  • Simplistic solution

    Styling options would be nice (like classes and/or ids for each element). There is an ID for the whole slide but then targeting things underneath is difficult. If the text box were a real editing environment, that would help enormously. Had a number of issues with getting the settings to actually "take". Had to do it several times before it actually SAVED the settings and the behavior when a required setting has no value is not very nice. It would be nice to have all the settings have a least a default value.

  • Very good solution for what we need

    This is a perfect solution for what we need. Suggestion: publish the recommended image size for the featured image so the slide s will look good. My only concern is that given the relatively small installation base, how long will Patrick support this product.
