# Album Lightbox

 * Hi,
 * I have an album of about 10 galleries on my site and I would like to have the
   images open up as a lightbox when clicked on. Currently it redirects to the individual
   gallery page which is terrible for user experience as they have to keep going
   back to load the full album and then select the gallery to be viewed again.
 * I would like to have the images open up directly as a lightbox. Can you please
   assist with this?
 * Found some solutions online but none seems to be working as of now:

 * Would greatly appreciate the help.
 * Kind regards

 * I am also trying to add my own css styling to override a default. The default
   is currently set to;
 * .ngg-album-compact {
    float: left; padding: 0 12px 4px 0 !important; margin: 
   0px !important; text-align: left; }
 * I simply want to reduce the right padding so 5 items can show on my page at once
   instead of 4 now. I have changed it to the code below using various methods
 * .ngg-album-compact {
    padding: 0 7px 4px 0 !important; }
 * using the nggallery.css method, add the css code in customiser additional css,
   adding the css to my page directly. None seem to work please.
 * Please help.
 * Thanks

 * Hello [@temak](https://wordpress.org/support/users/temak/),
 * This particular behavior is available in our Pro or Plus plugin.
 * Unfortunately, WordPress.org doesn’t allow us to address pro support questions
   here in the free forum. Please, address any sales question to our contact form:
   [https://www.imagely.com/contact/](https://www.imagely.com/contact/). Use the
   option “Pre-Sales”. We’ll proceed to close this ticket.

 * Hi,
 * Thank you for the response. I really only need this singular feature for this
   site which is why i’m trying not to opt for the pro version as all the other 
   features it has are not required.
 * Could you please explain how to go about the css tho? The option is available
   in the free option but doesnt seem to work.
 * Would appreciate your help.
 * Kind regards

 * The feature to open galleries from Album constructions directly in Pro Lightbox
   is available in Pro and Plus only since Pro Lightbox is the only lightbox effect
   that can be used in this case and it isn’t available in NextGen Gallery ( free).
 * This isn’t something achievable using a custom CSS solution.

 * Hi [@mihaiimagely](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mihaiimagely/),
 * Thank you for the response. I already responded to this when [@gabyimagely](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gabyimagely/)
   replied the other day. The CSS option is available in the free version but when
   I put any code in here, it does not work. Anything I can do about that please?
 * Thanks
