Not being able to click on pictures

  • Unknown's avatar

    So i’ve noticed a recent change in pictures i’ve uploaded, you can’t click on them to view them as theiir larger size. I can do it with older entries but for the last few days ive noticed the pictures aren’t linked.

    To fix the problem you’ll need to goto
    dashboard->Settings->Media->Check mark->file->Save changes

    Note this will fix the problem for future posts you’ll need
    go back and edit previous posts

    To fix previous posts edit post click picture click the edit icon
    on the picture then click file then save changes then save post
    now the picture should be clickable

    If you want your images to be linked to the original full-sized image that you uploaded, first go to settings > media and set “default media links” to “file URL.” WordPress has added a bunch of new settings for media on that page. Look over the other options and set them as you wish. Make sure and click “save changes” at the bottom of the page.

    Open the post with the image that is not linked, click on the image to highlight it, and then click on the edit button at the top left of the image. Click on the “file URL” button in the “link URL” section then click save changes. Make sure that the actual URL shows up in the field above the buttons. In some cases, people have been seeing the words “file URL” inserted into the field instead of the actual URL of the image. After making those changes, then save the post and preview it to make sure the image is now linked.

    Excellent advice, teck & tsp. One small correction: after clicking the edit icon it’s click Link to Image, click Update.

    @ panaghiotisadam, thanks for the correction. I was going from memory.

    Seems we’ll be using these answers of yours a lot these days, so we’d better polish them!
