Thank you for your help, Tim. I was specifically looking for instruction for adding a link to a photo that is already set into a gallery layout which appears to be very different from just adding a link to an individual photo. Will try the videos anyway, hopefully one of them will apply to my specific issue. Thanks again! ??

Hi Joe, thanks for all the information and support!

I decided to go ahead and check out a few of the Portfolio plugins out there – namely, NextGEN, Envira Gallery and Nimble.

Not being a tech savvy person, I am having real trouble trying to get any instructions for them. I have had several blogs for years, and used the WordPress.COM media gallery without any trouble. These gallery/portfolio plugins, however, do not seem to come with much “how to use” information.

For example, it’s easy enough to figure out how to insert a simple gallery into a Page with any of the plugins I have activated. The trouble I am having is in trying to figure out how to create a gallery of, let’s say, 10-15 hats (thumb size) on a particular Page. And then, to have each of those individual hats on that Page become clickable links to a series of different hat views (so that customers can see how the hat looks from different angles). So far, all I can achieve is the 10-15 hats on the Page, and each one clicks open to a larger screen version of itself. I have tried all kinds of links, creating sub-galleries, etc. but nothing so far has worked.

It doesn’t seem like this would be too much for a gallery plugin to be able to do – unless… for even something this simple, I would have to upgrade and pay for something that does more?

Any suggestions anyone might have regarding easy-to-use gallery/portfolio plugins would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
Sally
