Hello @tdmarsol,
The Advanced Galleries should show separate lightboxes. I do see an update in v3.1.14 that updated the lightboxes that had the behavior you described. Unfortunately, I don’t have a workaround at the moment to show multiple galleries in a single lightbox.
The usage is that I am adding multiple galleries on the same page to adjust the image sizes displayed. Rather than a random/mosaic tile gallery, it allows me to make some images larger than others–but, I get to select which image. For example:
- I will lead with a gallery that contains a single, large-sized image.
- The next block is another gallery, but it contains three medium-sized images that displays at the same width as the previous gallery with the single image.
- The following block will be another gallery that displays 2 images that fills the same width of the gallery.
- I repeat these 1, 2, 3, or 4 image galleries down the page in a pattern that is pleasing.
Prior to v3.1.14, when a visitor clicked on an image, the activated lightbox would allow the visitor to cycle through all of the images from all of the galleries.
From a programming sense, I understand why you needed to make them separate galleries. I haven’t looked at the code, but it might be possible to giving the galleries an additional css class that the lightbox script can use instead of the classes auto-generated by the plugin.
Of course, this isn’t a feature request–thank you for responding and answering my question.
Hello @tdmarsol,
I apologize for the response in delay. Unfortunately, I couldn’t come up with a solution to combine the lightboxes for multiple galleries. However, I will ask the developers if they have a solution and get back to you with more information.
Hey Gilbert,
Thank you–I appreciate the offer, but this is a very specific feature request. I have a bit of programming experience and will try to develop this on my own!
Thank you, and best regards,

Hello @tdmarsol,
I did hear from the developer. This was the response:
We don’t have a way to make all the lightboxes linked. The only way to do it would be to disable the Kadence lightbox option in the gallery and use a plugin (I don’t know of any that would work this way) or code their own function to override the Kadence Lightbox

Hi @tdmarsol,
I stumbled upon this thread seeking a solution for this very UI feature. Could you solved it yourself? Do you have any advice for me to achieve it?
Best regards,
