<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. To know more about this, visit the official page, here: <a href="https://meowapps.com/gallery-custom-links/" rel="nofollow ugc">Gallery Custom Links</a>.</p>
<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>

<h4>Example</h4>
<p>The following example is using Twitter Bootstrap framework to layout. You can use any framework of your choice.</p>
<pre><code><?php
    //Get the images ids from the post_metadata
    $images = acf_photo_gallery('vacation_photos', $post->ID);
    //Check if return array has anything in it
    if( count($images) ):
        //Cool, we got some data so now let's loop over it
        foreach($images as $image):
            $id = $image['id']; // The attachment id of the media
            $title = $image['title']; //The title
            $caption= $image['caption']; //The caption
            $full_image_url= $image['full_image_url']; //Full size image url
            $full_image_url = acf_photo_gallery_resize_image($full_image_url, 262, 160); //Resized size to 262px width by 160px height image url
            $thumbnail_image_url= $image['thumbnail_image_url']; //Get the thumbnail size image url 150px by 150px
            $url= $image['url']; //Goto any link when clicked
            $target= $image['target']; //Open normal or new tab
            $alt = get_field('photo_gallery_alt', $id); //Get the alt which is a extra field (See below how to add extra fields)
            $class = get_field('photo_gallery_class', $id); //Get the class which is a extra field (See below how to add extra fields)
?>
<div class="col-xs-6 col-md-3">
    <div class="thumbnail">
        <?php if( !empty($url) ){ ?><a href="<?php echo $url; ?>" <?php echo ($target == 'true' )? 'target="_blank"': ''; ?>><?php } ?>
            <img src="<?php echo $full_image_url; ?>" alt="<?php echo $title; ?>" title="<?php echo $title; ?>">
        <?php if( !empty($url) ){ ?></a><?php } ?>
    </div>
</div>
<?php endforeach; endif; ?>
</code></pre>

    $args['alt'] = array(
        'type' => 'text',

        'name' => 'alt', 
        'value' => get_field($field . '_alt', $attachment_id)

        'name' => 'status', 
        'value' => array(
