Make Captions Linkable

Hi 2,

I have the same question about linkable caption. Picture area above caption may be small even with a downsized text.
Guess it’s a pure matter of code, but could you help us in this issue ?

Meta Slider works fine with WP.3.9.1 and twenty fourteen.
By the way, french translation is quite clear.

Thanks a lot !

Hi All,

The caption isn’t linked because the caption itself can contain HTML (including links), and putting a link within a link will generate invalid HTML.

The easy solution is to include the link in your caption, e.g.

<a href='https://www.theUrl.com'>Your caption</a>

Regards,
Tom.

I found a way to add a link. This is not ideal since you’re changing core files that would be overwritten with an update, but:

If you search for “caption-wrap” in ml-slider/inc/slide/ metaslide.image.class.php

(I think it’s line 288 & 349)

You can add:
<a href="' . $slide['url'] .'"> before <div class="caption-wrap">
and after </div> on that same line.

Thanks,
Jenny

it works ??

Thanks Jenny
