wordpress posting q

Hi all,

When I post an image in a wordpress post (by inserting a thumbnail from the gallery into the text) it links to the image page not the image, how do I get it to link to just the full size image (so it will lightbox properly)

Anyone had this issue and cracked it?

Cheers,
David

Have you put "lightbox" in the class field (insert the pic, then hover over the thumbnail, then click on the left icon, then click advanced and it's there)

It depends what plugin you're using, but that might fix it

aaaah will try, I had it set to auto lightbox img links and didn't know there was another way

Cheers

I think the issue is I use fancybox and its built into the theme to lightbox anything in a gallery, is it a matter of using the right class for it?

going to look around the fancybox site.

It's probably conflicting with another plugin... Why not just use the built in Lightbox?

I haven't used Fancybox so can't comment on differences, but it can't be that different, can it?

it is the built in one, I was using lightbox 2 until I realised they were fighting, works fine for galleries but not for random images, am just using galleries atm, working on it to be able to have images among the text instead.
