Thank you for your quick response!
The gallery is located here: http://www.desiretoinspirestudios.com/gallery/
Looks like your current selection of lightbox is set to “None”. Can you change it and make it something else? You can do it from Photonic → Settings → Generic Options → Generic Settings → Inbuilt Lightbox libraries.

Hi,
I just set it to ColorBox.
Thank you for you help!
Can you also tell me what shortcode you are using?

Sure, it’s: [gallery type="smugmug" view='albums' nick_name='d2is' layout='circle' caption='desc' thumb_size='Thumb' main_size='Large' more='More' fx='fade' controls='show']
Can you drop the fx='fade' and controls='show' pieces?

Both are gone, shortcode is now: [gallery type="smugmug" view='albums' nick_name='d2is' layout='circle' caption='desc' thumb_size='Thumb' main_size='Large' more='More']
Something isn’t adding up on your site. You have specified a layout of circle, but somehow it is getting passed as a slideshow to the second level. What do you have under Photonic → Settings → Generic Options → Layouts → Image layout?

It is set to “Thumbnail strip below slideshow”
Ah … OK. Can you set it to “Square” or “Circle” or any of the last 5 options?

Ok I set it to Circular thumbnail grid, lightbox and now the lightbox is showing up with the images!
Thank you very much for your help!
I am guessing there was some setting conflict making it so it no longer shows images? Should I remove the circle option from the shortcode?
The explanation is a little long-winded. Basically the first 4 options correspond to a “slideshow” type of a display. See the example. All other options correspond to a grid display: circular, square, justified, masonry and mosaic. You can see all of them in action in the link above. These are conceptually two different types of layouts, requiring very different types of markup.
What was happening is that you were displaying a 2nd level collection, i.e. a set of albums. Now, when you were clicking on an album thumbnail, it was pulling out the thumbnails from the album alright, but it was rendering them as a slideshow, thanks to your option setting. As a result the JavaScript wasn’t doing anything with it to show the images – they were coming in withe their display attribute set to “none”. But once you switched the option, the markup changed to something the JavaScript could handle, and all was well.
To answer your question – you don’t need to remove the circle option from the shortcode. Instead, even if you change the settings option to “Square thumbnail grid” and leave the shortcode option to circle, it will still behave correctly.
