How to create product image gallery with affiliate links

Posted in: Newsmag

Hey guys,

I wanted to create something like this clickable product image gallery at the top of the page in the link below. As you can see each product is linked out to a page but I would like to know how I can achieve this look and have the user directed to an Amazon or other affiliate like once each image is clicked

I would like to get a similar look and link the products individually as in the example, the problem I’m having is I’m not sure how to embed something like this into a post.

I have switched to Visual composer on the post page and added the items as a separate image but this leaves a thin line at the right hand side of the items.

I have tried to recreate the same thing with masonry grid but there’s nowhere to add the link to the affiliate product.

Is there a simple way of doing this or maybe a plugin that I can use?

Many thanks

Click on the individual products and go straight to the store

Hi unplug.tips,

Sorry for the long delay unfortunately I can’t give you an exact answer on how you could do this because we haven’t tested any shop plugin except woocommerce and for it you could try one of this solution:
http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/128534/in-woocommerce-theme-need-to-add-custom-external-link
http://galengidman.com/2014/05/12/custom-woocommerce-cart-links/
http://docs.woothemes.com/document/set-a-custom-add-to-cart-url-to-redirect-to/
..or a plugin like: https://ro.wordpress.org/plugins/amazon-link/ or similar.

WP Gallery Custom links plugin could also be a solution for this however it hasn’t been tested so I can’t provide an accurate answer on this, the best way would be to test all these methods and find the one that suits you and meets your needs.
Hope this helps!

Thanks

Hi Lucian,

Thank you for taking the time to reply, as it’s not related to vital theme functions at a time when you must be very busy with new update hassles it’s much appreciated.

Many thanks
