   I am having trouble when I publish thumbnails using the on board gallery tool. The thumbs show just fine, however they do not link through to the attachment.php page correctly.

   In draft/preview mode, it works perfectly.

   Once it publishes LIVE to the site, the URLS change.

   Example gallery (scroll to the very bottom):

   http://icydk.com/2008/12/08/new-lady-gaga-elle-magazine-scans/

   The thumbnail links do not show the larger image page(attachment.php) when clicked.

   However in draft/preview mode, they click through just fine.

   It looks like the ?attachment_id=XXXX variable is pulling in the file name instead of the correct id number.

   How do I control this and get them pointed in the correct direction?

   Have you tried:

   - deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

   - switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-related problems?

   - resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin? Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

   Hi,

   Set your desired permalink and add this code in htaccess:

   # BEGIN WordPress
   
   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
   </IfModule>
   
   # END WordPress

   Thanks,

   Shane .

   Hey Shane -

   No luck with that. Any other ideas?

   Update:

   When the gallery tool makes the thumbnail links, it makes them like this:

   http://domain.com/2009/12/08/new-lady-gaga-elle-magazine-scans-2/lg1/

   However, it SHOULD be like this:

   http://domain.com/2009/12/08/new-lady-gaga-elle-magazine-scans-2/attachment/attachment/lg1/

   Once the /attachment/ is added, everything works fine. How do I get it do do that?

   Ohh, and I should add that this site is not on apache. It's nginx.

   Your help is greatly appreciated!

   I'm having the exact same problem. Tluskie, I checked your site and it seems to work ok now? Could you tell me what the problem was for you?

   I was having this exact same problem. After 3 hours of pain, i finally found it was due to the sCategory Permalink plugin i had installed. When i completely removed this and updated each post, the attachment links corrected themselves. Do you have this plugin installed?
   I found another plugin that allows me to customise my permalinks without causing this issue called Custom Permalinks.

   Hope this solves your problem.
