 * Hi don’t worry about this question by me anymore.
 * Used this slideshow instead.

 * Simply put the code in a text widget where you can simply wrap the image code
   with link tags. Clean and simple.
 * Thanks

 * Hi Don’t worry about the last question. Was easier to just use a different slide
   option so that there is always an image present and the white background is never
   revealed.
 * Thanks for your help.

 * Hi alchymyth
 * Thanks for the reply.
 * I inserted this into the functions and it did not work. However, I decided to
   try and insert the code in a standard text widget rather than the ‘(a) Slideshow’
   widget and it now works correctly!
 * My only issue now is that the background of the widget is white and visible in
   some transitions. I tried wrapping a div round the code and changing the background
   colour in the css, but this did not work. I then tried to find the code responsible
   in the php, but I am not too hot with php.
 * Do you know a simple way to override the background colour on the text widget?
 * If not, thanks for your help so far.
 * Superfried.

 * Also, if you want your home page tab to link to the index file with the slideshow
   on, rather than a page called home, install this plugin…
 * [http://txfx.net/wordpress-plugins/page-links-to/](http://txfx.net/wordpress-plugins/page-links-to/)
 * It enables you to link a page to a url of your choice rather than the default
   permalink.

 * Hi
 * On the dancefloor theme, go to appearance/editor and then select the ‘options.
   php’ file.
 * In there you will see it says ‘auto false’ in the third option from the top. 
   Change this to true and save.
 * This should make the slideshow appear. You can then change the images by adding
   featured events.
 * Hope this helps.

 * Hi Apljdi
 * Carlos at Gorilla sorted this out for me. I said that I had read somewhere a 
   good way round the issue was to install custom fields for featured articles. 
   I was not able to do this myself, but he was and now this problem is resolved.
 * Thanks

 * Ok, so I have been doing some more reading. I found that the ‘gallery.php’ file
   was inactive and potentially causing the problem. So I found a page that suggested
   I set-up a new file and locate it in a folder called ‘nggallery’ in my theme 
   folder.
 * Now, rather than use the actual nextgen widget, using shortcode in a text widget
   enables you to force it to link to the correct php file…
 * New php file…
    `gallery-latestreleases.php`
 * Located here…
    `wp-content/themes/dancefloor/nggallery`
 * Shortcode…
    `[nggallery id=1 template=latestreleases]`
 * So the slideshow works as before, but once again, the custom field links are 
   not working and when you click on the image it simply brings in the next slide.
 * If anyone can help with this it would be great, as this is one of the last niggles
   I need to iron out.
 * The development url is:
    `http://www.atmosoft.co.uk`

 * Hi Apljdi
 * Thanks for getting back to me.
 * That did seem to rectify the situation, so I got the client to purchase a higher
   level of the theme so that we can get forum support. Carlos at Gorilla is now
   looking into the issue and I will post back when we find a solution as it may
   be useful to others.

 * Hello
 * I have also been having trouble with this with a site I am developing for a DJ
   friend. I am a graphic designer, ok with html and css, but new to php.
 * I have now replaced the custom fileds solution I found elsewhere with this one,
   including the extra amend by shauno. Instead of my images linking to a post they
   do not link at all. When you click them it activates the next slide. This makes
   me think that perhaps I have selected something in the options that is overriding
   the custom fields. Or one of my other plugins is causing a conflict.
 * Also, when I look at the code using chrome developer tools, there is no link 
   showing wrapped around the images.
 * In the fields for each image I have simply inserted a standard google url:
    [http://www.google.co.uk](http://www.google.co.uk)
 * Is this correct or do you also need the ‘href’ or to include a complete link 
   code including the ‘img src’ etc?
 * The development url is:
 * [http://www.atmosoft.co.uk](http://www.atmosoft.co.uk)
 * Any help would be gratefully received!
