Seems to be working now 🤔. Perhaps it was a Flickr issue where the newly updated/changed tags take some time to permeate into the meta data (despite being visible in the UI)? * I dunno, everything is working as expected now.

I’ve noticed that if I don’t have any Photonic shortcode on the page, individually linked `img` links do not open automatically in the Lightbox view, while `img` links on pages which also have Photonic gallery shortcode * do* open in the Lightbox view. This is true even if thumbs from the Photonic gallery display are never clicked, i.e., Lightbox is never initialed from the Photonic gallery thumbs. * Examples: (pass = cars) Page with no gallery shortcode: [http://bartkowalski.com/2019/03/single-image-test-without-gallery/](http://bartkowalski.com/2019/03/single-image-test-without-gallery/) * Page with gallery shortcode: [http://bartkowalski.com/2019/03/single-image-test-w-gallery/](http://bartkowalski.com/2019/03/single-image-test-w-gallery/) * Is this expected behaviour? I’m not sure if this is out of your support scope, given I’m asking about pages specifically WITHOUT Photonic code. If this is the case, please let me know. * Cheers Bart * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Photonic Gallery & Lightbox for Flickr, SmugMug & Others] Options for (Flickr) single image display in LightGallery](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/options-for-flickr-single-image-display-in-lightgallery/) * Thread Starter [bkpr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bkpr/) * (@bkpr) * [7 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/options-for-flickr-single-image-display-in-lightgallery/#post-11237574) * Thanks again for your thoughts. I think at this stage I’ll just have the individual images open on their own, and leave the gallery separate. This could even be a better user experience than launching the full gallery when someone expects to look at a single image in larger form. For small sets of a few photos, I’ll use the `rel=“group1”` approach to link them, although this wasn’t working with LightGallery in my quick test yesterday, but it’s likely I didn’t write to code correctly. * Thanks again for your help. I’ve thrown you a few bucks for maintaining such a high quality plugin and being super quick on support 😊 * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Photonic Gallery & Lightbox for Flickr, SmugMug & Others] Options for (Flickr) single image display in LightGallery](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/options-for-flickr-single-image-display-in-lightgallery/) * Thread Starter [bkpr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bkpr/) * (@bkpr) * [7 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/options-for-flickr-single-image-display-in-lightgallery/#post-11235303) * Yes, I understand. Fortunately for me I do not have a page with full-length posts. The only place the deep-linking gallery situation will happen is on a single post. * Unfortunately there’s a glitch with the deep-linking: the deep-linked image doesn’t seem to trigger the lightbox. It will only open in the lightbox after one of the gallery thumbs (below the text) has launched the lightbox first. See this new public page where I have it all setup: [http://bartkowalski.com/2019/02/the-2019-goose/](http://bartkowalski.com/2019/02/the-2019-goose/) * Without resorting to becoming my personal website troubleshooter, if you have any ideas as to why this might be happening I’d love to hear them.

To be clear, when you say works best on “pages”, do you mean a single blog post, an example in my case: [http://bartkowalski.com/2018/08/hiking-machu-picchu-peru/](http://bartkowalski.com/2018/08/hiking-machu-picchu-peru/) or a page like [http://www.example.com/contact](http://www.example.com/contact) * I’m clarifying because a “post” and a “page” seem to have different interpretations, at least for me. * Update: the deep linking works well, although it’s a fairly manual process.

I’ll give that a go, thanks 🙂 * With relation to the no. 3 point, I don;’t think the cover image will be appropriate; what I’m ultimately trying to do is have large single images displayed throughout the text of a blog post, with a full gallery displayed at the bottom.

Also, `.post-contents` has a max-width of 665px while looking at a full width browser window.
