    Hi, can you please help me in this situation? It took me more time than i thought.
    Basically, i created a page template that retrieves images (attachment) as posts by specific category. And everything works fine, except one. I can’t group those images, i have googled many times to find solution, even with shortcode. But nothing works. That’s why i can’t choose “Next” or “Previous” when lightbox appears. Each piece has different slb ID. I hope you could help me. Thank you!

    <?php
 * Template Name: Testy
get_header();
?>
<div id="primary" class="content-area">
  <main id="main" class="site-main" role="main">
    <?php
      $attachments = array(
      'post_type' => 'attachment',
      'post_status' => array('publish', 'inherit'),
      'category_name'    => 'sagitt',
      'numberposts' => -1,
      'posts_per_page' => 10,
      'paged' => $paged,
      );
      query_posts($attachments);
    ?>
    <div class="gallery">
      <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
        <figure class="gallery-item">
          <?php the_content(); ?>
        </figure>
      <?php endwhile ?>
    </div>
  </main><!-- .site-main -->
</div><!-- .content-area -->
<?php get_footer(); ?>

    Hi, when you use the_post() to load and output each attachment, SLB’s “Group items by Post” setting will put each attachment in a separate group. Unchecking this option in SLB’s settings will allow all items be grouped together.

    Another option is to build a [gallery] shortcode for the attachments and then activate the shortcode using do_shortcode() & slb_activate() like so:

    // Build gallery...
$gallery = '[gallery ids={ids here}]';

// Generate code from shortcode
$gallery = do_shortcode($gallery);

// Activate and output links in gallery
echo slb_activate($gallery);

    You can even define your own specific group for the gallery:

    // Activate and output links in gallery
echo slb_activate($gallery, 'my-special-group');

    One of the main benefits of doing things this way is that SLB is only called once to activate links, rather than separately for each attachment, as when a post loop is used.

    Whoa, it indeed works now! Just uncheck that option, very easy trick, i must find out from the beginning. Thank you very much! Have a good day!
