   Hi,
   I need to force images (linked by a thumbnail or any link) to open in a wordpress page rather than standalone in the browser.

   See this post below :

   When you click the tomatoes image, the image opens. I need it to open inside a WP page.

   How do I do that ?

   Any clues ?

   Thanks !

   Create a page with the full image on it.

   When you post the thumbnail, have it point to the page.

   After creating the page you can place the cursor over the "View Page" button and then right click and save link location. OR, you can open the page in a new tab or window and copy it from the address bar.

   Place the <a href="the location of the above link"> before the <img src=""> and don't forget to add the </a> at the end.

   If you insert the image into your post, choose your preview size, and then select link to "Post URL", (rather than link to file URL), won't it open the image in a single page as long as the image will fit on that page?
