sterndata on "Inserting a link in a photo"

I am attempting to use a photo I have uploaded as a link. I know I have done it before but now when I click the picture a blank light box opens.
Here is what I see if I edit it in Visual.

Here is the post.

I see this error in the console. The blogspot site is not allowing you to open an image hosted there on your site.

XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://passionforthepast.blogspot.com/2013/07/faces-of-history-original-photographs.html?random=1464562795659. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://www.bilfer49.com' is therefore not allowed access.

It's called hot-link blocking.

That is a little beyond my ken. Is that a setting in WP or my host. BTW it also happens if I use any other image or url.

what that error is saying is that blogspot won't let you link to that image from your site. It's not a WordPress problem.

OK. Now I understand what you are saying. But I just attempted to use a photo I took to link to one of my pages and I get an error. WP attempts to open a lightbox window. The console shows "Synchronous XMLHttpRequest on the main thread is deprecated because of its detrimental effects to the end user's experience. For more help http://xhr.spec.whatwg.org/".

The code inserted is [caption id="attachment_1901" align="alignleft" width="4320"]<img class="wp-image-1901 size-full" src="http://www.bilfer49.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/Ambulance897.jpg" alt="Ambulance 897" width="4320" height="2432" /> My ride[/caption]
Is there an error in what WP inserted?

What lightbox plugin are you using?

I am not using a plug-in. The code that WP inserted did not copy correctly. It left the link out.

a lightbox is not default WordPress behavior, so you must be using a plugin or the lightbox is built into your theme.

It appears you have one called "photo-gallery", perhaps this one:

Is it up to date? The current version is 1.2.105

Yes you are correct. i use photo gallery and I guess their lightbox.
And before I forget. Thank you for your help. It's Memorial day. Go to a picnic or something!!

Disable the plugin. If the problem goes away, then post something here:

We've got a couple of nice bone-in ribeyes to put on the grill later today. :-)
