 * I’m new to wordpress, so please excuse my lack of knowledge.
 * I have a nextgen gallery in which I need to exclude certain specific thumbnails
   from the page, but still have those images show up in the lightbox. So ideally
   you don’t see the thumbnail when the page loads, but as you are clicking through
   those images show up in the lightbox, even though they are hidden on the page.
 * Thanks so much in advance!

 * [@jamesamoeba](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jamesamoeba/) – You may be
   able to use some custom CSS trickery to specifically hide the images from being
   displayed on the page but this should not affect them being included in the Lightbox
   Effects displaying the gallery.
 * The CSS could be dependent on the theme but it should be possible with most any
   theme that follows current WordPress Best Practices.
 * Thanks!
