Inserting a link in a photo

  • I am attempting to use a photo I have uploaded as a link. I know I have done it before but now when I click the picture a blank light box opens.
    Here is what I see if I edit it in Visual.

    Here is the post.

    I see this error in the console. The blogspot site is not allowing you to open an image hosted there on your site.

    XMLHttpRequest cannot load https://passionforthepast.blogspot.com/2013/07/faces-of-history-original-photographs.html?random=1464562795659. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'https://www.bilfer49.com' is therefore not allowed access.

    It’s called hot-link blocking.

    That is a little beyond my ken. Is that a setting in WP or my host. BTW it also happens if I use any other image or url.

    what that error is saying is that blogspot won’t let you link to that image from your site. It’s not a WordPress problem.

    OK. Now I understand what you are saying. But I just attempted to use a photo I took to link to one of my pages and I get an error. WP attempts to open a lightbox window. The console shows “Synchronous XMLHttpRequest on the main thread is deprecated because of its detrimental effects to the end user’s experience. For more help https://xhr.spec.whatwg.org/”.

    The code inserted is [caption id="attachment_1901" align="alignleft" width="4320"]<img class=”wp-image-1901 size-full” src=”https://www.bilfer49.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/Ambulance897.jpg&#8221; alt=”Ambulance 897″ width=”4320″ height=”2432″ /> My ride[/caption]
    Is there an error in what WP inserted?

    What lightbox plugin are you using?

    I am not using a plug-in. The code that WP inserted did not copy correctly. It left the link out.

    a lightbox is not default WordPress behavior, so you must be using a plugin or the lightbox is built into your theme.

    It appears you have one called “photo-gallery”, perhaps this one:

    Is it up to date? The current version is 1.2.105

    Disable the plugin. If the problem goes away, then post something here:

    I actually had 2 gallery plug ins. NextGen gallery and photo gallery. I had used Nextgen for quite a while until I found that Photo Gallery better suited my needs. i never converted all my NextGen galleries so I left that active. Disabling Photo gallery did nothing but disabling NextGen fixed it.
    Now I have to convert all my galleries.
    Go enjoy your ribeyes and thanks so much!
