 * Hello,
 * I’ml new to MLA.
    I managed to create different categories (att. categories),
   for example att categorie named: “wantedimages” I can display the wanted images
   on a page with the shortcode: “[mla_gallery attachment_category=wantedimagessize
   =medium] SO now i see my page with the images i wanted, so far so good. But now
   i want to make the image link to another page with info about the images, each
   image another page. But MLA makes an url of each image, when i click the image,
   there will open a page with the image… i actually want to make a page for it 
   myself.
 * IN MLA, Media, the perma link is correct. But when clicking the image on my page,
   it sends me to the file url /upload/xxx/xxx….jpg
 * How can I do that?
 * Thx for helping me out!

 * Thanks for your question. The default target for the images in an `[mla_gallery]`
   display is the “Media Page” for the item. This is a WordPress convention and 
   the page is generated by your site’s theme; MLA is no longer involved. Your theme
   controls the destination of the link behind the image on your Media Page. You
   could modify the PHP template your theme uses to display the Media Page.
 * You wrote “**_i actually want to make a page for it myself_**“. Instead of linking
   to the theme’s Media Page you can use the `mla_link_href` parameter to link to
   anything you like. Of course, you would have to work out a way for the destination
   page to be specific to each image in the gallery, “**_each image,another page_**“.
   You could pass the item’s ID value in the link and then create a PHP template
   to display the “**_info about the images_**” or you could use another `[mla-gallery]`
   with a custom markup template that displays the information you want.
 * You can find more information about the `mla_link_href` parameter and about custom
   markup templates in the Settings/Media Library Assistant Documentation tab. I
   am traveling until June 20,but I can give you more specific guidance when I return
   home. Thanks for your understanding, your patience and your interest in the plugin.
