# Slideshow Not Functioning

 * After installing this theme, my slideshows stopped working. Like always, for 
   my latest post, I clicked the “media” link, then selected “create gallery.” I
   selected my photos, but when I selected “Type: Slideshow,” my photos appeared
   in a grid, and clicking on them did nothing. When I selected “Type: Thumbnail
   Grid,” they also appeared in a grid. I could click on them, but that wouldn’t
   take me to a slideshow. It would just take me to their attachment page. I also
   tried selecting gallery format, which didn’t seem to change anything, and toggling
   the Jetpack carousel feature on and off. Am I missing some setting? Please help…
   I really like this theme, but being able to easily post photo slideshows is important
   to me, so I need to be able to do so. Thank you.

 * You will need to add a plugin to make your images load in a lightbox instead 
   of the attachment page. Anything related to jetpack should be posted in their
   forums. I don’t offer support for plugins.

 * Thank you…your reply was actually very helpful. I installed “Simple Lightbox,”
   and my problem seems to be solved.
