Inserting Links (Bricks Builder)

Bricks Builder supports Dynamic Data: a way to dynamically pull values from your WordPress site into element fields on every page load. LinkCentral includes a built-in Bricks integration, so you can add short links to buttons, images, text, and headings without copying URLs by hand. When you update a link in LinkCentral, integrated links on your Bricks pages stay in sync automatically.

How it works

LinkCentral registers each of your published links as a dynamic data tag in the Bricks picker, grouped under LinkCentral. Each tag is tied to a specific link by ID (for example {linkcentral_link_123}), so the reference stays stable even if you change the link title, slug or attributes later.

Adding a link to a URL field

Use this for buttons, images, icon lists, or any element with a Link or URL control.

  1. Edit your Bricks page or template.
  2. Select an element that supports links (e.g. a Button).
  3. Open the Link settings.
  4. Set Link type to Dynamic data.
  5. Click the dynamic data icon and open the LinkCentral group.
  6. Choose the link you want. Each entry shows the link title and path (e.g. Product Launch (/go/product-launch)).

The link will use your LinkCentral short URL on the frontend and inherit the link’s configured attributes.

Using links in text fields

You can also use LinkCentral tags in text elements such as headings or basic text.

TagResult
{linkcentral_link_123}The full short URL as plain text
{linkcentral_link_123:link}The link title as a clickable link
{linkcentral_link_123:link:newTab}Same, opened in a new tab

Replace 123 with your link’s ID.

On LinkCentral Premium, you can append query parameters to a tag. Parameters are forwarded according to LinkCentral’s parameter-forwarding settings, so make sure the global Parameter Forwarding setting is enabled.
