[resolved] WordPress adds images to gallery - lightbox does not work? (3 posts)

    OK, here is the problem:

    When I add images locally I can preview inserted images in lightbox 2.

    But when I add images on my live server it adds images to a gallery and bypasses the lightbox preview, showing a separate page with the still image?

    In edit post view I go to 'Add Media' only to find there is a gallery option after the 'From URL' tab. I have no idea why it does this.

    Could I have traces of a deleted plugin that is causing this?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Another thing:

    On the live server:

    When I have 3 images lined up in 1 post, and lightbox is turned off, I can click on any picture and it generates a new page with the selected image in the middle and smaller previous and next images underneath?

    In my local test server:

    When I have 3 images lined up on 1 post, and lightbox is turned off, I can click on any image and it will display the full size image on a new page WITHOUT any previous or next thumbnail images?

    This has to be some plugin that has refused to delete properly from my wordpress installation...surely?

    OK, I have discovered that I need to set the images to 'link to image' in order to get lightbox to function properly.

    Any ideas if this can be set to the default when uploading images?
