    @missfinan – Thanks for the link and the screenshot, they are both helpful.

    First off, here is a link to some useful information about custom templates: http://www.nextgen-gallery.com/templates/

    You would be looking to add something along these lines to your custom template: <?php echo $gallery->title; ?>

    As to the grey color, that would be more theme related and likely require some Custom CSS or possibly some other issue at hand.

    The grey bar is being shown due to <code></code> tags in their place; and, the grey box around the gallery is again due to the same tags. Once you sort out what is writing or how the <code> tags are being added to your content then you should be able to quickly sort out how to not have them used.

    Thanks!

    – Cais.

    @photocrati, thanks for your prompt response. First – I can’t find the NexGen CSS file. Is it something I navigate to through the CMS or via url?
    I need to see the existing CSS to know what to change. (I’m a novice CSS coder that needs existing code to edit).

    And secondly, I’ve read the instruction on templates and I can’t figure out how to “upload the template file” in my theme folder. I see a place where I can edit my current theme, but not upload. Here’s a screenshot – http://screencast.com/t/Y793lDC3

    While I’m no web master, I’m tech savvy enough to follow directions and figure it out, but I’m pretty stumped here.

    Any instructions/advice is greatly appreciated.

    @missfinan, that grey line is not given by NGG but from your theme, at line 47 in /wp-content/themes/organic_nonprofit/style.css.
    I think it’s a premium theme, so you have to ask support to the vendors if you are not able to modify CSS by yourself.

    For custom template, you have to upload it via FTP in your theme directory.

    @tizz, thanks I’ve managed to remove the gray bar. There was some code called that I discovered when examining the html (I used Inspector, a plug-in that I’d thought was lost b/c I recently reset Firefox, but turns out I still had). here’s a screenshot of that – http://screencast.com/t/jFCJlKAmyo And I saw that it was related to line 47 in the CSS like you said.

    I deleted the code, So now the gray box is gone!!!

    As for the template – I will use FileZilla to add the file to the .ftp (should I go that route).

    I see that there are lot’s of NexGen plugins. Are there any out there that will add the title of the albums and galleries? I’m surprised that NexGen doesn’t slready do this. Why not @photocrati?

    Also, I’ve since created an album, and while the album lists the galleries, I’d like the Album title to show. And also once I click in and view a gallery, there’s no mention of the gallery title anywhere, nor any breadcrumbs, which would be helpful for the person to navigate through albums. Are there plugins for this?

    I’m willing to buy NextGen Pro if this solves my issues.

    Thanks everyone!!
