 * What setting do I need to display the descriptions on the Gallery page? They 
   are not showing at all. Also, when I click a Gallery they all display as thumbnails
   and I would like them to start as a slideshow. What do I need to do? The website
   address is
    [http://www.stsophia.net/gallery](http://www.stsophia.net/gallery).
   Thanks.

 * [@goyapres](https://wordpress.org/support/users/goyapres/) – If you want to have
   the inserted display start as the Basic Slideshow then you will need to choose
   the Basic Slideshow as the display type for the inserted display.
 * As to showing descriptions, the Basic Slideshow does not offer this specifically
   although some of the bundled Lightbox Effects do show the image descriptions,
   unfortunately the Basic Slideshow is not ideal for use with the basic Lightbox
   Effects that are bundled with NextGEN Gallery as a convenience.
 * Thanks!
