    I can create a gallery on a page but I haven’t figured out how to link individual pictures to other galleries. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Hi there,

    Unfortunately images in a gallery only have the option to link to their Attachment page, Media File or open up the Carousel. You can’t add links to other pages (or galleries) to the images added as a gallery.

    An alternative would be to add each gallery to their own page on your site, and then have a page where you add one image from each gallery to another page on your site and then use the Insert Link option for each image and link them to their respective gallery page:

    That or you could look at posting each gallery on the same post but have each use the Slideshow layout:

    More details on using Galleries on WordPress.com can be found here:

    There are also plugins out there that will allow you to do what you’re looking create on your site, but you would have to upgrade your account in order to install plugins. That or there may be a theme out there that allows for galleries of galleries.

    Hope this helps,
    Richard
