First, in the gallery overview, there is the line that reads something like:

Selected photos: 0 – select all – next step: order products from selection

This is supposed to help a customer select a group of photos, but it is confusing, and you can’t easily select all the photos from the gallery.

This can be easily turned off, without having to customize the template. To do this you use a custom header. The custom header inserts custom code into the top of the html page as it is generated by the web server, so each page of your gallery has the custom code.

In this case, we want to insert special code so that those two lines do not display. In the custom header, you want to use the following lines of code:

#select_photos_bar {display:none}

Now save the custom header, and in the gallery settings, select this custom header as your header. Notice the line is now gone when you look at the gallery.
