 * Hi, I have created a custom theme and saved it to wp-content/plugins/nextgen-
   gallery/view/
 * Looks like the last update deleted this theme.
 * Where can I save my custom template to ensure it is not lost on an update?
 * Thanks

 * Hi [@sprocker](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sprocker/)!
 * In order to keep your custom templates safe for updates, you’ll need to store
   them under /wp-content/ngg_styles directory on your server.
 * I hope this helps! 🙂

 * Thanks, but when I put my galleryxxx.php file in that location the website is
   no longer showing the gallery – it states [Not a valid template].
 * All I am trying to achieve is showing the title of the image along with the thumbnail–
   is there an easier way to do this other than editing the gallery.php file?
 * Thanks
