    I have the Prose theme and I'm looking to have a Gallery page for my photography. What are the best options for slideshows? I have Jetpack but it doesn't give me the option to create a slideshow?? Nor does the regular Gallery option. I tried the Nexgen plugin and it was behaving strange and didn't really work that well for me. I was hoping someone could give me a tip on a great plugin for this feature.

    Do you have Carousel activated in Jetpack? That should give you the slideshow effect you're looking for.

    I do have the Carousel. My partner with this website wants just a slideshow gallery and lightbox when you open the page to the portfolio and not a grid of thumbnails. Is there a way I can do that?

    You can use the Jetpack features with the native WordPress gallery http://wpsites.net/best-plugins/create-tiled-rectangular-square-circle-slide-show-galleries/#Slide_Show

    You can hook in a slider using PHP code or use a shortcode in the editor http://wpsites.net/best-plugins/add-soliloquy-slider-in-header-of-any-theme/

    Or you can create a new widget area in any hook position and use any slider plugin which offers a shortcode or the Genesis Responsive slider http://wpsites.net/web-design/adding-new-widget-areas-in-studiopress-themes/
