# Eliminating title display

 * Hi, I’m using NetGEN 2.1.23 with WP 4.4.2. All I am looking for is a way to not
   display the title of the photo in the gallery display. If I manually eliminate
   the title in Manage Galleries, it pops right back in when I save the change. 
   Older advice on changing the CSS doesn’t work because I can’t find a .css file
   in the new version. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

 * [@meestor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/meestor/) – The image title does
   not appear by default in basic thumbnail displays, are you using a custom template
   for your displays?
 * As to style, you can add custom CSS under Gallery > Other Options > Style … which
   will write to the `nggallery.css` file found here: ../wp-content/ngg_styles/nggallery.

   🙂 Thanks for your reply. I’ve read that not showing titles is the default, but
   for some reason, this is not the case on my installation. Thanks for the tip 
   re. the Other Options feature. The /ngg_styles directory didn’t exist on my site
   until I created it by saving a custom style sheet via Other Options. Re-installation
   might be something I should consider.

   issues we would need to see the image gallery first hand on your site to make
   any further suggestions.

 * Hi Photocrati and ‘meestor’
 * Same problem here.
 * I recently updated my NExtGen to the newest version (at the same time with updating
   my WordPress to the newest version) and since then my albums and galleries also
   show the title on the page. Before the update this was not the case.
 * If I look at the text-version of the page on which the gallery/album is displayed,
   I just see the shortcode to that Gallery or Album.
 * Does this help to figure out what is causing this problem?
 * I do not use any custom display for the galleries. Is there any way to remove
   or hide the title?
 * Thanks, Leonie
 * PS If you want me to start a new topic, just let me know. I thought it might 
   be usefull to post it here.

 * [@leoatoa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/leoatoa/) – Please start your 
   own topic so we can try to help you with your specific issue on your specific
   site. Although sometimes things look like the same issue they might not be caused
   by the same problem.

 * Hi Leonie
 * Just thought I’d mention that there are other threads about this problem which
   suggest the css route. Photocrati outlined a process that does work but the trick
   is finding the right class/id to edit. If someone had some free time to publish
   the css that would accomplish this, they’d be a hero to hundreds on this forum!
   🙂

 * @ Cais and ‘Meestor’ : Thanks for your help. Will look for the CSS thread and-
   if that does not solve the problem- open a new thread.
 * Good luck!

 * [@meestor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/meestor/) – A link to the specific
   gallery you are wanting to work (start?) with would be helpful, especially if
   there is some custom CSS needed/wanted … sometimes a theme might be introducing
   some requirement for certain specificity in the CSS.
