Media gallery

[Madling]

When I insert a media gallery in “add media”-function, Im having some troubles.

I can’t get a link on the text below the images. Is that somehow possible?

Thank you 🙂

Not sure I understand. Did you want to add a caption to each image? If so, you can edit the images and add the caption from the Media Library or even on the page. 

I dont believe that captions link, but you can have the image itself link.

You can actually use HTML for the image caption so that the captions are links.

Edit your image using the media library, and put the html for the link you want in the caption box. something like

<a href=”http:\linkurl“>Your caption text</a>

On all the images? 

If I create a media gallery at a page, only the image(s) have links – not the text below the image. 

But if I create a gallery at a post, both the image and text have link.

I need to create a gallery at a page and have the image and text link. Is that a possibility?

Thank you 🙂

“If I create a media gallery at a page, only the image(s) have links – not the text below the image.

I do not understand. Captions never have links unless you created them with one.

So when you are saying that gallery at a post have captions that are links, you must be confusing what you call a caption.

Please provide a link to a page that shows a gallery in a post where caption would be linked so I can try to understand what you mean

There should be no difference in a gallery displayed on a Page or a Post, so your question is quite confusing.

1. Just to confirm, are you talking about creating a gallery this way: From the Page OR Post editor, you click on the “Add Media” button above the content edit pane.
2. From the popup Insert Media, click “Create Gallery”.
3. Select image to add
4. Click Insert into page

When I do that, I get a standard [gallery ids="1,2,3"] shortcode inserted into the page or post. When I display the page or post, I get a gallery with the selected images displayed. The image will link to what is called the Attachment page, and the caption is displayed under the image. There are no other links on either a page or a post.

The links and content depend on what is defined with each individual image in the Media Library.

So I don’t know what links you are talking about.

Hello scrambler and weaver

Sorry for the confusion. I will see if I can explain it in a better way 🙂 

When I create a post, I have an option called gallery in the right side.
The “headline” is called format (in Danish) and right below you can find sound, chat, video and so on.  

If I choose gallery – Insert Media – choose images. I can manually add links to the text name/image name. 

How can I do the same at a page, so I can create something like this. 

Thank you 🙂

I already told you.

You go in your media library, and add the link HTML in the caption of your images.

Then in any page, you can Add media > Create gallery > Select your images, and they will be displayed in a regular WordPress Gallery and their captions will be the links you placed in the caption field of each image
