  When anyone clicks on an image in my latest post and then exits from that image, an ad for WordPress appears. Folks are literally taken to another site and cannot continue navigating mine.

  Site: http://latrellebright.com.
  WP.com: Unknown
  Jetpack: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  This is judgecricket.

  It only happens when I use the Create Gallery feature. I removed the galleries and just inserted each image separately so I imagine the “takeover” is attached to the gallery feature. Is there a way for me to use the gallery feature and not have everyone rerouted to https://oakandcove.com?

  Hello there,

  Just to check, is this for the site: http://latrellebright.com – if yes, this is a self-hosted site and our support would be limited.

  This description is symptomatic of malware, which may be either in the site or in the device the site is being viewed on.

  I would advise looking into doing some security checks on both to help remove anything undesirable.

  I hope this is useful information.
