The problem is that Galleria Galleria uses the output of the default WordPress [gallery] and that doesn’t support the image link URL option. I do have somewhat of a hack you can use to get around this. If you download the latest beta version of the plugin, you can add a hook to modify the galleria settings. With that hook, you can tell galleria to use the image’s caption as the image link instead of the link URL by placing this code in your theme’s functions.php:

function my_galleria_options() {
	return "data_config: function(img) {
		// will extract and return image titles and links from the source:
		return  {
			title: $(img).attr('title'),
			description: '',
			link: $(img).parents('.gallery-item').find('.gallery-caption').text(),
		};
	}";
}
add_filter('galleria_galleria_theme_options', 'my_galleria_options');

You can try your hand at modifying a Galleria theme or look at the themes available for purchase from the developer.

Unfortunately the way that Galleria’s themes work, they don’t really support linking images to the link url. You could try your hand at modifying the default Galleria theme to add this functionality.

Sorry to reply so late, but the galleries should work as you described. Anywhere that the WordPress built-in gallery will display should also work with Galleria Galleria. If you send me the link to your site I might be able to help further.

For the theme to show up, its javascript file must be in a galleria-themes folder directly within your theme folder. If you put the folio folder in your theme folder and change the folder name to gallera-themes it should work.
Hopefully in future versions of the plugin I can make the theme detection a little more flexible.

I just installed the plugin to try it out but I couldn’t get it working and the error was a little off-putting. I’ll try again now!
