Hmm... maybe this has something to do with the new permalinks for (uploaded) media.
Last evening, I posted a message about the new gallery and the permalink structure. Unfortunately, the message wasn't deliverd. -------------------------------- I tried to create an image gallery today. Uploading the images, inserting the [gallery] into the post, etc. My first impression was: fast, easy to use, great new feature. But then, when I looked at the new gallery (thumbnails were displayed correctly), I had to realize that the (perma)links to the images are broken. Clicking on an image returned an 404 Not Found error message. <a href='http://localhost/wordpress/uncategorized/test-gallery/garden001/' title='garden001'><img src="http://localhost/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/garden001-150x150 .jpg" width="150" height="150" class="attachment-thumbnail" /></a> After deactivating all plug-ins, the error persisted. Therefore, I thought that it could have something to do with the permalink structure. So I changed my "pretty" customized permalinks from /%category%/%postname%/ to the "ugly" version /?p=123. The result proved me right. The gallery was working fine with the "ugly" permalink structure: <a href='http://localhost/wordpress/?attachment_id=280' title='garden001'><img src="http://localhost/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/garden001-150x150 .jpg" width="150" height="150" class="attachment-thumbnail" /></a> Any ideas why the "pretty" permalinks do not work? The images are uploaded into /wp-content/uploads/YEAR/MONTH. -------------------------------- So, do I have to put my permalink structure "/%category%/%postname%/" into the Settings->Miscellaneous->"Full URL path to files" field to make the gallery work correctly? > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:wp-testers- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael E.
