Hello,

I searched and found the thread above. It’s from 2008, though… If things are still the same, then I cannot link individual photos in a gallery to another URL. Assuming that is correct, I followed the instructions in the thread above and I ended up with the thumbnail images all smushed together. So I followed JustJennifer’s instructions to add a space between each photo. Instead of a space (as you can see on my blog), it added a line between each photo, so they are stacked vertically, rather than spread horizontally across the page.

Can anyone help? Either with making a gallery clickable to another URL or else with help in adding the thumbnail images and getting them to display properly. Thank you!

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I think you should remove those <p> ,,, </p> tags around the img and a tags.
Or another thing you could do is make a table with m rows and x n columns, and within each cell enter one linked image, thus the pictures will display properly.

Delete the whole thing and reinsert the three images one by one, without adding spaces or anything; just select Alignment:Left before inserting them.

@phoxis: p tags don’t display in the html editor unless they include attributes; and the image codes lack alignment, so removing the p tags wouldn’t be enough.

@panaghiotisadam : hmm, correct point, plain p tags are stripped. Actually it was present in @testingocean ‘s blog page. Does entering a new line in the html editor adds a p tag around that line ?

thank you…that worked :)

Related question (can I ask that here?): Is it possible for me to change the font on the photo caption?

@testingocean: You’re welcome. No, you can’t change the caption font (except if you buy the CSS upgrade).

@phoxis: Pressing enter once in the html editor creates a br tag; pressing enter twice in the html editor or once in the visual creates a p tag. Both visible in the source code but invisible in the html editor.

Try editing the “p.wp-caption-text” class and add font-family property
