do you want to remove title and leave only description? if yes, here it is
not-show-title-2520.html#p9324

and is it possible make that one linkable insthead the pictures behind it?

To make your featuredtext to be links, you need to open gallery.php page and find 2 existences of this line:

Code: Select all

<p><?php $key="featuredtext"; echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true); ?></p>

and replace both with:

Code: Select all

<p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?><?php $key="featuredtext"; echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true); ?></a></p>

Hi thanks for your answer. I'll tell you what you asked.
this is my prototipe site: www.tangotest.altervista.org.
In the end I choose to keep the plugin below the header so doesn't matter about the problem with the sidebar.

do you want to remove title and leave only description? if yes, here it is
not-show-title-2520.html#p9324

I wolud keep just titles and descriptions, but no problem, I used some white pictures, in this way looks there are just titles and descriptions without images.

To make your featuredtext to be links, you need to open gallery.php page and find 2 existences of this line:.....

I follow your istruction but it doesn't work well. In two page/post (that one with the white image in the plugin) I put "articleimg+ image path" and "featuredtext + description" in the custom field but in the plugin you can see just white space, without words.

Then I tried to change the custum field in one of the page/post. that one with the pictrure with the sky in the plugin. I uses name:articleimg and value: <ahref="link of the post"> description </a>.
Now the link appear but the link opened is uncorrect:
http://www.tangotest.altervista.org/not ... si/bsocial<ahref=
instead
http://www.tangotest.altervista.org/not ... si/bsocial

I don't know where exactly is the problem. Is it possible fix it altering the custom field?
thank you

Hi,
this is now my version of the plugin in my site: http://www.tangotest.altervista.org/
I'm sorry if I took off the picture part but in my site there are not image in the post then i choose this way.
last time I asked how to set clickable a part of the link. this time I wolud set clickable also the other one. I try to change the code but i couldn't.

I opened the file gallery.php and fine the two existance:

Code: Select all

<div class="imageElement">
    <h2><?php the_title() ?></h2>

and I change

Code: Select all

<?php the_title() ?>

with

Code: Select all

<a href="<?php the_title() ?>"> xxxxx</a>

I should put something in the xxxx part, don't I? If so, how can I solve?
thank you
