How to make link to "large" image instead of full size?

I will take a look to the plugin.

I think in de [gallery] code WordPress can make a better job.

I’ve been looking for a solution to the same issue. I wanted users the ability to upload full size images (4000px wide, for example), but when they inserted the image into their post, I wanted the image to link to the large size, instead of the full size. I used a filter to modify the admin screen using the attachment_fields_to_edit hook.

Just want to note that I too was looking for this EXACT feature.

Something along the lines of [gallery link="file" attachment="large"] would be great!

I want to have my gallery thumbnails link to the WordPress auto-generated “large” image instead of the original full-sized image that was uploaded, but there does not seem to be an easy way to make this happen.

If you have already uploaded your images take a look at This adds a filter to the [gallery] shortcode to use the large image.

Wow, nice work, C. J. L. Dragon! That’s perfect.

cjldragon‘s php script from his link helps Me too.

Wow yeah cjldragon’s functions.php script was perfect. I just dropped it in and worked right form the get go.

Is there a way to make this code

[gallery file=link]

As wordpress default Code for galleries, instead of

[gallery] wich results in [gallery file=attachement]

Maybe this question is a bit out of topic

Really thank you
