 * Hi there
 * I’d like to use the thumbnail view to start with on a portfolio-page of illustratr(
   General settings: Template for Thumbnail Galleries: NextGEN: gallery-carousel.
   php) which works (besides the thumbnails not being centered) as expected. In 
   the settings when inserting the gallery into a page, there is a radiobutton “
   Show slideshow link” which I’ve set on “Yes”, and the “Slideshow link text” to“
   slideshow”. no template for slideshow available (NextGEN Basic ImageBrowser: 
   any – none works – suppose, this doesn’t matter anyway)
    Unfortunately, no link
   is shown. I’ve tried the same on WP with twentyfivteen, no other plugins activated,
   no customised styles.css – the same effect. Any ideas? Any help would be appreciated–
   to give the user the opportunity of a slideshow would be nice. Nggallery: 2.0.66.37
   [ THX a lot!

 * [@gelutz7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gelutz7/) – The “carousel” template
   does not have a display slideshow link functionality within its code. If you 
   want to add that into the template then you will need to create a custom template
   to add that functionality.
 * I would suggest creating a copy of the carousel template, and then look at the“
   captions” template for references to display the slideshow link.
 * This Gist will work [https://gist.github.com/Cais/317cf398b4618000127b](https://gist.github.com/Cais/317cf398b4618000127b)…
   feel free to use it as a base although I have not tested it extensively (just
   put it together as I was writing this response).
 * Thanks!
