# Simple Request??

 * There are so many options available for the Basic Next Gen Gallery – however 
   I can’t seem to figure out how to make what seems like a simple application work
   and I am unsure if it is a)not possible, or b)I just can’t figure out how to 
   do it????
 * All I want to do is have the thumbnail that represents the gallery shown on the
   page and when you click on the thumbnail the thickbox or any of the lightboxes
   popup and then the user can scroll through the entire gallery within the lightbox.
   I’ve tried so many different configurations and it seems like the only way to
   do this is to put all of the thumbnails that I want to display in the lightbox
   on the page, which is really quite klunky for this particular site.
 * Is this not possible? – it seems so simple?
 * Any help greatly appreciated…

 * [@computersimple](https://wordpress.org/support/users/computersimple/), it has
   never been possible to upload the gallery from a single image. In the years, 
   the easiest solution I’ve ever seen is this [here](http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/16800/load-entire-nextgen-gallery-from-single-thumbnail),
   last post.
 * P.S.: Please, next time use an appropriate title for your topic.

 * [@computersimple](https://wordpress.org/support/users/computersimple/) – Another
   option is to use a shortcode like this:
    `[ngg_images gallery_ids=1 display_type
   =photocrati-nextgen_basic_thumbnails disable_pagination=1 images_per_page=1]`
 * – Cais.
