I reloaded the image, changing the "Attachment display settings" to " link to media file", and rewrote the caption-- in effect starting over-- and this was the result. I then tried to reload the original version of the image and there was no change.

I use the visual editor and once I put the image in, I just click on it, click on the Link icon, and put in the URL I want the image to link to, in this case, the file link.

Older posts i can click and expand images.

I tried reloading one of my images, in the post "best of the drawing of the day-- i married a yeti", and the now the image will not display at all! You can see the garbage result on my blog right now. This is worse than the old problem!

Help!

The extra added step is very fiddly and counterintutive.

Agreed.

The old way just worked right the first time. Is there any way this can be changed back?

No there isn't.

The extra added step is very fiddly and counterintutive. The old way just worked right the first time. Is there any way this can be changed back?

For what it's worth, I think everything was fine the way it was. Thanks for kicking this upstairs-- the powers that be should definitely know about this.

Thanks for going through all of that. I have tagged this thread for Staff assistance. They need to know what bloggers are experiencing re: the changes and they will help you sort this.

I am going to read more about the solution that user found useful.

]]> bissempalla on "blog pictures not "clickable"" http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/blog-pictures-not-clickable#post-1085191 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 22:22:14 +0000 bissempalla 1085191@http://en.forums.wordpress.com/ Yes, kinda sorta.

I went into edit mode and looked at the posts where the image was clickable. I clicked on the image, and then on the "photo" icon that leads to the image editing screen. On each of them, on the first screen, "edit image". there was a URL in the space marked "link URL".

In the "edit image" screen of the unclickable images, that space was blank. However, if I moved over to "advanced settings", there was a URL in the space marked "Source". When I copied that URL and pasted it into the "link URL" space in the Edit Image screen, the image became clickable.

However, when you click on the image, you see it at the same size it was in the post, rather than at full size.

That solves the problem of the unclickable images, but not the problem of readers not being able to see the image full sized. Since my blog is mostly an art blog, I want my readers to be able to see detailed full sized images of the sketches and drawings I post.

But this is not true of the last four images I have posted.

If you go to the blog and scroll down to the image of the cover of a drafting textbook, you can click on that. But the four more recent (a photo of cookies, two scans of penciled comics pages, and a photo of J. Robert Oppenheimer) cannot be clicked.

Help, please?

Thanks,
Pam
