Interesting. With the DCG 3.3.5 version, my images are not clicking to the post/page permalink. They are going to random links included in my description. I've set it up to use the DCG Metabox, using Full URL for the photos and entering Manual Descriptions. The External Link for Images box is blank which, according to the instructions, I'm to leave blank to have it link to the Post/Page. Any suggestions?
UPDATE: I discovered that when I attach the Full URL for the image to be displayed, that it's not attaching to the post, even though I've updated and refreshed several times. I went back and manually attached the image to the post in Wordpress and thought that would fix it. It hasn't. I also tried deleting the Full URL, saving the post and then putting the Full URL back in again. Still the same problem. The image isn't linking to the post. It's linking to one of my links in the description. Puzzled.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Ade,
Well, I was mucking around and found that the only time the images linked to the post was when I changed the link to the first linked item in the descriptions. I tried putting the link to the post in the External Link for Image. That didn't work. Neither did leaving it blank. It would be ideal if the photo linked to the post automatically to save us steps and time. I'll change those links back so you can see the problem.
Thanks for checking into this.

Hi,
What do you mean, exactly? The image link is created automatically, you shouldn't have to change anything. (Perhaps I don't understood what you mean by the above phrase.)
What settings do you have for the Galley Method and Descriptions?

I know this is weird. For some reason, the link from my image to the post URL is NOT being created automatically. The link it is using is the first linked item in the Description in the slide pane. (On slide for Brent Thomson, the first link in the description is her name. That is linked to her website, and that's where the image goes to! Same for Keli Goff and Marcia Clark). It's puzzling to me. I've set the links back (without doing the workaround) so you can see the problem. Thanks so much for troubleshooting.
My settings:
Image Management: full URL
Carousel Thumbnails: post-thumbnails
Gallery Method: multi-option | Default Images folder is: http://www.thewomenseye.dreamhosters.com/wp-content/uploads/
Descriptions: manual
Javascript Options: jquery
Load Scripts: Home Page
