Image linking from Page Builder widgets

By Norman Morgan, 9 years ago. Last reply by Andrew Misplon, 9 years ago.

I just upgraded my Vantage them at the $35 level. Receipt # 3460-5847-8404-7995
I am having a problem using Page Builder. I am using WordPress to upgrade a web site for a club I belong to from essentially hand-coded HTML. Some of the pages have a complex mix of images scattered through a page of text, like photos in a magazine article. On the old site, this was done by using a series of tables with some cells merged. Some cells held thumbnail images individually linked to full size versions and other cells held text. Here is the photo page from our old site: http://www.http://locallocomodelrr.org/photos.html The problems arise when duplicating the Timesaver, Barn, Barbershop and Depot pages.
I can duplicate the table structure with Page Builder, but I cannot get the thumbnail images to link to the larges images to display them in a lightbox, as seen in htttp://http://www.locallocomodelrr.org/wp/photos/timesaver/
When I do not use Page Builder, I cannot get the page layout to work, but the thumbnails link perfectly to the larger images. See http://www.locallocomodelrr.ord/wp/phtos/Barn

    Hi, I Work Here

    Hi Norman

    Thanks for your support.

    Please include your order number in the next thread you open and it’ll bump you up our list. Your order number was emailed to you from SiteOrigin, it’s different to your receipt number from PayPal.

    This sounds like an issue with the lightbox plugin being used.

    If you’re using galleries I’d consider using the following modules in Jetpack:

    http://jetpack.me/support/tiled-galleries/ – gallery module
    http://jetpack.me/support/carousel/ – lightbox module

    Install Jetpack plugin, make sure those two are activated and then insert your galleries via the Visual Editor widget. The Visual Editor widget has an Add Media button > Create Gallery.

    However when I view this here: http://www.locallocomodelrr.org/wp/photos/timesaver/ I do see the lightbox working.

    Please disregard. Problem solved. 100% happy with Vantage and Page Builder. Worth the $35 and more!

    The solution was so simple I am almost embarrassed to tell you. I discovered quite by accident that when the Visual Editor widget opens, it is consistently scrolled down 3 or 4 lines, hiding the Add Image option. After I grabbed my ears and pulled my head out of my arse, everything was OK.

    Awesome, really glad to hear you made progress here. The Visual Editor widget is definitely one of the most useful for Page Builder.

    All the best with your project.
