Gallery hover is affecting image links

Site URL: https://iris-apricot-ph4a.squarespace.com/

I've used come custom CSS (pasted below) to make my gallery captions appear as a hover, however this seems to have affected the links I've applied to the images? They need to link to their own web page – it will function sort of like a portfolio grid (didn't want to use portfolio grid because it didn't appear as I wanted)

.gallery-caption {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
background: rgba(0,0,0,0.6); /* overlay color */
height: 100%;
max-width: unset;
padding: 0;
opacity: 0;
}
.gallery-caption-wrapper {
display: flex;
align-items: center; /* center vertically */
justify-content: center; /* center horizontally */
}
.gallery-caption-content {
font-size: 1.6rem !important; /* caption font size */
font-weight: 600 !important;
color: white; /*caption font color */
}
.gallery-grid-item {
position: relative;
}
.gallery-grid-item:hover .gallery-caption {
opacity: 1;
}
.gallery-caption-grid-simple {
transition-delay: 0ms;
}

You mean the link doesn't work? Try edit this code

.gallery-caption {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
background: rgba(0,0,0,0.6); /* overlay color */
height: 100%;
max-width: unset;
padding: 0;
opacity: 0;
}

to this

.gallery-caption {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
background: rgba(0,0,0,0.6); /* overlay color */
height: 100%;
max-width: unset;
padding: 0;
opacity: 0;
pointer-events: none;
}
