Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

I noticed that in your content template for the Archive, you're using the "Fields and Text" blocks to show the custom fields, for example, the "cf-way-search" field.

If you'll switch to the HTML mode in that block's content editor, you'll see the field's shortcode like this:
( screenshot: hidden link )


<p>[types field='cf-way-search'][/types]</p>

You can include the link/anchor tag's HTML code around that field's shortcode like this:


<p><a href="[wpv-post-url]">[types field='cf-way-search'][/types]</a></p>

Please note how I've used the shortcode "wpv-post-url" to get the URL of the current post in the loop.
