# Clickable gallery/URL

 * I was setting up a gallery for a page and after publishing it, I noticed I couldn’t
   click on the ‘gallery image’ to go to the content (a series of pictures) I added.
   So, I thought it had something to do with the URL you need to add (apparently).
   I tried several things (including creating a new page with the same content and
   used that URL) but I can’t figure out how to make the gallery work & get to the
   content when I click on the ‘gallery image’.

 * Hello!
 * Just to clarify, are you hitting this problem in your WordPress dashboard or 
   when viewing your website?
 * If you’re trying to edit your **Gallery Item’s** content, you’ll want to click
   the **Edit content** button at the top-right of your item.

 * No, I’ll try to clarify. I want to be able to click on the ‘gallery image’ so
   that it takes me to the content (more images).
 * So, this is what I want as my content. I want the gallery image to redirect me
   to this content.

 * When I go to my website, this is what happens. I roll over it & I get to see 
   this (see link) & am not able to click on it. What I would like is that the text
   becomes visible after you hover over it, like it does. But then I want to be 
   able to click and have it redirect to another page (not in a new tab) with more
   content; more photos.

 * I get the feeling I have to do something with this URL thing, but I don’t know.

 * I tried something & made a new page with the content and used that link. I was
   able to click on the gallery image but it just gave me a page with an error.

 * Hi again,
 * Thanks for clarifying this.
 * You’re correct; you’ll need add a **Item link URL**. The URL is the address you
   see at the top of your browser. It will looks something like this:
 *     ```
       http://www.yourwebsite.com/page/example
       ```

 * I have the same problem. Created a gallery. When I roll over an image, the link
   text becomes visible and the mouse turns to a pointer, but the link is not clickable.
 * If I right click on the link and select “open in a new tab” it works.
 * Format is: [https://www.linkedin.com/pub/etc](https://www.linkedin.com/pub/etc).

 * Just to clarify, I haven’t used the Link URL under “Configure Items”, as there
   is not an option for the link to open in another tab or windows (the link is 
   external to my site, so I don’t want to lose the traffic).
 * Instead, I have entered the link into the content editor, where the open in another
   tab is available. This is the link that doesn’t work.

 * Hello!
 * I suspect you’ve discovered a bug here with links that are entered into the gallery
   item content field. I’ve opened a ticket for us to investigate this, and we’ll
   let you know when we come up with a solution.
