I used the early mornings this weekend to try and get my head around picture galleries and how to set them up to work for my websites.
I looked at Envira and NextGEN expecting them to be more sophisticated that the Gallery feature built into Wordpress and watched the videos and read the "How to" posts and could not find what I was looking for, which was the ability to hyperlink from an image.
NextGEN could hyperlink from a Gallery but that was not what I wanted so I ended up back on wpbeginner looking for suggestions and followed a lead to the Gallery Custom Links plugin. After a bit of playing around I found that I could achieve exactly what I wanted to do plus a bit of added functionality which I will now roll out across my websites.
The moral of the story is that sometimes more sophisticated is not the right answer, check the simple solutions first !
Learning is always useful, now I know when Envira and NextGEN would be appropriate.
Enjoy your bank holiday and stay safe.
