 * I am running the latest version of WP and NGG 2.0.4
 * Can anyone give any pointers on displaying gallery descriptions on the gallery
   thumbnails page. I cannot find any internal options and finding conflicting coding
   info.
 * Any help would be appreciated.

   the “caption” template with Basic Thumbnails?

 * I will give it a go.
 * Is there a specific piece of PHP code which will show the gallery description
   we could test also?
 * Thanks

 * We have also used the following which will not display the description. This 
   was tried with caption template enabled.
 * <div class=”projectinfo”><?php echo $gallery->description ?>
    </div>

 * I just tested your code snippet (by temporarily adding it to my default captions
   template) and it is working fine for me.
 * Did you create a new custom template for this, or did you modify the existing
   captions template?

 * We are still not getting anywhere with this unfortunately and not sure what is
   causing the problem.
 * Could you possible offer paid help to fix this or point me to a contact?
 * Thanks

 * [@eight-media](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eight-media/) – We could start
   with you submitting a Bug Report ([http://www.nextgen-gallery.com/report-bug/](http://www.nextgen-gallery.com/report-bug/)…
   please reference this topic) just in case. We will need log in and FTP credentials
   for your WordPress installation as well, please include those with the Bug Report.
 * As to “paid” help with custom templates, no, that is not part of our current 
   Support services but there are many service providers in the marketplace that
   may be able to help with that as well. We can discuss that option via the Bug
   Report, too.
 * Thanks!
