Hi! I would like to create a photogallery in which every photo links to a post. Can you help me?

Howdy!
First you’ll need to create your gallery of images either in a Page, Post, or in a Widget. Here’s a guide on how to create galleries:

Once you’ve created your gallery, you can edit the images so that they link to appropriate posts. Read here on how to adjust where images link to

You’ll want to use the “Custom URL” for the “Link To” field, and add the URL for the post where you want the reader to go when clicking that image.
Let me know if you hit any snags. :)

Hi Alex! Thanks a lot for answering.
I don’t know why, but I can link the way you explain when I insert a single image in a page or post, but I can’t link every single image of a gallery to a single post.
At the moment I’ve linked the different post and pages to every photo thanks to the title and the caption. Anyway, when I click on a photo I see it bigger and the links are under the image. I would like to link directly to a post.
You can see my gallery in this page:

HI there,
Now I see the issue. I apologize for not immediately understanding. I see how you’re using the Tiled Mosaic gallery as a menu of sorts, but the gallery only allows you to link to “attachment page” or “media file” not to a custom URL.
I did a little more digging and found that this feature request is already known to our developers but we’ve not yet found the best way to implement it.
For now, the best thing I can suggest as a workaround is to add each of your images individually, and you can customize their sizes and positions to closer resemble a tiled gallery.
Best,
