Hi,

Can I make the pictures in the gallery(square style) link to some specific pages on my blog instead of attachment page or media?

Thanks,
Lin

The blog I need help with is: dirkrieberdelectable.wordpress.com

I am having trouble with my pictures attaching them to my post. Eample I just posted a blog and had a picture downloaded with the post, when I went to save and preview the picture was gone, however it is still in my gallery. Shelley

@dirkrieberdelectable At the moment that is not possible. The images in a Gallery will only open in the Photo Carousel, the image Attachment page or the Media file. See here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/images/gallery/

I’ve posted 2 workarounds on my Gallery demo site, but that is just what they are, workarounds. You can find them here:
Using Gallery image captions: http://agallerydemo.wordpress.com/2012/07/28/gallery-as-an-index-page/
Using a table instead of a Gallery:
http://agallerydemo.wordpress.com/parent-page/child-page-1/grandchild-page/

One other thing you might consider doing is changing themes. There are a number of them that use a grid layout on the front/home page of the site which will, of course, lead your visitors to the relevant post. No need for a Gallery at all.

Hope you don’t mind, I’ve added your post to my forum thread that tt linked to just above.
