Post Redirect Link Conflicts with Plugin

Hello, my site’s MLA Gallery was working perfectly until I implemented a new plugin for a search option using a premium version of SEARCH IN PLACE.

So I know it’s the search in place plugin giving the trouble (because I’ve activated and deactivated to test), but I was wondering if the code could be tweaked on the gallery end to work together.

On my website here: http://www.theforgottenlair.net/test/ the text link underneath the thumbnail images are supposed to (and used to) link directly to the post page they’re attached to. Is there a small fix to this so that it works again? Otherwise I’ll have to contact the SIP guys…

EDIT: I should note that the links to the posts are coded to the gallery are in this form: (http://www.theforgottenlair.net/mobile-wallpapers/?page_id=9421) but when it reaches the page, it looks like this (http://www.theforgottenlair.net/mobile-wallpapers/sankarea/) due to how I have my WP set up. Was there ever a way to just have the links be in their text form rather than the uglier page id form? But as you can see, the Page ID link form does not work with SIP.

Thank you so very much.

Oh, the code I have is
[mla_gallery my_custom_sql='attachment_category=mobile orderby=id order=DESC' size=medium link=file columns=4 mla_caption="<a href='http://www.theforgottenlair.net/mobile-wallpapers/?page_id={+parent+}'>{+parent_title+}</a>" mla_target='_blank' numberposts=40]

Thank you for the detailed report and the links to your site. Thanks, too, for posting the compete source text for your shortcode.

If you are using the latest MLA version (v2.01)you can try one of the new “Gallery-specific Substitution Parameters” to change the links in the gallery. Change your mla_caption parameter from:
```
href='http://www.theforgottenlair.net/mobile-wallpapers/?page_id={+parent+}'>{+parent_title+}</a>"
```
to
```
href='http://www.theforgottenlair.net/mobile-wallpapers/{+page_name+}/'>{+parent_title+}</a>"
```
Let me know if that is the only SIP issue you have and if the suggested changes resolve it. I will leave this topic unresolved until I hear back from you.

When I changed it to {+page_name+} all the links lead to the very last post in that specific category. (mobile) They are not linking to their respective pages and are instead all linked to the last alphabetical post. (zankyou-no-terror)

Yes, you’re right – please forgive my hasty and incorrect suggestion.

I have added two new item-specific substitution parameters, parent_name and parent_permalink to the list. I will post an update here as soon as those additions make it to the Development Version here in the Repository. Thanks for your understanding and your patience.

No problem, I’ll wait. You’ve been super helpful. 🙂

EDIT: It seems it was something with the SIP plugin’s updated files that was doing something to the site. The problem no longer exists, thank you for helping. 🙂

Thanks for the updates with the good news! I went ahead and added the new item-specific substitution parameters, parent_name and parent_permalink to the Development Version. They are a good addition and if you want to give them a try, let me know how they work for you.

I see this topic is marked resolved, but please update it if you have any other issues with the URLs in your galleries.
