[Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Thumbnail link to post

Anyone??

This works for me with effects set to none, https://www.kimwoodbridge.com/how-to-link-nextgen-gallery-images-to-an-individual-page-or-post-in-wordpress/.

Good luck.

This is a work around, but I’ve put html links into the descriptions of individual photos. In my case, each just links back to a gallery page, so that if someone finds a photo by way of tag or randomized pic in the sidebar, they can still get to the description in the gallery page about where the photo came from. You can see it at https://californialichens.org/?page_id=273

This seems perhaps beyond the scope of the plugin intention – to provide a simple image management solution – which it does brilliantly.

Currently, there is no way for NGG to ‘know’ which post an image should correlate to. It would make more sense to me to use the post thumbnail feature of WP for this feature, as these are ‘connected’ to the post. You can then call the posts, by category, but only display the thumbnails rather than the post or excerpt in a template.

I did this here:

https://australianburlesquefest.com/category/the-stars-2011/

This is a category template showing just post thumbnails (and an overlayed title in this instance). When clicked, you get the full post – which seems to be roughly what you are trying to achieve?

You can still manage the images via NGG, and choose which pic from the gallery you want to use as the featured image in each post (in the post edit page itself).

Hope that helps!
