 * How do I get the thickbox imagebrowser to work? Here is [my page ](http://ppr.fitnessforgenerations.com/2010/01/25/canyons-5/)
   but the images go to a new page rather than pop up. What am I doing wrong?

 * Anybody? Heck, I’ll pay someone to fix this issue if possible.

 * Did you get this taken care of? If not, there is an earlier post – [Plugin: NextGEN
   Gallery] Thickbox not working WordPress 2.8.2 / NextGen 1.3.5 – that provides
   a solution.
 * To summarize, from dleek, “try putting the <?php wp_footer(); ?> just before 
   the </body> tag, or before the </div> at the end of your footer.
 * If that doesn’t work, check to make sure you have the <?php wp_head(); ?> hook
   just before the </head> tag in the header.php file.”
 * I added both as directed above and it worked for me.
 * Good luck!

 * I took a quick look at your source:
 *     ```
       <!-- Thumbnails -->
   
       <div id="ngg-image-19" class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box"  >
       	<div class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail" >
       		<a href="http://ppr.fitnessforgenerations.com/wp-content/gallery/canyons-5/canyons5-bb.jpg" title=" " rel="lightbox[set_8]" >
       			<img title="canyons5-bb" alt="canyons5-bb" src="http://ppr.fitnessforgenerations.com/wp-content/gallery/canyons-5/thumbs/thumbs_canyons5-bb.jpg" width="100" height="75" />
       		</a>
       	</div>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * and thickbox currently won’t be loaded, for some reason I didn’t see any class
   =”thickbox” on the same line as your rel=”…” in the source code?
 * Can you verify that under | Gallery | Options | Style | “JavaScript Thumbnail
   effect:” Thickbox
 *     ```
       class="thickbox" rel="%GALLERY_NAME%"
       ```
   
 * is displayed?

 * Ah that worked, cdpayne. I had a hard time understanding the instructions since
   the documentation is a bit convoluted. But thank you so much!
