Image plugin

  • Hi,

    I am trying to create a gallery on my page where when you click on the image you are taken to another page that has a description and more info. Kind of like a calendar plugin meets gallery plugin. I also don’t need the dates for this. Just a few fields for Name, Title, Description, Photo, and custom fields. Anything out there I can use for this job?

    Thanks!

    Have you considered using the default gallery block for this? Be sure the images link to an attachment page, not an image file.

    By default you only have title, caption, and description fields to work with, but the description field accepts most HTML, so you can include and format all manner of data as you wish via custom HTML. How these fields appear on your site is theme dependent, based upon one of its templates. These could be overridden with an alternative if the default is not suitable.

    If the default gallery is not suitable, there are a number of gallery plugins you could try. There ought to be a few that support additional fields, but I’m unsure of which ones do.

    Another approach would be to use one of the custom fields plugins in conjunction with the default gallery. This approach will require overriding the default attachment template.

    Thank you for this! I am looking fo have each photo open up into another page (kind of like an event calendar) but with the default gallery it only opens in a lightbox,

    Lightbox in the default gallery in the block editor (Gutenberg)? There’s no lightbox effect that I know of. If your site uses lightbox instead of going to a new page or media file, it’s an effect added by your theme or a plugin. Try switching to Twenty Twenty-one theme. There should not be a lightbox effect anymore. If it’s still there, it’s due to a plugin. Isolate the responsible plugin by deactivating plugins until the effect goes away.

    Once the responsible module is determined, try asking in its dedicated support forum how to disable the lightbox script. It’s likely a matter of dequeuing a script of a particular name. The specifics depend upon how the script was added in the first place.
