 * Hi there,
 * Thought I’d do the simple task of creating and editing a template for nextgen.
   I had assumed this would be similar to creating a page template, or nextgen custom
   css. I can find no documentation on this, even here:
 * [http://www.nextgen-gallery.com/nextgen-gallery-templates/](http://www.nextgen-gallery.com/nextgen-gallery-templates/)
 * Where ARE the templates in the nextgen plugin folder?
 * Can they be saved into the theme folder for editing (like most template able 
   plugins these days)?
 * Thanks in advance, I’ve spent hours trying to work this out.
 * Photocrati, if you are reading this, your info is over two years out of date 
   and looks like it was put together on a ‘Friday Afternoon’ (i.e. it is a bit 
   rubbish, sorry!).
 * For example:
 * [http://www.nextgen-gallery.com/templates/](http://www.nextgen-gallery.com/templates/)
 * Suggests to use: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/nextgen-3d-flux-slider-template/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/nextgen-3d-flux-slider-template/)
 * Which WP warns hasn’t been updated in over two years…
 * The other link about templates you have is:
 * [http://www.nextgen-gallery.com/nextgen-gallery-templates/](http://www.nextgen-gallery.com/nextgen-gallery-templates/)
 * Which is, for no reason at all, target _blank???
 * This page is hard to understand and again offers no real templating advice, or
   even very clear instruction for shortcakes (which won’t work in my case).
 * Could you please put some info up on how to make custom templates. The built 
   in ones don’t suit my purpose or semantic requirements – thanks.

 * [@blitz999](https://wordpress.org/support/users/blitz999/) – The NextGEN Gallery
   template system is a hold-over from the NextGEN Legacy versions of the plugin.
 * We do not really provide support for the creation of custom templates as is but
   do try to help sort out any issues with NextGEN Gallery functionality that does
   not work correctly when used in template.
 * Also, given that custom templates are … well, custom … it’s very hard to write
   generic tutorials and/or instruction sets for creating / modifying them.
 * If there is something specific you need help with we would be more than willing
   to review what you are trying to accomplish and within reason make any suggestions
   related to the code being used.
 * Thanks!
