Okay great. I still can’t see any difference between the “yes/no” propertied images, but the page loads now, so that’s a good thing ??

So to customize the border (and make it easier to tell if this is working), I presume I’d go to Appearance–>Edit CSS–>and then insert some code along the lines of:

.bordered
{
border:5px solid red;
}

Does that sound right?

Okay, thanks for that — could you be a little more specific about where exactly to put that code to make the border show up, though?

For example, here is the block of code in the gallery-caption.php file that I presume we’re talking about:

<!-- Thumbnails -->
    <?php $i = 0; ?>
	<?php foreach ( $images as $image ) : ?>
	<div id="ngg-image-<?php echo $image->pid ?>" class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box" <?php echo $image->style ?> >
		<div class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail" >
<a href="<?php echo $image->ngg_custom_fields["URL"]; ?>"
title="<?php echo $image->description ?>"
<?php echo $image->thumbcode ?>  >
<img title="<?php echo $image->ngg_custom_fields["Tagline"]; ?>"
alt="<?php echo $image->alttext ?>" src="<?php echo $image->
thumbnailURL ?>"
<?php echo $image->size ?> /></a>

<a href="<?php echo $image->ngg_custom_fields["URL"]; ?>">
<?php echo $image->alttext ?>
		</div>

I’ve tried inserting your border code into a few different places, and each time, when I reload my gallery page, this error message turns up:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘{‘ in /home4/lindsey/public_html/urbancraftuprising.com/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/ngglegacy/view/gallery-caption.php on line 40

Am I just inserting that code in the wrong place?

Thank you!

That really helped, thank you! Okay, now that I’ve located the correct file (I am using gallery-caption.php), I have successfully gotten my gallery to include links from every photo to the correct URL (https://urbancraftuprising.com/vendors).

What I’m wondering now is, how can I apply formatting that corresponds with a drop-down menu? I have created a custom drop-down menu field called “New Vendor,” with a yes/no option. I would like the images marked as “yes” to display some sort of special border formatting, perhaps colored yellow, or 10px wide, for example. I know enough CSS to play around with the formatting options on my own, but what code would I insert into the gallery-caption.php file to make this field display specific formatting rules?

Thank you!

I’m having the same problem here — I’m trying to muddle through some hacks I’ve found online that will allow me to add URL links to my images.

I’ve found the instructions for this hack in a couple of places:

1) https://jackplug.co.uk/nextgen-gallery-link-to-url/
2) https://www.kimwoodbridge.com/how-to-link-nextgen-gallery-images-to-an-individual-page-or-post-in-wordpress/#comment-29369

However, both of these refer to a gallery.php file that doesn’t seem to exist in my file structure. I had a hunch that these tutorials are based on old versions of NG, and it looks from these posts like I am right about that.

Could someone help me locate the new file I should be altering to allow me to create thumbnails that link to external URLs? I have already created a custom field called “URL” — I just don’t know what to do with it!

Thanks!

Hi, everyone. I was having the same problem and tried the fix outlined here, but I think I really messed something up. I followed the directions exactly, but after uploading the changed fpp_index.php file, I now visit my blog (which is https://customyarn.com/blog) and get nothing but a blank screen and this error message:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘}’ in /home/lindsey/public_html/customyarn.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/facebook-page-publish/fpp_index.php on line 5

I know I must have just messed something up in that file, and stupidly didn’t make a backup of the file before doing this and re-uploading it. I can’t even access my back office to uninstall this plugin and start fresh.

Is there any way to get a “clean” copy of this fpp_index.php file so I can reupload it and get back on track? I’m kind of freaking out here without being able to access my blog at all ??

Thanks!

Bummer. Oh well, thanks for your help!!

Ah, there we go! You’re right, they were actually inactive when I switched back to the default theme, and reactivating them / clearing the cache fixed it.

So, I guess that must mean it’s a problem with the theme I was using then, right? Does that mean that theme just isn’t compatible with those widgets? Or is there a way to get inside the theme and allow it to display them?

Hmm, not sure if I did this right, but when I went to rename the theme (i.e. in my FTP, changed the “scrappy” folder in wp-content/themes to “scrappy.hold” and then visited my site, all I got was a blank page.

Instead, I reverted back to the default theme via my dashboard. Doing this solved some of the problem (now “recent posts” and “categories” widgets appear, but nothing else).

Hmmm, I tried the FTP method you linked to in the documentation, and no change ?? I have re-enabled those two plugins I mentioned above; do you think I should delete them permanently, since disabling them or trying the method above doesn’t seem to do anything? I really need those plugins so I’d like to not do that if I don’t have to…

I actually have seven: Meta, Recent Posts, Text, Categories, Archives, Search, and another Text.
