不幸的是，没有法律手段来控制它。但有一种肮脏的方式。。。如果选择此路线，则需要：

克隆标准gallery_shortcode 函数为添加默认值$attr[\'link\'] 选项将克隆的函数挂钩到post_gallery 筛选最终结果如下所示：

add_filter( \'post_gallery\', \'wpse8170_gallery_shortcode\', 10, 2 );
function wpse8170_gallery_shortcode( $output, $attr ) {
    $post = get_post();

    static $instance = 0;
    $instance++;

    // override default link settings
    if ( empty(  $attr[\'link\'] ) ) {
        $attr[\'link\'] = \'none\'; // set your default value here
    }

    if ( !empty( $attr[\'ids\'] ) ) {
        // \'ids\' is explicitly ordered, unless you specify otherwise.
        if ( empty( $attr[\'orderby\'] ) )
            $attr[\'orderby\'] = \'post__in\';
        $attr[\'include\'] = $attr[\'ids\'];
    }

    // We\'re trusting author input, so let\'s at least make sure it looks like a valid orderby statement
    if ( isset( $attr[\'orderby\'] ) ) {
        $attr[\'orderby\'] = sanitize_sql_orderby( $attr[\'orderby\'] );
        if ( !$attr[\'orderby\'] )
            unset( $attr[\'orderby\'] );
    }

    extract(shortcode_atts(array(
        \'order\'      => \'ASC\',
        \'orderby\'    => \'menu_order ID\',

        \'exclude\'    => \'\'
