 * I have Lightbox selected under Settings/Effects and unless there’s anything else
   I need to do to activate this feature, it’s not working.
 * Also, my thumbnails do appear in columns, but all the columns line up under each
   other. Is there a way to have those columns in a ROW?
 * I’m working with a theme made from scratch, so it could be just me.

 * You can use a plugin to display the lightbox (like Simple lightbox).
 * If it is your theme that is causing the rows and columns problem then switch 
   to the default WordPress theme (2014).

 * Unfortunately, since this is my exam work, switching themes is not really possible.
 * Also, I installed Simple Lightbox, NOW WHAT. I have absolutely no idea what to
   do.

 * Hi OKami_hu,
    In settings -> Gallery you can select images per page and also 
   number of columns.
 * If that is not working , it is likely the theme has some restrictions causing
   the one-column effect.

 * Hello,
 * I had the same problem, all thumbnails appeared under each other instead of in
   a row as usually. I reinstalled 1.9.15 and now it works again. So it seems to
   me that this problem is caused by the update.

 * I switched to Twenty Fourteen to check if it works at all, and the column problem
   was still present. Lighbox worked though so at least that is my fault.

 * Did you reinstall the version that you have?
