 * So far so good and the filter system is working.
 * I have 60 images to show.
 * But I want to only show 9 images initially – these open in a lightbox, as I want
 * However I cannot then click through all 60 images – only the 9 that are initially
   showing.
 * Is there a setting that will allow all images to be viewed 
   Ultimately – I’m 
   looking to achieve the image gallery like AirBnB – where only a few images are
   shown, then you click to see all of the images as a Lightbox.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fea-filterable-gallery-4%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@thinkmarshstudio](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thinkmarshstudio/),
 * Thanks for flagging this — and to be upfront, there’s currently no built-in setting
   that does what you’re asking for. The “Items to show” option doesn’t just control
   what’s visible, it controls how many images actually get placed on the page, 
   and the lightbox can only page through what’s already there. That’s why you’re
   stopping at 9.
 * That said, I had a go at building something along the lines of what you described,
   and I think it does the job. Here’s a quick recording: [https://d.pr/v/ctiCK8](https://d.pr/v/ctiCK8)
 * Your grid still shows the initial 9 images you’ve set, and Load More still works
   exactly as it does now, pulling in the next batch each time you click. Nothing
   changes there.
 * The difference is the lightbox. Open any image and it now knows about all 60 
   from the start — the counter reads “1 of 60” straight away, and you can keep 
   clicking past the 9th into the 10th, 11th and onwards, right through to the end,
   with no pause when you cross that boundary. Behind the scenes the grid quietly
   keeps loading in step with you, so when you close the lightbox the page has caught
   up to wherever you got to.
 * Filtering carries on working the same way — pick a category and the lightbox 
   limits itself to just that category’s images.
 * Does that look like what you had in mind? Feel free to let me know. 🙂
   Thank 
   you!
