When you add an image or gallery to a WordPress post, it often automatically resizes the image(s) to fit the screen. However, there are ways to display your images in their full size when clicked. The steps to make your WordPress images expandable on click are simple. In this post, I will walk you through the steps to make your photos expandable on click.
To make an image expandable in your WordPress post, follow these steps:
- Open your post to edit it or create a new one.
- Add your photos to the post.
- Click on the image you want to make expandable. This will bring up a toolbar with various options (shown in the below figure).

- In the toolbar, click on the link icon and then select “Expand on Click” from the popup options.
- Once set, the image will display in its full size when clicked.
This will allow users to click on the image and view it in its full size.
