Raj KaraHi, I’m using a gallery post on the site and it scrolls through a number of images – I know how to add description copy to the image so it appears at the bottom – BUT, how do I link the images to certain pages?
Naturally, the user will come onto the site, see these images scrolling through and want to click to find out more. I see that each image has an attachment page so I tried that route but still no luck. Please can you help.
Cheers
Kido DHi Raj,
Currently there is no option to link images in gallery post to a page, but you can link it to the gallery post itself. To do that, you can open up the content-gallery.php file in themes/dw-fixel folder, find the code below (around line 13):
<div class="carousel-inner">
...
</div>
and change it into this:
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" data-toggle="modal" data-post-id="<?php the_ID(); ?>" class="info">
<div class="carousel-inner">
...
</div>
</a>
Hope this helps!

what I found helpful was this code. I created I text with this code and when I click on the image (like an advertisement) it open the relevant page. I think that it will work also using the view attachment page button in the media library menu. Let me know if it works.

Hi – thanks for your reply! I’m not that clued up with code – where do I put this and where do I input the page url I want to link the image to?
Sorry and thanks

upload an image, save its url (it appears in the same window), create a new page, you’ll see the url of the page in this window (dashboard – pages ), then create a text widget (you find it in the widget), change the url of the image and the page with the ones you found before.

hi aitolnews – I’m not following, when creating a text widget you can choose single sidebar and topbar – I’m not sure what you mean about changing the url of the image and page with the ones found before. Please help!
