 * Hello,
    I just downloaded foo gallery and cannot figure how to link to the gallery
   from a link instead of inserting a shortcode.
 * Basically I want something like this
 * [ This is a link on the page to the gallery](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/foo-gallery-link-form-text-link/link to gallery?output_format=md)
 * Is this possible?
 * Thank You in Advance

 * Below the box that shows the gallery shortcode there’s a button “Create Gallery
   Page”. This creates an actual page for you with a physical URL 🙂
 * Oh btw, I took the liberty to reply to your question although I’m not with the
   FooGallery development team 🙂

 * Thank you Robin for responding! I took your advice and yes it did create a spearate
   page with a separate url but I want the gallery to show up in the foobox lightbox
   on the page with the link.
    Any thoughts on this?

 * You can do that, but it cannot be done with FooGallery. You will have to create
   some custom HTML like below:
 *     ```
       <div class="foobox">
         <a href="image1.jpg">Open gallery</a>
         <div style="display:none">
           <a href="image2.jpg"></a>
           <a href="image3.jpg"></a>
         </div>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * Let me know if that works for you

 * HI Bradvin,
    Thank for the tip. That is exactly what I needed and it works great!
 * Maybe you can help me with a related problem Im having.
 * Im using a plugin called WD Google Maps and am trying to place a link in the 
   description area. It works but if I add the foobox code to the link it strips
   every thing out and presents on front end as a regular link to the media file.
 * Ive been in touch with WD devs but havnt got answer yet and Im anxious to get
   this working.
 * Any thought as to what may be going on?

 * I am not sure how WD Google Maps renders to the front-end. They might strip out
   HTML from the descriptions, as that can sometimes cause problems, but I am only
   guessing as I have never used the plugin before. You might need to inject a link
   using javascript, but that would complicate the FooBox binding
