Image widget – image text overlay

Firstly, love the plugin because it’s so flexible!

I am using the Image widget to create a grid of portfolio images. I was able to make the Title text appear above the image as an overlay but it seems to have taken away the link to the Destination URL I specified (or it’s sitting behind the overlay). I would like to be able to link each image to the URL I select in the widget, as it normally would.

Here is my CSS:

#pl-471 .panel-grid-cell .so-panel:last-child {
    position: relative;
}

#pg-471-1 h2, #pg-471-2 h2 {
    position: absolute;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    z-index: 2;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    padding-top: 50%;
    margin-top: 0px;
    margin-bottom: 0px;
    background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.97);
    opacity: 0;
    text-align: center;
    -webkit-transition: 0.4s;
    -o-transition: 0.4s;
    transition: 0.4s;
    -webkit-transition: all 0.4s ease-in-out;
    -moz-transition: all 0.4s ease-in-out;
    -o-transition: all 0.4s ease-in-out;
    -ms-transition: all 0.4s ease-in-out;
    transition: all 0.4s ease-in-out;
    font-family: Raleway;
    line-height: 18px;
    font-weight: 800;
    font-style: normal;
    font-size: 18px;
    color: #777777;
    letter-spacing: 1.2px;
    text-transform: uppercase;
}

#pg-471-1 h2:hover,  #pg-471-2 h2:hover {
    opacity: 1;
    visibility: visible;
}

.panel-grid-cell .widget-title {
    display: none;
}
