 * Hello again
 * I have some cartoons that are split in multiple images/pages, Is there a way 
   to display them as one group or item in the gallery? Maybe including a post that
   has a gallery-widget/multiple images in the mla-gallery for example.

 * Thanks for your question. I have been trying to think of a way to add some sort
   of “group” feature to `[mla_gallery]` but I haven’t come up with any feasible
   solution. The shortcode depends on the WordPress `WP_Query` class to query the
   database (once) and select the items for display, sort them in the proper order,
   etc. I can’t think of any general way to add “group” items to that process.
 * I regret the news is not better, but I am marking this topic resolved simply 
   because I’ve answered the question to the best of my ability. Thanks for your
   understanding.

 * I put my images in a native WordPress gallery inside a post. Then uploaded a 
   thumbnail pic in media. Then for the thumbnail image I set a custom link pointing
   to the article using [Gallery Custom Links](https://wordpress.org/plugins/gallery-custom-links/),
   Not exactly simple, but works.

 * Well, that’s creative! Thanks for sharing the idea so others can benefit. Thanks
   for the link to Gallery Custom Links, too; I love all of Jordy Meow’s plugins
   and have worked with him to support them in MLA.
