Which lightbox or slideshow are you using with NextGEN? They all have different settings and some are supposed to close when you click on the image and do not display a next or previous link.
I havent installed any additional lightbox or slideshow plugin. Its only the NextGen. Here is a link to the page where i am using NextGen

If you look at NextGEN-> Options-> Effects, you will see multiple choices in the drop down menu. That is why I asked. There are choices.
You are using Shutter. Shutter closes when you click on the picture. You go from picture to picture by using the navigation arrows under the picture.
You might want to set it to Lightbox and then use one of the many lightbox plugins for WordPress. “Simple Lightbox” plays nicely with all other plugins. “Lightbox Plus” is also a favorite.
Try one of those.
Thanks for your help.
The issue is resolved. You are right, i was using ‘shutter’ effect.
For anyone who faces the same issue in future:
You just need to install a light box plugin and select ‘Lightbox’ from NextGEN-> Options-> Effectt drop-down.
and dont forget to say thanks to ldaniels
Hey guys, GREAT info here. At first I tried with the “Simple Lightbox” plugin. Oddly enough, I had to set “none” in the Effects section of the NextGen plugin for Simple Lightbox to work.
Anyway, it worked correctly except for one thing: the text in the description of each image was being shown as plain text, so the tag I had there was not working.
I then tried the other plugin you mentioned, Lightbox Plus. With this one I did have to set “lightbox” as the Effect and the HTML code entered in the description of each image rendered correctly.
Thank you!
PS: feel free to check the results here (it’s in Spanish): http://www.ArteDePalermo.com.ar/
Part of the text in my response looks clickable because I mentioned a “< a >” tag. Sorry about that.
Hi Alex,
there is a little bug in the xmlrpc.php that is not fixed in the latest version 1.8.
On line 114 (e.g.) the bits should be base64_decoded:
114 $bits = base64_decode($data['bits']);
Thanx for fixing in the next version.
