 * If you click on the post image on the home page, it brings up that image. How
   could it be edited to take you to the post that the image is from?

 * You can edit link of image or leave empty by editing single post. this is actually
   image link so it is displaying as it is.

 * Okay, but many themes automatically have the image link to the post. I really
   don’t want to edit hundreds of post individually… So, is there an automated way
   to do that?

 * You have to manually edit link of image. because these are added by you. these
   are not post thumbnail.
 * Alternatively you can use light box plugins so when user will click on image,
   it will display in pop up box instead link of image. like: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-lightbox/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-lightbox/)

 * The theme we had before (three days ago) would automatically take you from the
   excerpt image to the post. There must be a way of doing that automatically.

 * SEOPress theme use the_excerpt() function for loop pages. the_excerpt() function
   automatically exclude post images.i do not know, why it is not excluding post
   image for you. Please ask on WordPress support because this is not theme side
   issue. also we have texted this issue on our local server and image do not display
   on loop pages.

 * WordPress support had this to say:
 * “the code in your theme is not doing what you want. You can either modify the
   code or ask the author to correct it (or both).”
