Captions with links below the images?

    committee wants to duplicate the page below in WordPress here: https://arton12.petersonsales.net/sample-page/

    I can set the captions to always be visible but there is a conflict between linking the image to the lightbox vs the custom url or a link in a caption. They want a link to the artists website, but also would like to enlarge the current images in a lightbox.

    Any solutions?

    BUMP?
    Maybe I didn’t make myself clear. A nice option would be to put artists name and website below the images. I don’t see that as an option in Foo. However, we need to have both the Lightbox to enlarge the images and be able to link the images to their websites. Is there a way to do this?

    hi Jeff,
    You have a few options:

    You can use the Simple Portfolio gallery template. Demo : https://foo.gallery/demos/simple-portfolio-demo/

    Or the Masonry template. Demo : https://foo.gallery/demos/masonry-image-gallery/

    The caption descriptions can contain HTML where you can include anchor tags which can link to your artists website. Then you can leave the image to open in the lightbox

    I think this demo is what you are after : https://foo.gallery/demos/html-captions-demo/

    Thanks, I got the links to work but even when I set the simple portfolio to 150x 175, the images do not crop to 175 in height, and so I assume it is the bounding box that is 175. The problem is that the caption text gets cut off or gets lost altogether on the portrait style images. Landscape images scale nicely.

    Now to get the links to work properly I have to add target=blank to the href or else it completely leaves the website. Clicking on the images opens the lightbox correctly.

    And the html captions demo is nice. just an fyi, the link itself is black and invisible unless you scroll over it. All you see is the pixbay part.
