How to Add Links, Captions & Description to Gallery Images?

You can add links, captions, and descriptions to your gallery images directly from the Divi Visual Builder. We will show you how to do it while creating a new gallery or when working with an existing one.

Here is how:

Step 1: Add the Advanced Gallery Module

Open the Divi Builder and insert a DiviFlash gallery module. Currently, DiviFlash offers three gallery modules:

  • Advanced Gallery
  • Justified Gallery
  • Packery Gallery

In this guide, we will use the Advanced Gallery module as an example to show you the process.

Step 2: Add a New Gallery Item (Advanced Gallery Only)

In the module settings’ Content tab, click “+ Add New Advanced Gallery Item” to create a new gallery item.

Note: If you are using Justified Gallery or Packery Gallery, skip this step 2.

Step 3: Select Images

Now click “+ Add Gallery Images” which will open the Media Library. There you can:

  • Select images from the Media Library
  • Or upload new files

Step 4: Add Details (Caption, Description, Link)

After selecting or uploading an image, you will see certain fields on the right side. From there, fill the following fields:

  • Caption: Text displayed with the image
  • Description: Additional information about the image
  • DF Image URL: A custom link for the image

Once you have added the details, click Select.

Step 5: Repeat for All Images

Repeat Step 3 and Step 4 for each image in your gallery where you want to add a link, caption, or description. Once done, return to the module settings.

Step 6: Enable Link, Caption and Description Display Options

To display the information you added, you have to enable the following options:

Enable Custom Links

To activate clickable image links:

  • Go to the Content tab
  • Open Gallery Settings
  • Enable Use Custom Link

Show Captions and Descriptions

To display captions and descriptions on hover:

  • Go to the Content tab
  • Open Hover Settings
  • Enable Show Caption and Show Description

Step 7: Save Your Changes

Click Save Changes & Exit Visual Builder.

Add Links, Captions & Descriptions to Existing Gallery Images

If you already created a gallery and want to add or update links, captions, or descriptions, here is what you need to do:

  • Open the page or post containing the gallery
  • Open the Gallery Module Settings
  • Go to Gallery Images
  • Click the image you want to edit
  • Add the Caption, Description, or URL
  • And enable the display options from the module settings
