[gallery] not linking to file

i’ve searched the forums and found a few similar problems, but could not find solutions that worked for me.

i am using vr 3.0.2, with no plug ins, no transitions, pretty much a brand new install using mostly the wp-framework theme.

when i use the [gallery] shorthand within a post, i am always sent to the attachment page, despite indicating i want to go to the file. i tried the “cleaner gallery” plug in but it did not make a difference.

anyone have any suggestions as to why this is?
