Disabling default links on images

    On one of my blogs, images go up unmodified, but on my main blog (marathonrecaps, which uses a different Theme), images are given a hyperlink that points to a close-zoom version of the image. I don’t want this feature on any of my blogs, so how can I disable it?

    I found this thread from 2020 that says it has to be done via a setting the user can’t access, but that a staff member can. Is that still true today? If I’m not able to access it, can one of you help disable it for me, like in this example?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi there,

    Could you please give a link to the post with the image behaviour you mentioned? I’ve checked some posts on your site and couldn’t find the image with a hyperlink to its zoom-in version.

    Yes, that’s because I’ve been manually removing the links for years now. But there’s no need to worry about it now, because it looks like the problem has stopped itself! Maybe you did something, or maybe it was switched off when I changed the setting at the other blog?

    Either way, thank you for your time!
