 * I am trying to link to a lightbox gallery from a single image/button/anchor tag.
   I don’t want a grid/gallery/carousel/slider/thumbnail – just a simple link that
   triggers the gallery to open in lightbox.

 * [@technical-concierge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/technical-concierge/)–
   This shortcode will display an image that will open a Lightbox of all the images
   in the gallery: `[ngg_images gallery_ids=1 display_type=photocrati-nextgen_basic_thumbnails
   disable_pagination=1 images_per_page=1 show_all_in_lightbox=1]`
 * See if that gets you further along with your idea.
 * Thanks!
