winediplomats

I have the same problem with my blog: winediplomats.com I have never once made any money from the website. I don’t have a related business. I don’t sell anything. I don’t advertise anything. I only give my honest opinion on products other people sell. I don’t ask for donations or sponsorship. As a wine review blog, I have received some offers for sponsorship which I have rejected or never been able to agree upon, and I do have a samples policy in case people want to offer me something to review. Bottom line, it is not my intention to make money from the site. It is a hobby. If someday it ever becomes popular enough that I could, then it could turn commercial. For the moment, it’s just a hobby.

Thanks a lot.

The link works for the photo in the blog post, but it just doesn’t work for the photos in the gallery.

Thanks for responding. I am completely inexperienced with websites and coding. All I know was that the links to the photos in the gallery were working the day before your gallery update happened the following morning. Then it stopped working. I tried deleting and installing it again, but it didn’t work. I tried deleting and installing again the Meow Customs Link plugin too.

As far as how I embed URLs in the gallery photos, I just go to my WP media library, click on the photo and add the URL where it says Link URL. Then it usually works. I think it’s from your Custom Links plugin.

I really know nothing about coding. Here’s the most recent PHP error log:

Although I wasn’t able to solve the original problem, I just decided to abandon the default WordPress Gallery and add the Meow Gallery plugin instead, which I figured would work better with the Gallery Custom Link since it’s the same designer. I had to reupload the photos with the Meow Gallery plugin activated, but was eventually able to get all the photos in my gallery with a working link again.

Thanks for all your help troubleshooting this problem. I did find that I have a plugin called Gallery Custom Links. Perhaps some other update is not compatible with it because I don’t think Gallery Custom Links has been updated in a while. I will try their support.

Yes. I have. It didn’t change anything.

I’ve also just added a new photo to the gallery to link to my new post and it’s doing the same thing.

My guess is that it has something to do with the way my photos have been uploading recently. Ever since a few weeks ago, all the photos I upload change to “scaled” version of the photo while my previous photos kept the original file of the photo. That’s the main difference I can see when I click on the photos to see the attachment details.

In addition, the photo appears on the left when I click on attachment details while the photo doesn’t appear in the previous photos. Similarly, when I add the photo in the blog post, it used to come as a really tiny version of the photo (with dimensions at 1 X 1), so I had to manually enter the dimensions in the code, but now it appears as a small scaled version photo, but not tiny like before. I always thought there was something wrong with the adding media feature because the photo would automatically appear so small that I couldn’t see and I would have to adjust it in the code, but I grew accustomed to doing it that way. Now, I can see the photo when I upload it in the blog post, but it’s a scaled version and it won’t the link won’t work in the gallery.

Do you know if there’s a way to change how a photo is uploaded? OR should we just try to find another way to do a gallery?

Just to see what would happen, I used the link from an old post from 2 years ago that is no longer featured in the wine review gallery on the home page and put it as the URL of the photo, but the same thing happened. It went to a bigger version of the photo and not to the old post.

I will be adding a new post anyway in the next couple of days, so I can try using that link in the photo and also try adding a new photo to see if it goes to that link too.

Thanks.

If you click on Blog, you can find the article there that it’s supposed to link to and it works fine there.

This is the address that I copied from the article page: https://winediplomats.com/sagrantino/

I just noticed that the slug that you gave is misspelled, so that’s probably why it’s not working. But it’s spelled correctly in my media library.

This is what the photo that doesn’t link looks like when I try to edit it. I’ve also included one that does work. In the second photo, there is an option to add a Link URL at the bottom on the right.

The only plugin I think that affects my photos is EWWW Image Optimizer but I’ve already spoken with their support staff and they say it has nothing to do with their plugin and when I disabled, I tried uploading the photo again. It still didn’t link like the others.

No. The way I make my gallery is through the media library. So when I click on add media, you have the option to add a gallery, so I manually pick each photo I want in the gallery. If it’s a photo I want to use in my gallery, I give a link to the photo in my library where it says “Link URL” (after clicking on the photo and it goes to attachment details where you can edit the photo).
The code looks like this: [gallery columns="4" ids="2667,2613,2612,2574,2573,2469,2468,2467,2417,2396,2385,2381,2333,2332,2323,2294"] I can’t click and edit individual photos in the gallery itself. I have to do it in the media library.

I know there must be better ways to make a gallery, but that’s how I do it. One difference I see with the photo I uploaded that won’t go to the link is that the photo was changed to “scaled” version of the photo while my previous photos were not. The original version was uploaded for the other photos in the gallery. So I think it’s an issue of how the photo was uploaded. It’s been different for a couple of weeks now.

I believe it’s the default gallery. My theme is called Parabola. The weird thing is all the other photos in the gallery work as I want with links to blog post. It’s only the photo that I uploaded last week that’s been the problem.

Sorry. You’re right. I should post in a WordPress Forum about this problem.
