<p>Gallery Custom Links allows you to link images from galleries to a specified URL. Tested with WordPress Gallery, Gutenberg, the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/meow-gallery/" rel="ugc">Meow Gallery</a> and others. The official page is here: <a href="https://meowapps.com/gallery-custom-links/" rel="nofollow ugc">Gallery Custom Links</a>.</p>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<p>Two fields are added to your images, in your Media Library: Link URL and Link Target (but also, Link Rel and Arial Label). If, at least, the Link URL is set up, this image will link to that URL every time it is used within a gallery. Lightbox will be automatically disabled for those images.</p>
<p>To do this, the Gallery Custom Links needs to analyze/rewrite your content. Depending on your WordPress, you can pick the most appropriate method (known as engine).</p>
<ul>
<li>HtmlDomParser: Very reliable. It will rewrite your HTML so that the links are hardcoded.</li>
<li>DiDom: Same as HtmlDomParser but faster. However, your HTML needs to be perfectly valid.</li>
<li>Javascript: This is the fastest, but the links won’t be hardcoded. Only the visitor will experience the links.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Compatibility</h3>
<p>It currently works with the native WP Gallery, the Gutenberg Gallery, and the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/meow-gallery/" rel="ugc">Meow Gallery</a>. It should actually work with any gallery plugin using the ‘gallery’ class and Responsive Images (src-set). Let me know if you would like more galleries to be supported, it should be easy.</p>
<h3>Filters</h3>
<p>You can optimize (run the plugin only on the pages where you need it) and support more galleries (through CSS classes) easily by using filters.

<h3>Thanks</h3>
<p>The motivation to build this plugin came from my users who had issues trying to use WP Gallery Custom Links. I realized that this plugin was working extremely well with the standard gallery, but would require too much rewriting for Gutenberg and other galleries, hence the creation of this plugin. I hope it will help.</p>

<p>LJ Custom Menu Links is a plugin that allows you to put extra links in the menus of most WordPress Themes. It is unique in the way that it doesn’t require any code changes to your theme as the extra links are added within WordPress core functionality. This plugin requires no technical knowledge to administer, it is all contained within the WordPress admin pages with a consistent look and feel for ease of use.</p>
<p>Functions:</p>
<ul>
<li>Add Extra Menu links to your theme</li>
<li>Use pages as placeholders for menu links (This allows you full customization as to the location of your links)</li>
<li>Control if menus items are shown based on if a user is logged in</li>
<li>Shows a logout link if a user is logged in</li>
<li>Provides the ability to provide a link back to your admin pages only if a user is logged in</li>
<li>Full menu sorting available</li>
<li>You can now take full control of how you want Custom Menu Links to operate, fully automatic integration or manual integration (modifying your theme for LJ Custom Menu Links).</li>
</ul>
<p>If you are having compatibility issues with LJ Custom Menu Links outputting its links inside other plugins or sidebar widgets then this update is for you. Currently due to core wordpress limitations, if you use LJ Custom Menu Links there may be compatibility issues with other plugins. You now have the option (via the Advanced Options page) to turn off <code>Use wp_list_pages Filter</code> option and insert the required code to make LJ Custom Menu Links work without interruption within your own theme.</p>
<p>To add flexible location links (Dynamic Links) you need to create a new page as a placeholder for that link, under the edit page menu is a box to control what link to show. Please see the screenshots on the next page for a description. Links created in this way don’t have the ability to choose the target window (you may still control the visibility of the link via the private or public based on the page settings, and also the ordering based on page settings).</p>
<p>The admin page now also contains a list of Dynamic Links, which can be deleted or edited from within the LJCustomMenuLinks admin section.</p>
<p>To add LJCustomMenuLinks please use the LJCustomMenuLinks item in the Admin section, these links are added to the end of the standard wordpress menu system but have full customization ability.</p>
<p>The plugin has also had an attribution function added. If you would like to provide attribution for the plugin then add the following code into your wordpress theme. The footer is a good place for it.</p>
<pre><code><?php
  if (function_exists('LJCustomMenuLinksAttribution')) {
    LJCustomMenuLinksAttribution(); 
  }
?>
</code></pre>
