    Hey guys,

    Kind of a newbie here, please excuse the ignorance. If anyone has any information our could point me to a link that would rock my socks…

    Problem:

    my blog posts are structured as so

    Large Image
    Text
    Thumbnails

    I’m using the upload feature to upload large images and checking “thumbnail” to make the actual thumbnails at the bottom of my posts also checking “link to page” hoping the thumb nail would take you to the larger image, but it only takes you to the actual post. not the larger image of the thumb.

    I know you can check “link to file” but that only displays the image it self, not an image still inside the content area of the site.

    So im looking to click a thumbnail and have the larger images displayed inside the site, not just a link to a jpeg.

    Any plug-ins for this or clarification needed?

    Thanks guys!

    The options:
    thumb
    link to page
    send to editor
    should result in displaying the thumb AND when clicking display the image as attachment: inside something that looks like an empty WP page.

    If that link from the thumb goes to the post itself – there is something wrong with your setup.

    Sounds like you need a lightbox plugin – there are a variety of them about.

    I also recommend Flexible Upload which is an excellent plugin to gain a bit more control over your thumbnails etc.

    What he wants to do is that when you click on the thumbnail to take you directly to the post, instead of the page or the jpg! Im looking for something similar to this, but also to be able to control the size of the thumbnail displayed, and then inside the post be able to see the whole picture!

    Well. If you want to change where the thumbnail links to, when you insert it into your post or page, you just need to go into the code view and change the link URL.

    So instead of:

    <a href="largeimg.jpg"><img src="thumbimg.jpg" .. /></a>

    you’d have:

    <a href="page.html"><img src="thumbimg.jpg" .. /></a>

    To control the size of the thumnail displayed, I recommend Flexible Upload as above, as you can set default thumbnail sizes and you can also control it on a per upload basis.
