[Plugin: Gallery Carousel Without JetPack] Reveal theme: Projects using work from menu, but not from

That is because the Gallery Carousel only attaches itself on single post pages. The easiest way would be to determine the first attachment image ID. Take that ID and add JP Carousel link to the thumbnails on the main page.

So when a user clicks on the thumbnail, it automatically launches the Carousel rather than doing that Ajax thing.

Unfortunately, what you are trying to do is customizing the plugin for your theme and special case scenario. We can’t offer free customization. If you are interested in hiring us to do this, then you are more than welcome to send us an email.

Or maybe getting the thumbnail images representing the project portfolios to open the portfolio pages directly instead of the ajax slider? Where could I change the css or js in the cpanel to do this. I like the ajax slider and Gallery Carousel functionality.

As you said above:

How can I find the ID for the and get it to link directly to the project page. For example: I go choose the Paper project (top right on the desktop) and it goes it to https://margaretsphotoplace.com/#paper (in ajax slider). Instead I would like to redirect it to https://margaretsphotoplace.com/projects/paper/. How can this be done?

You can use get_posts to get the post type attachments and their IDs. This should help you get started. Unfortunately, this is beyond the capabilities of this plugin.

I do not offer customization help due to my schedule.

I will be marking this thread as resolved because I think the question here is answered.

I found another way to resolved this:

Select the option for projects to open on their own page in Appearance → Theme Options.

I’m glad that your theme had that option. Glad you were able to resolve it.
