Do you have a link to your gallery I could take a look at? Thanks!

Try using the “preserve_click_events” attribute on your gallery shortcode:

[gallery preserve_click_events="true"]

It should override the setting for each individual image and keep Lightbox effects on each item in the gallery.

I added this as an option in the new version 1.4.0, let me know if you have any questions/problems. Thanks!

This has kind of been in the back of my mind as something to add in the future, I just haven’t had a chance to get to it yet. Glad you figured out a workaround (sort of) in the meantime!

glad you got it working one way or another ??

That’s sort of outside the scope of what the plugin was designed to do, since you’re not actually using the [gallery] shortcode. However, since the plugin saves the custom url as a meta field for the image, and it looks like you’re already getting the ID of the thumbnail, you could try replacing:

$img_url = wp_get_attachment_url( $thumb,'full'); //get img URL

with:

$img_url = get_post_meta( $thumb, '_gallery_link_url', true );

I haven’t tested this code or anything, but hopefully it will at least get you started. Good luck!

glad you got it working ??

I did a test with a gallery in a list of multiple posts across 2 pages, and it seemed to work fine for me. Is this the pagination you were talking about? Also, do you have a link where I can view your gallery?

okay cool, i’ll make that change (oops) and push it. thanks!

Try adding:

https://www.fourlightsweb.com/temp/wp-gallery-custom-links.php.txt
https://www.fourlightsweb.com/temp/wp-gallery-custom-links.js

to the plugin folder and see if that works. I moved the javascript to its own file and enqueued it with jquery as a dependency.

My fear is that if a lightbox script (and there are so many out there I don’t have a reliable way of accounting for all of them) runs after this plugin script, the lightbox click function will replace the plugin click function, and the link will open in a lightbox window. But I guess we’ll see how it goes.

I’ve uploaded a modified version of the plugin with a wp_enqueue_script() for jquery in the plugin init here:

https://www.fourlightsweb.com/temp/wp-gallery-custom-links.php.txt

so please try that version and let me know if that fixes it for you – if so, I’ll release it as a bug fix.

Could you provide a link to your site so I can look at it? Thanks!

good to hear, thanks! ??

I think the problem may be related to some overzealous event unbinding. I’ve uploaded a modified version of the plugin here:

https://www.fourlightsweb.com/temp/wp-gallery-custom-links.php.txt

so please try that version and let me know if that fixes it – it did on my test site, but I’d like to be sure it will work for you before I release it as a bug fix. You’ll need to remove the .txt at the end after replacing the file in the plugin folder.

In the event you still need it, older versions of the plugin can be found under the “Developers” tab:

I’ve added an option to open gallery image links in a new window as of version 1.2.0, so give it a try and let me know how it goes. Thanks!
