive element (Button, Icon, Image Link, Nav Menu item, Form submit button, or custom clickable widget). The Elementor panel will load its settings.
- For Buttons:
- Select the button → open the Advanced tab.
- Increase Padding (top/bottom/left/right) until the button’s clickable area is at least 44px × 44px.
- Return to Style → confirm text size remains readable.
- For Icon Widgets acting as controls (e.g., arrows, close icons, menu triggers):
- Select the icon widget → Style → Icon → increase the icon’s size.
- Open Advanced → add padding around the icon to enlarge the clickable area.
- Ensure the final size meets or exceeds 44px × 44px.
- For Image Links:
- Select the image → Content → confirm a Link is set.
- Resize the image via drag handles or adjust the column width to ensure the click target is comfortably large.
- Add padding in the Advanced tab if the image is small but must be clickable.
- For Nav Menu items:
- Select the Nav Menu widget.
- Open the Style tab → adjust Padding for each link under the Typography or Dropdown sections.
- Increase vertical spacing so each item reaches roughly 44px in height.
- For Form Submit Buttons:
- Select the Form widget → click the submit button field in the left panel.
- Open Advanced → increase padding to meet minimum target size.
- If using Columns or Inner Sections as click targets (via custom code):
- Select the container → Advanced → add padding or adjust min-height.
- Ensure custom links inside code blocks wrap the entire region, not just small text areas.
- Switch to Tablet and then Mobile mode using the responsive icons at the bottom of the Elementor panel.
- Repeat all sizing adjustments for smaller screens:
- Ensure mobile menu items are tall enough,
- Resize icons and add padding to mobile triggers (hamburger menu, close icons),
- Confirm all tap targets meet the 44px guideline.
- Click Update to save your changes.
- Preview the page in a new tab and test with both mouse and keyboard to ensure each interactive element is easy to activate without precision.
