JQuery - Gallery caption text as link to wrap gallery items

Question

I'm trying to wrap() the .gallery-items with the text() that is an url from the .gallery-caption. My problem is that all the urls are fetched and inserted into the a href"=https://s.

What would be the proper way to make it work correctly? Thank you in advance.

Below is my attempt:

$(".gallery-item").wrap($("<a/>").attr("href", "http://"+$(".gallery-caption").text().trim()));

I also tried to implement the $(this)... but I might have it used wrongly.

You can simply use each loop and then inside this loop use this which will refer to current element which is iterated .

Demo Code :

$(".gallery-item").each(function() {
  $(this).wrap($("<a/>").attr("href", "http://" + $(".gallery-caption", this).text().trim()));
})
