    I would like the images in the portfolio section to serve as product categories.
    Is it possible for each image to link directly to a new page, rather than opening a popup of a larger image? If so what is the easiest way to do this please?

    Kind regards

    Hi,

    what do you mean exactly? do you want link the images with the product in the shop?

    Well I basically want to set up category pages in WooCommerce which display sets of products.
    Then on the front of the site I want to show maybe 8 images which cover each category. i.e. just like the current portfoloio section, except when you click on one of the images it takes you straight into the category page, instead of popping out an image.
    In other words, is there some way we could have a facility to enter a custom redirect link on each portfolio item?

    Kind regards, Matt

    Hi woohoogle,

    I have found a possible solution. When you edit a portfolio item, you can add the link you want in the field ‘Excerpt’. And that will be the redirect link. What do you think?

    Hi, yes that sounds great.
    As long as we can see the image and the category title, and then click on either one to visit the redirect link, that will work perfectly.
    I tried adding a link to the excerpt box just now and it obviously doesn’t work as standard, is this something you need to code in to make it work?

    Many thanks,
    Matt
