Wordpress automatically adds links to uploaded images

Question

Wordpress automatically adds the link to every image I upload within Media. And then I can’t find a way to remove it. How can I upload images without links or just remove it? There is just no option to choose whether to upload with link or without. I tried many plugins for that but none seems to be working. This happens when I use uploaded images in default Gallery widget by Wordpress. I also tried this code, but nothing. Code:

add_filter( 'the_content', 'attachment_image_link_remove_filter' );
function attachment_image_link_remove_filter( $content ) {
$content =
preg_replace(
array('{<a(.*?)(wp-att|wp-content\/uploads)[^>]*><img}',
'{ wp-image-[0-9]*" /></a>}'),
array('<img','" />'),
$content
);
return $content;
}

You adjust that when you insert the image into the post, not when you upload it.

When you upload the image, you will be looking at it on the Media Library page. On the right hand side is a column that says "ATTACHMENT DETAILS". Scroll down on that, and look for "ATTACHMENT DISPLAY SETTINGS".

The field you're looking for is called "Link To" and you want to set it to be "None" before you click the "Insert into Post" button.
