Image href's in Image Gallery Problem

hey people,

I hope somebody can help me out. I want to make my Images in the image gallery clickable links and I managed to make that happen by wrapping my overlay effects inside a “href” . But then a problem seems to appear. My Image gallery then automatically places a blank space next to the image i included the href in. So my Image grid div container somehow treats my href as a img? So it works on the overlay effect as wished, but also gets placed as an additional item in the image grid. How do i solve this mess?
thanks in advance

Hi,

I couldn’t really get a working example up and running so this is just a guess but what happens if you make the anchor the ‘image__overlaywagen’ wrapper itself.

e.g.

  <img src="https://i.ibb.co/jghdK6p/Bildschirmfoto-2022-11-23-um-21-18-29.png" alt="Kinovorführung">
  <a class="image__overlaywagen" href="https://www.facebook.de">
    <div class="image__title">Wagen </div>
    <p class="image__subtitle"> Tag der Clubkultur 202 </p>
  </a>

If that doesn’t help then try posting a codepen or similar that we can work with :slight_smile:

Thanks man it worked! really helped me out here and learned a new trick! :slight_smile:
