QGIS2Web cannot click url as popup disappears

Question

I have successfully created an interactive map using QGIS2Web. I can hover over the polygons and see the url in the popup, but cannot click on it or access the url as the popup disappears when I maneuver off the icon and onto the popup.

I followed the tutorial to do this. There is an example map which you could see has this problem.

If you cannot click on the link but just having the url has no use.

Is there a way to fix this?

Answer 1

If you need to be able to interact with the popups, such as by clicking on links, then uncheck "Show popups on hover" in the qgis2web dialog.

• Shana: I did try but does not fix the problem. This just stop highlighting when hover over the polygons.
• Tom Chadwin: So sorry - I got my options confused. I've corrected my answer.
• Shana: Thanks for updating. Seems like you have to uncheck both "Show popups on hover" and "Highlight on hover"
