I would like to add an html link in the title section of each image so that I can send a person to another website to purchase that image. Is this possible? I'd like to figure this out before purchasing.

Thank you!

Hi,

Yes, you can place any html, including links, in the captions. (We call them captions, not titles.)

Please check out the "Captions" section of the Instructions.

Thank you so much for your prompt reply. I read the caption section and got it to work. Thank you.

I now have another problem. While the floatbox pops up just fine and it has the caption and link, I now cannot get the next and prev buttons to appear. They just are not there. Below is the code I am using. Could you please take a look at it and tell me what I am doing wrong? I would appreciate it so much!!!

For reasons that I've never quite figured out, some people take offence when it is suggested that they read the Instructions. I hope you don't feel this way, because I am again going to refer you to the instructions. You could save yourself a lot of time (and some of my time too ;)) if you look for answers and information there.

The short answer is that the previous and next buttons show up when you create a gallery set of two or more items, and you create a gallery set by assigning a common group option string to multiple items. This is described in the "Images: galleries and slideshow" section of the Instructions and is detailed, as are all options, in the Options Reference.

I will read the instructions again and again until I get it. I'm sorry to have wasted your time.

Hmmm...
It seems you did take offence from my referring you to the instructions. Please don't. It's just the best place to get how-to information. You didn't waste my time. I'm here to help.

Well, I'm old, in ill health, and just trying to set up a gallery. I didn't go to school for this, as you probably did. I'm not taking offense, was just hoping for some help, as I did read the instructions over and over and over. Not to worry, though, I do think I have it figured out now. Thank you for your time.

Don't overlook the information given that the previous and next buttons show up when a gallery set is defined, and a gallery set is defined by assigning a common group option to each image. That's the helpful information you need to get to where you want to go.
