Instead of linking a featured image to a post permalink in a loop – here is how you can link to its original image of itself.
So above, the title and featured image is output of a post – the title has a link to the post whilst the image is linked to itself via the $large_image_url which uses the first value in the array [0] which is the src value.
Further more a lightbox CSS class name can be triggered so a bunch of featured images can be viewed in an archive loop page without going to the single post page
Thanks for sharing. Could you please elaborate on the last paragraph a little bit ? Thanks, “Further more a lightbox CSS class name can be triggered so a bunch of featured images can be viewed in an archive loop page without going to the single post page”
Here’s an example http://dev.tovo2.websitelove.net/lights/ so it’s a loop of lights, the headline links to the light post but the featured image opens in a lightbox which has prev/next and keeps the user on the archive page.
