Hi Ernest – thank you – and I understand completely. Is this then something that could be undertaken by an external WP developer – i.e WP-Kraken or others? Or would the cost of having this customised further likely to prove prohibitively expensive initially, at least until we have the budget for this kind of undertaking? Thanks for all your input.
Kind regards,
Sally

Hi Ernest, thank you so much. I am thrilled to bits to see it all working as I want it to. At first it didn’t, as I was clicking on any image return, but quickly figured out I only have 10 test images with captions and descriptions, so this is really amazing! Thank you for your efforts in helping me resolve this issue.

But, I do have one more pressing issue I have noticed while testing search options and capabilities…
https://prnt.sc/1vav9he
Using the Autocomplete will directly trigger to search results (I have removed the Magnifier on search box – as search images are automatically displayed on typing…),

Is there ANY WAY perhaps (and this is absolutely essential for finding relevant images) – that you could take a look at screenshot supplied – to see if you could include IMAGE CAPTIONS AND DESCRIPTIONS as SOURCES?
The reason I ask is because Google keywords is used as default – because I don’t think captions and descriptions are included in autocomplete…
This would really make the site super-powerful in terms of what we want to achieve, so any assistance with this would be much appreciated.

Thanks once again Ernest. I am loving your product more and more as I get more familiar with it!
Kind regards,
Sally

Hi,
I have had some comeback from the developer, who has kindly provided me with the following:

“A way to access the link URL you can use this PHP function : get_post_meta( $attachment_id, ‘_gallery_link_url’, true );

So integrating that with your search results will require custom code from them but as far as access that link the above code would do it.”

I have taken a screenshot of the theme Gallery Link Settings: https://prnt.sc/1v7vtaj
Link to:
Attachment
Media File
Custom – which I have selected for external links
None

I hope this helps!
Thanks,
Sally

Hi Ernest,
Thanks for getting back to me and for your willingness to help me with this. I have just emailed Chris from Kadence, who initially recommended your search plugin – and hope to hear back from him soon. I will get back to you as soon as possible…

Hi again,

Thank you for your response to my queries and for your help. Much appreciated!

Regarding the first issue, I thought it best to illustrate with some images to explain my problem.
https://prnt.sc/1uy4cbf
https://prnt.sc/1uy4swn
I can either link the image results to – attachment page, or attachment file directly, or attachment parent post from your “Link the results to: options”…

What I want to do is direct each search result to an external URL – as I have set it up in the Kadence Theme:
https://prnt.sc/1uy5w72
i.e. Gallery Link URL: anywebsite.com i.e. each image to a different website ?
Gallery Link Target: new window

Is there a way to set this up, so the resulting images, when clicked on – go directly to the Gallery Link URL – instead of the three options you provide?

I hope this helps to make it clearer as to what i want to accomplish – and hope you can help in some way?

Thanks,
Kind regards,
Sally
