    Hi All,

    I am trying to create a custom divi gallery that is commonly available on other website builders (like Wix) and am having some trouble. If you could help me out that would be great!

    Description: Main Gallery page has thumbnail/cover photos that open in a lightbox to individual galleries.

    If you need more explanation let me know or I can provide examples.

    Thanks!
    Olivia

    Hey Olivia,

    Hopefully I'm understanding correctly...

    If you set a gallery module to "Slider" mode (at: Gallery Settings > Design > Layout > Layout) then initially only the first image of the gallery is displayed (at the full size of the gallery). If you click on this image it will open the whole gallery in a lightbox where you can click through one image at a time using the navigation arrows.

    One thing you might not want with this set up is the navigation arrows and dots shown on the initial (non-lightbox) view of the gallery. You can hide these as described in the following posts (which describe how to do it using either my Divi Gallery Booster plugin or - towards the end of the posts - CSS code):

    https://divibooster.com/hide-divi-gallery-module-slider-navigation-arrows/
    https://divibooster.com/hide-divi-gallery-module-slider-navigation-dots/

    With that you should get an image on the main page which, when clicked, brings up the full gallery in a lightbox. Obviously repeat this with additional gallery modules on your main gallery page to add further galleries.

    But please correct me if I'm misunderstanding what you need. Thanks!

    Thank you so much! That is exactly what I meant.

    If I did want to keep scrolling on the main page how would I keep the image size from changing without cropping it?

    You're welcome, Olivia!

    One way to stop the image size from changing is to set a max height on the gallery which is equal to (or smaller than) the height of your shortest image. You can set it at:

    Gallery Settings > Design > Sizing > Max Height

    The bottom of taller images will be hidden. If your images are reasonably similar in height this shouldn't be too noticeable.

    I hope that helps, but if there are any other changes you'd like to make to the galleries just let us know.
