photo enlargement upon clicking

    – great, thanks. I’ve just changed “Threads …Ch 9” page, and that photo now enlarges too. Thank you very much for your help.

    hi I’ve got the same problem about photos that don’t enlarge when clicked on, and I’m particularly worried because I stupidly accidentally deleted a couple of these photos. So my only hope to get them back is via the blog. I’ve tried to follow the above instructions with two pics but got quite confused and only succeeded in opening them in a new page on a tiny scale. I would actually prefer, not to enlarge them which clicked on, but resize them to medium within the blog permanantly. And somehow download back the largescale pics, if they are stored within the blog! Any thoughts? The page I was working on is at http://talestotell.wordpress.com/2009/01/04/jabalia-6pm-sat-til-sun-midday/

    @talestotell: You’re talking about “Rocket fire” and “Family fleeing”, right?

    To get the originals back, click on the photos in the actual blog page, remove the ?w=etc. part of the code from the address bar of the browser, refresh.

    They can also be found in your Media Library.

    To change the settings of the photos, click on them in the visual post editor, then click the edit button (the mountain icon); click None for no new window view, click on a percentage to change the displayed size, click Update, click Update Post.

    Go to your media library. Where it says “Show all dates” use the dropdown menu to choose January 2009; click “Filter.” You’ll see all of the pictures you uploaded then. Find the ones you deleted, hover next to the thumbnail, and and choose edit. On that screen you’ll see the “File URL.” Copy that so you can download your image. (see an example using one of your images below)

    This way will open a large image in a new window:
    (add your caption later)
    <a href="http://talestotell.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/fire-beside-rc1.jpg" target="blank"><img class="size-medium wp-image-339" title="fire-beside-rc1" src="http://talestotell.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/fire-beside-rc1.jpg" alt="" width="300" /></a>

    This way the image won’t be clickable:
    <a><img class="size-medium wp-image-339" title="fire-beside-rc1" src="http://talestotell.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/fire-beside-rc1.jpg" alt="" width="300" /></a>

    If you put just this part into your browser’s nav bar, then you’ll be able to download the image:

    Panos’s article will explain image link options much better than I have done here:

    @Tess: I would change the settings your way, of course (the html way!); but I thought talestotell might not be familliar with html, so I suggested the visual way instead.

    Of course.
    I was wondering if the captions might get messed up doing it only with the visual editor—I rarely use captions but we sometimes see image problems when captions are involved. They are a shaky and under-developed feature.

    thank you! What a relief.
