Related Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if the custom links aren't working in my Elementor photo gallery?

If your custom links aren't functioning, ensure that you've enabled the Box Link toggle and the Force Custom URL toggle in the Extra Options tab. This is crucial because without these settings, the links won't redirect users as intended. Double-check that you've also entered the URLs correctly in the Custom Url field for each repeater item.

What is the best practice for adding custom links to images in my Elementor gallery?

Use the Custom Url field in the repeater settings to add these links. Additionally, turning on the Box Link and Force Custom URL toggles will ensure that users are redirected to the intended link rather than opening the images in a lightbox.
