    Hey,

    So I am new to SEO/Webdev and have a question.

    If I used the HTML widget on Elementor Pro on my website, and used some HTML code where it makes my Elementor Pro Gallery link to a different page of mine but that is the only way to find it by clicking that image (due to me adding it via HTML as no option for widget input.), would that still be crawled/indexed – and would it be classed as orphaned or not?

    Hey, if your gallery image links to another page via HTML inside Elementor’s HTML widget, Google can still crawl and index that link as long as it’s on a visible part of the page. It won’t be orphaned since there’s a link pointing to it, even if added via custom HTML. Just make sure the link isn’t hidden or blocked by robots.txt.
