So if I’m understanding correctly, it sounds like turning the virtue gallery on or off is what affects the captions, not WP Gallery Custom Links, as the custom links sound like they are correctly swapped in regardless of the virtue gallery being on or off. I’m not sure I can help you with virtue gallery, but WP Gallery Custom Links disables lightbox effects on gallery images by default, so maybe if you try adding ‘preserve_click_events=”true”‘ to your gallery shortcode (see https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-gallery-custom-links/), you could have virtue gallery on and still keep the lightbox effects.

I guess I should ask – what is your goal for how this page will work? It sounds like you do want to have the images open in a lightbox? If so, where are you expecting the custom links to appear?

Assuming you’re referring to the images at the top (and not the nggallery shortcode at the bottom, which this plugin doesn’t support), looking at the source it either looks like the [gallery] shortcode isn’t being used, or if it is it’s not generating links with urls in the href (they’re all set to “#”). This plugin looks for file or attachment urls in the href property and replaces those values with the custom links, so if it’s not setting those hrefs to a url, there would be no way for this plugin to swap in the custom link, unfortunately. Maybe your theme has a way to disable that popup functionality that’s setting them to “#”?

Do you have a link to the gallery page? Also, if by “next image” you mean in a lightbox of some kind, please note that this plugin doesn’t affect any lightbox code, just the html for the gallery generated by WordPress.

That’s actually a core WordPress setting – you should see a dropdown on the gallery edit popup that allows you to link to “attachment” “file” or “none.” Alternately, you can add link=”attachment” directly in the gallery shortcode if you edit the content text. If you change to attachment, you might not even need this plugin to remove the lightbox.

Glad to hear you got it working!

I think that would require the support of your theme/WooCommerce. If it was using a [gallery] with the post_gallery hook in place, it should work automatically. Otherwise, some custom programming on their part would likely be required (see FAQ #4: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-gallery-custom-links/faq/ ).
