Photo gallery no longer allows full size image to appear

    The site is all about local history photos. I started it using the Twenty Eleven theme on WordPress.com where the photo carousel works fine, but have moved to a local host so it is now ‘Pro’ and renamed tiptontimeline.co.uk
    In the original site (which is still there) when you click on an image it enlarges to full size with arrows left and right to show the other images in that block.
    After site migration if one clicks on an image nothing happens, so looking at a wide photo (e.g. old school photo) you cannot see the rest of the image. This applies to all photo gallery blocks on the site so is a big problem for me!
    I’m now starting to go back in time to earlier decades/years so there will be loads of photo gallery blocks for this local history website.
    Can you help me with this please? Do I need a simple plugin?

    You can bring that functionality from WordPress.com to your new self-hosted www.ads-software.com site with the Jetpack plugin: https://jetpack.com/support/carousel/

    The Jetpack plugin specifically brings already built-in WordPress.com features to self-hosted www.ads-software.com sites, so you might find more features you’re missing in there too: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/jetpack/ ??

    Thank you so much James! I’d suspected there was something extra needed – and you are the magic ingredient. I’ve now installed the free version of Jetpack and the site now seems to be working with full-sized images.
