Same problem here; disappointing that…
– This used to work with the custom fields plugin
– Some update broke it and now it doesn’t
– NGG doesn’t offer this feature
– Plugin that did now doesn’t work
Sad face.
Example page:
http://www.bigbendcares.org/artopia-the-artopians/
Clicking on the first image (stacey anne) should take you here:
http://www.bigbendcares.org/meet-an-artopian-stacey-anne/
Instead, it takes you to the image.
So… somehow, the custom fields aren’t being parsed anymore.
Similar problem here. Using a custom LINK field so that clicking an image takes visitor to a related page on the site, instead of taking visitor to the image itself (or lightbox popup).
Apparently some update (WordPress, I suspect) in the past year broke something – as it used to work.
