 * Hi Aesqe
 * thanks for your help on previous posts. I’m using `echo file_gallery_shortcode`
   to get my gallery so I can change thumbnail size and template. I’d like it to
   tie into a lightbox but the ‘rel’ tag seems not to be written. I’ve read the 
   the default is ‘rel=>1’ but there is nothing outputted. Any ideas?
 * Big thanks. Mark.

 * After a bit of head scratching I managed to get what I need by altering my php
   template file. I took out the php that was wrapped around the rel value is now
   outputted permanently 🙂

 * [@raw-m](https://wordpress.org/support/users/raw-m/):
 * The rel attribute should be outputted by default, yes. Could you please paste
   the arguments you’ve used for the file_gallery_shortcode() function here so I
   can figure out what the problem is?
 * Thanks 🙂
