  Hi,
  Of two of the galleries on my photo site – one is set up to link to a media file https://quietdearimbloomingwithin.wordpress.com/portfolio/rivers-and-creeks-2/
  and the other to an attachment page https://quietdearimbloomingwithin.wordpress.com/portfolio/faded-glory/
  I can see no difference in either.
  What I was hoping for is for a visitor to be able to click on an image in a gallery and for it to open an attachment page either via the carousel or not (I don’t mind).
  Is what I am trying to do possible?
  Thanking you in anticipation.

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

  Hi there,
  I see what you mean. Unfortunately, you cannot do that with the gallery functionality.
  There may be plugins available to create a similar gallery with the behavior you’re looking for, but I don’t know of any off-hand.

  Thank you for taking a look. I managed to achieve the functionality I was after by going into settings/media and taking the tick off of the carousel option.
