How Do I Make an Image Clickable to Open in a New Tab in Full Size on my blog post?
Answer
If you want to allow visitors to click on an image in your blog post and view it in a larger format, follow these steps:
For OUR.DMU.AC.UK users (based on the Wordpress platform)
- Insert the Image: Click the + button and add an Image Block to your post.
- Upload or Select an Image: Choose an image from your Media Library or upload a new one.
- Then:
- Click on the image to reveal the toolbar.
- Select the Link icon (🔗).
- From the dropdown, choose Link to Image File (this links the image to its full-size version).
- Set to Open in a New Tab:
- Click on the drop-down arrow next to see options for the Link Setting and click on Open in New Tab to enable it.
- Click to Save (or Draft Save) your post.
Now, when visitors click on the image, it will open in a new tab in full size.
