FAQs

Why don’t I see the option for Gallery Arrow Position?

A: This is likely because you’ve selected either the Base (Dark) or Base (Light) lightbox theme.

These lightbox themes will not allow you the ability to set the Gallery Arrow Position.

Are the same options available for my Envira albums?

A: Absolutely! The Envira Albums works exactly the same as the gallery with the exact same settings for this option.
