Hello everyone
New user here and I had a couple of questions.
I’m trying to design a page for photographers. The idea is that each photographer has his own subpage, showing a few portfolios. Each portfolio consists of some photos and a description.I understand that for each photographer I should make a portfolio item for each one of his galleries, assign them to the same category, then create a page to display the portfolios
So I wanted to ask, could I have the preview image (“featured image”) link to a slideshow lightbox instead of linking to a portfolio page with thumbnails? I mean viewing the whole gallery in the lightbox, not just the featured image. The latter already exists as an option.
Secondly, can I direct portfolios to source the images from a nextgen gallery instead of the media outlet provided by wordpress?
Thanks in advance
Hey AlexKK!
1) No, the lightbox on the portfolio page can’t display all portfolio images but just the featured images.
2) You can add a nextgen shortcode to a post, page or portfolio entry to display the nextgen image gallery(ies). You can either create a portfolio page (which just shows the featured images) and then on the single portfolio entry pages show the nextgen galleries or you can use the menu editor (Appearance > Menus) to link to a single portfolio entry or page directly. By going this way you don’t need a portfolio page and you can bypass the limitation of the portfolio page if necessary (see 1)).
Cheers!
Peter
