They are located here by default: `/products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/ngglegacy/view` * … and to display the image filename you will need to create a custom template as no currently included NextGEN Legacy template displays that detail by default. * Thanks! * – Cais. * Thread Starter [ProfC](https://wordpress.org/support/users/profc/) * (@profc) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-a-valid-template-7/#post-5080663) * I checked the direcotory and everything’s fine, I can see all php template file.

Is there a template for that or an option to activate? * Plugin Contributor [photocrati](https://wordpress.org/support/users/photocrati/) * (@photocrati) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-a-valid-template-7/#post-5080745) * [@profc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/profc/) – The templates you are referring to are for the NextGEN Basic Thumbnails display. * The “caption” template would display the image description beneath the thumbnail. * The “carousel” template would create a display with a large main image and the balance of the thumbnails as smaller images beneath the main; these images are clickable to display as the main image. * To put the title under the image I would suggest a custom modified copy of the“ caption” template as the place to start. * Thanks! * – Cais. * Thread Starter [ProfC](https://wordpress.org/support/users/profc/) * (@profc) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-a-valid-template-7/#post-5080753) * “caption” template would be perfect for me since I could put a short description of the Thumbnail on my press page.The problem is that I cannot use it: if I select gallery-caption.php from customize the display settings in IGW settings menu I get not valide template message on the web page. * I need help to fix this problem.
