• Hi, I am wondering if I would be able to achieve a layout like this with Content Views Pro: https://www.bpnews.net/photos/

    The requirement would be to display all images (attachments) from the Media Library with a certain category/tag. I already have installed the Enhanced Media Library plugin to create the category to do that piece.

    The other requirements are:
    1) Display the attachment Caption.
    2) Display a link to the post that the attachment is contained within [“View Story” in the example URL I provided].
    3) Display a link to download the image [“Download” link in the example URL I provided], either linking directly to the image or to the attachment page.
    4) Masonry style grid gallery.

    I’ve been reading the documentation and it seems it may be possible using the “Display Media Files” https://docs.contentviewspro.com/display-media-files/ and custom fields, but I am not sure.

    Ideally, I’d like to set this up to be as automated as possible, so that when new images are uploaded, my client can assign the category by checking a box, and it will be added to the page the gallery is on. Not sure how the 2 links could be automated. Can that be achieved with custom fields? Then perhaps they just copy and paste the attachment URL and associated article URL manually? I am not very clear on how custom fields work, if they’re part of the plugin, or if I need to install a different plugin for that part.

    Thanks for your time and consideration! I am ready to purchase the plugin if I can be sure this will work for my needs ??

    Hi,
    Thank you for your question.
    All your needs can be achieved easily with our Pro plugin.

    For 2, you are right. It can be done by using custom field. Please click here for more detail.

    Custom field is a part of WordPress, so you don’t have to install any plugin for that.

    And things will work automatically. When your client assigns category, or add more images, they will be displayed in created gallery automatically.

    For more questions, please contact us here.

    Thank you,
