This solution leaves me with no title tag attribute. Unfortunately. BTW, I thought of another way to handle this, should anyone find this thread and need an option. You could create a separate gallery and add a class to that gallery, THEN style all the titles of that gallery. So you’d have one gallery with italic titles, then a separate gallery with roman titles. Just a thought. Hope that helps someone.

Hi Victoria,
I would very much like to see there be a way to add a class to any image…that was a legacy feature in WordPress I believe…whereby you could choose advanced options and add a class, but perhaps that was not carried through to the latest version (not sure why). However, I do have a work around for now which is to use a pseudo class to write the content I want wherever there is an empty field and then style that.

h3.someclass:empty:before {
content: "something";
font-style: normal;
}

Not ideal, but it does the job, for now.

Good morning Rikard,
The image isn’t placed in its own element. I want to add a class to multiple images that are in a masonry gallery. The issue I’m facing is that the images are of paintings, which have titles that need to be italic…that part is easy, its the ones that do not have official titles. The title field for those images contains <span class=”roman”>Not titled</span>, but of course that shows up in the title tag (yuck!). So the way one might normally do this is to edit the advanced options and put the class “roman” there. I think this would make the most sense if it were done from within the media library. I don’t think I have another way to do this with on multiple images placed in a gallery…thus the question about accessing Advanced Options. Those fields still exist in the db, right? Let me know what you think.

Hi Nikko,
Thank you for your assistance. I’m aware of how to add a custom link to the image such that the gallery thumbnail will link to the attachment page. Rather, I was trying to link the lightbox image to the attachment page. In other words, you click the thumbnail, the lightbox pops up, but intead of the click behavior (on the image) being an advance to the next image…it would go to the attachment page.

The next issue is that the attachment page in the Enfold theme does not display the image. Shouldn’t it? I’m sure there must be an obvious reason for this, but I’m not able to determine why no image is show on the attachment page.

I have a child theme set up, so I could dupe a page template and alter it…though, I’m not extremely familiar with PHP, so I’d need a little help. I think a solution of this nature might be really useful for a bunch of Enfold users. So if you could provide a little guidance here, we can document the process for others.
Best, KC

Hi Nikko, sorry it has taken me awhile to follow up on your suggestion. I now realize that a shortcode solution isn’t very user friendly for someone (the end client) who doesn’t understand how they work…it isn’t intuitive (enough). The gallery block works best because one can drag and drop the images, it’s visual. So, I’m wondering how I can set the lightbox images to link to an attachment page. I thought perhaps I could use the image’s permalink…but no image is displayed on that page, likely because index.php doesn’t call the image? Is there another template that I can specify? I’ve been trying to find a solution to what I thought was a pretty basic thing…gallery image links to a page where more detail about the image can be viewed. Any guidance would be very helpful.

Hi Ismael,
I’ll tinker around with this and see if I can get it to work. Thanks for your helpful suggestion.

Basilis,
I wasn’t implying that the work to custom code this functionality would be covered by support, as you implied. But if there was a setting I could change to show the caption, then knowing that would be helpful. I suspect a number of users would find it helpful to know how to do this so that photos used in slideshows could, in fact, display a photographer’s credit. Seems pretty useful, I think. Also, to be clear, I want to make sure you understand that I’m referring to “caption”, the longstanding nomenclature of “caption” used to refer to the content associated with each media item, versus what the full width slider refers to as “caption” (the text animated over a slide). Best to eliminate the confusion. If anyone else sees this and has anything to add, feel free. If the current CSS is making that caption invisible, clue me into where that is done? If the media caption isn’t called at all, when a full width slider is used…would a layered slider allow me to display it? More helpful feedback is greatly appreciated. :)

I’m not so sure that is a viable workaround. That means the text element has to follow the catalog element around and requires twice the editing should the contents of the catalog change. It would be much more efficient and user friendly if you had a way to simply add a slug or descriptor to the catalog element. Would it be possible to submit this as a feature request?

Hi Victoria,
That is helpful, thank you. I know how to find the ID, but those editing the content will see this:

https://ibb.co/C5Nk31K

And clearly it shows what content is there (“Brunch”). I think what my original post may have implied is that the Page Content element box should show more detailed content (as a clue to the person making edits)…that isn’t what I meant. I now see why Basilis responded accordingly.

Upon further thought, I think I’m looking for a way for the user to be able to click “Brunch (page, 409 )” which would be linked back to that page (in editing mode, not view). That way if a user climbs into the “Menu” page which is a stack of Page Content elements, he/she would be able to quickly get back to the page that needs the edits…rather than having to click back out to Pages, and find the page.

I hope that makes sense. Again, it sounds like this is falls into the “feature request” category (the form for which may still be “frozen”?). But at least this topic is here for other users and I hope this is a worthwhile idea for a worthwhile and helpful page element.

I should have made that more clear. I apologize for the confusion.
