images arent clickable any more ?
-
in my images , I used to be able to click on them and it open up the full sized image . effective epspecially on large panoramic ones .
recently I noticed I haven’t got the ability to ‘click’ on the image any more like I previously could . you don’t get the option . I know I uploaded the full sized images originally , but it still wont let me click it .
how do I fix I tried for hours to solve the issue but I’m getting nowhere . I do everything in wordpress.com not my own site .
thanks !The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

@timethief – many thanks , thought I was going nuts !!
is there a default for that always being on like it used to be , surely I don’t have to individually do this for every single image ?
“To have the resized image link to the larger version, click on the image in your post, then click the insert/edit link icon in the main editor toolbar. It should automatically fill in with the url of the full size image. Then save. ”

@timethief – can you help ?
now when im in the wp admin url based classic editor , when i click on image as above [click on the image in your post, then click the insert/edit link icon in the main editor toolbar. It should automatically fill in with the url of the full size image] , it doesnt fill in the box any more with the url . the url box is blank now . it worked when you last told me , but now it wont . how do i make it link to the full sized clickable image .
why do wordpress mess things up when they where correct orig . arghhh lol !
hope you can advise , thanks -
i can go to older posts , and anything that is clickable as soon as i click the image the ‘insert/edit link icon’ lights up . if it isnt it doesnt light up . anything not currently clickable im unable to make the url box fill itself in . it jsut remains blank therefore cannot make it open ot view full image .
going thru old posts its easy to see what has the link as insert/edit link icon instantly lights up .
infuriating mate !! -
omg what a piece of turd this is now .
heres a pathetic work around solution , surely there must be an easier way .
prev it auto did it
then we had to use stupid scenario above
now heres how . find image in wp admin edit mode youd like to link , then click media button , locate image image and click it , copy url on right , go back to edit page , click “insert link” as above and paste url , while each time the page defaults back to the top . this is a POS wordpress sort this crap right out
timethief – can you come up with easier solution please ? as i say when clicking “insert link” it doesnt now pre fill url you have to hunt it down as i jsut typed and copy n paste . def spoiling WP enjoyment , its actually a major chore jsut to be able to display my pic . no wonder people are using instagram etc

@tharobster, @timethief, actually you can add links to images in the newer editor. It’s seen many updates since that thread.
Here’s what I did:
– Click the image icon to add the image
– Click the image
– Click the link icon
– You’ll get the image URL; you can change that if needed
– Click Add Link
Can you give that a try? It’s one of those things that looks much more complicated written out, but it’s actually pretty simple once you’ve got it.

thanks @supernovia , works ok in new editor .
wordpress shame it doesnt work in old editor . and worse it just doesnt auto add the url link asit always had done , its an extra step that wasnt previously needed . webdevelopers , gotta love them .

For the media upload in the wp-admin editor, here’s what I did:
- Click the media icon
- Upload an image
- On the right, scroll down to Attachment Display Settings
- Under “Link To” choose “Media File”
- Insert into post
Is that working for you? If not, which step has you stuck?

ahh youre a winner @supernovia ! that drop down wasnt selected , now it works perfect . back to how it used to be hurahhhhh .
i raise my beer to you tonite ;-) -
