    Hi there, hoping someone can help.

    I am in the process of setting up a Photography page on my site.

    I have 4 galleries to start with:

    1. USA
    2. Canada
    3. Rome
    4. UK

    I have set up two Albums

    A. Americas (added gallery 1 and 2)
    B. Europe (added gallery 3 and 4)

    On the photography page, I have inserted the two albums. All it seems to do when I view the page though is just display the 4 galleries. There is no mention of Albums.

    Ideally, on the photography page, I would like a thumbnail album for the Americas. When clicked on it would show the 2 Americas Galleries. I would also like the same for Europe.

    Is this possible?

    Thanks in advance
    Richard

  • There are two formats for showing albums on the page – basic and extended. I use extended and it shows one row per gallery in the album with a title and an indicative image (chosen during gallery management). Clicking on a gallery shows that gallery (not multiple galleries) in your chosen format eg, basic thumbnails.

    Thanks for the reply, I have changed to extended, but it still doesn’t do what I am looking for.

    I need the page the Albums are on to show just albums.

    So, Page 1 = Album 1, Album 2,

    Click on Album 1, and you get Gallery A, Gallery B
    Click on Album 2, and you get Gallery C, Gallery D

    At the moment, on Page 1, it just shows

    Gallery A, Gallery B, Gallery C, Gallery D

    There is no mention of the Albums these galleries are in.

    Am I missing something?

    Thanks

    Hi @richchubb,

    I would be glad to help.
    You will actually need to use 2 album layers for your construction instead of just Album + Gallery.

    You will need to create parent albums and add the actual albums to those in order to achieve the needed result

    Hope this helps,

    Hi Mihai, thanks for the reply
    I still cannot get it to work.

    I have a Parent Album called “North America”

    Inside the Album I have 2 other albums called Canada and USA

    Inside these albums are one gallery in each, but it doesn’t show the parent album.

    See https://snapsandstories.com/photography/

    Please help.

    Thanks

    Hi @richchubb,

    Have you tried to create a container album called “photos” for example that will contain the “Americas” and “Europe” album?
    Try that, remove any NextGen Gallery Place holder and re-insert your album display, use only the “photos” or main container album.

    Please let us know if that worked for you.
