Livemesh Grid image links

  • Love the Grid!

    However, even though I have “Link the image to the post/porfolio” checked, only the title within the image acts as a link. The image does not.

    Also wondering what to do about the category code that appears below the title. It links to what is now a fairly useless blank page. I’ve disabled it via CSS.

    span.lsow-terms {
	display: none!important;
}

    but I was wondering what the original intention for this link was, and how I could better make use of it.

    To make the ‘Link the image to the post/portfolio’ to work, we will have to make some adjustments to the way we display hover content on the image, including possibly getting rid of overlay. We will try to address in future updates.

    Regarding the terms, they are useful when the custom post types have archive pages for the category corresponding to the custom post type. For posts, they will link to either the category pages or the tag pages depending on your choice of taxonomy.

    I am not sure for which custom post type you are capturing via Livemesh Grid. Can you let me know so that I can see why the taxonomy pages are not being linked right? Some custom post types will not generate taxonomy pages within WordPress – then these links are more of a information to categorize the grid elements and linking should be avoided.

    Thanks for your speedy reply.

    What does the “Link the image to the post/portfolio?” option do, then?
    Why is it included if it doesn’t do anything, yet?
    Very misleading. And disappointing. To have this large target for visitors, but to have the active link be so small is a real UI/UX let-down.
    Most of the other portfolio solutions out there do this well, but probably make use of javascript to do so.

    In terms of which custom post type I’m capturing, I’m using categories to define the posts query. The link to the category returns a page that indicates it is an archive of that category, but it displays no content, so I guess “Some custom post types will not generate taxonomy pages within WordPress” is correct.
