That is EXACTLY what I want to do!!! Many, many thanks!! I’ll give it a try and hope I don’t screw it up.

I’ve had some time to check out and play with the WP Gallery. Back to my original design question — I am not finding that the captions can be linked. In the “how to” of WP Galleries, they don’t mention this possibility. Am I missing something?

Here’s what I’m wanting to do:
I’m wanting to design a page with a gallery that would look like the following for my insect gallery:
1) A list of Family names
2) A person could click on the Family name and a gallery of genus and species photos would come up
3) A person could click on the Genus species name and further photos could pop up along with detailed info of that insect

I’ve finally found some time to work on this again. It appears WAMP and XAMPP require computer language knowledge, which I don’t have. Am I reading this correctly?

Thanks for the explanation link. I wonder why I couldn’t find that when I searched. MAMP is for Mac only? If not, is it WYSIWYG — I don’t know how to write computer language?

I was trying to do a test in the WP Gallery before I spent time doing the real thing to make sure this worked as I wanted it to and ran into several questions.
1) is there a way to run a test with hyperlinks without publicizing it?
2) is there a “manual” for WP-gallery that would help me with questions such as how to get the photos to show gallery style rather than one for each line?

Photocrati — I would love to provide suggestions but that form is way above my knowledge level. I could offer suggestions from a non-techy user only.

I’ll look at that as well.

I thought this was the NextGen only forum, but it appears to be for all plugins. Is that correct? If so, I’ll have a few more questions. Thanks!

Thanks! I just tried to make some test pages using this method and have more questions. I should probably go to a different forum to ask those. Thanks for your advice.

Don’t know what happened but the custom menus were deleted. I have re-loaded them and I’m cruising now. I never thought to look at that as I had no idea they could get removed. Anyway…tail’s waggin!! Thanks for your time!!

Christine — So sorry — I forgot. https://www.driftlessprairies.org

Tara – last time I went thru them all I ended up with this trouble. ??

Geez — I make this “resolved” way before I should. Deleting those files and restoring via the backup has now made 2 menus and their 100s of pages not show up on the site. Any thoughts?

I’m not sure what fixed it. I struggled with the manual update because uploading a folder (wp-contents) isn’t the same as uploading a file within that so I went to my host and they helped me and all is working fine now. Thanks for your help!!

I haven’t done the manual re-uploading. I forgot about that. I guess I was hoping to NOT have to do that. I have no confidence that I’ll be able to do it correctly. I’ll work on it tomorrow when I’m fresher.

Uh-oh — you are right! I am working in 3.6! So what do I do now to “fix” this issue?

I see it’s been 7 months since this original post and I hope it’s OK for me to pop in as I’m having this same issue with WordPress — the link and unlink functions are grayed out and not working. I’m working on driftlessprairies.org I see the answer of — Go to the TinyMCE Advanced Settings screen. Scroll down to the Advanced Options and select the ‘Advanced link’ option. Then save the change — but have to admit I don’t know how to get to the Advanced Options menu of this plug in. I’m always grateful for the help!!

I checked with my host. It’s not a issue with them. They say there is a bug with WordPress and the fix is installing TinyMC plug in. See this dialogue. https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/tinymce-links-not-working-in-editor-after-35-upgrade?replies=8

This may be the answer, but I don’t know how to access the plug in to do what is instructed. And there’s a 3.5.8 version now. Suggestions?
