Title: Gallery Image Error Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Gallery Image Error * [wanderinglawyer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wanderinglawyer/) * (@wanderinglawyer) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/gallery-image-error/) * Hi all! * I’m having trouble with the gallery function, and am hoping somebody can help me out with it. The gallery displays properly on the page. But whenever I click on an image it opens up an in-page window with the image expanded in another site page. It’s the same as a link directly to an image, it shows the image as a page in the site except within the in-page expanded window that the gallery should use. You can see a screenshot here: [http://wanderinglawyercom.fatcow.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Screen-shot-2013-05-22-at-11.52.57-PM.png](http://wanderinglawyercom.fatcow.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Screen-shot-2013-05-22-at-11.52.57-PM.png) * Has anyone had this issue? * Thanks!

Is this the default gallery that you are using? * Thread Starter [wanderinglawyer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wanderinglawyer/) * (@wanderinglawyer) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/gallery-image-error/#post-3777673) * I’m using a theme called Fleximag, but I’m this is with the default WordPress gallery. * [graphical_force](https://wordpress.org/support/users/graphical_force/) * (@graphical_force) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/gallery-image-error/#post-3777677) * The gallery by default opens up the images when clicked on and goes to another page. Are you saying you don’t want that to happen? * Thread Starter [wanderinglawyer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wanderinglawyer/) * (@wanderinglawyer) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/gallery-image-error/#post-3777683) * No, it’s that it does a combination of opening in a new page and opening an expanded window. The gallery opens the image in a new page, but that new page is displayed in an expanded window within the original page. The screenshot up there isn’t two separate tabs, it’s what the expanded window in-gallery shows. * I’d be okay with either a new window _or_ an expanded in-gallery image (preferably the latter), but I can’t seem to make that happen. * Thanks!! * [graphical_force](https://wordpress.org/support/users/graphical_force/) * (@graphical_force) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/gallery-image-error/#post-3777689) * Does this happen with the default theme? This will tell you if the Fleximag theme is causing this behavior and you know where to focus at. * Thread Starter [wanderinglawyer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wanderinglawyer/) * (@wanderinglawyer) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/gallery-image-error/#post-3777691) * I’m not sure. I started building the site with the theme and would have to undo/ redo a lot of work if I tried to flip themes now. I was just hoping someone had run into this before. * [graphical_force](https://wordpress.org/support/users/graphical_force/) * (@graphical_force) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/gallery-image-error/#post-3777695) * Have you tried getting support from the author since that is a premium theme? If it is the theme, you should get an answer that way. * Thread Starter [wanderinglawyer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wanderinglawyer/) * (@wanderinglawyer) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/gallery-image-error/#post-3777699) * I did post up the question on that theme’s forum as well. But since I’m not sure which end the problem is coming from I figured I’d post here to see if it’s an issue other people have had before (and hopefully fixed). * [graphical_force](https://wordpress.org/support/users/graphical_force/) * (@graphical_force) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/gallery-image-error/#post-3777701) * To find someone who has that exact setup is a long shot. You either have to do some troubleshooting which I advised or wait to see what they say. I personally don’t know. * Thread Starter [wanderinglawyer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wanderinglawyer/) * (@wanderinglawyer) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/gallery-image-error/#post-3777704) * Thanks for taking a look though! I’ll leave the line in the water just in case. * [graphical_force](https://wordpress.org/support/users/graphical_force/) * (@graphical_force) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/gallery-image-error/#post-3777706) * I don’t know if you could test with this and find it helpful.

The fix is to go to the text view in my posts, and in the shortcode for the gallery add “link=file” (without quotation marks) for any gallery that throws back this particular problem. * Thanks again for the input Graphical_Force!
