Images in new pop-up windows?

    I can link from an image thumbnail to a full size image in a new window, but are there any other options here?
    I’d really like my image to float over the originating page in a pop up, but I understand that the Java window.open (and all scripts?) are not allowed here… and pop ups get blocked by everyone anyway.
    No other slick techniques?

    A pop up window would be nice, but I don’t know of a way to do that here.

    We have an option of attachment pages. If you insert a “gallery” the pages are “attachment pages” but they (attachment pages) have a number of drawbacks, including the fact that you can’t edit them directly. Only edit via the media library > description (html) and you have no control of whether readers can comment.

    But you can make images you upload individually open in adjustment pages.
    select “post url” when you upload an image. then edit via the media library>description to add more info about the picture.

    It can be useful for specific reasons.

    Here I made a segue into another topic using the attachment pages:

    Here’s an answer that “panaghiotisadam” gave me when I asked the same question …

    Modify the code in the HTML editor as follows:

    change from this…..

    [a href=IMAGE_URL_HERE”]

    to this…..

    [a href=”IMAGE_URL_HERE” target=”_blank”]

    (I used square brackets instead of sideways “V”s to make sure the code would appear)
