    Is there a way to enable shortcodes and markup from a post's content to make it through to the Responsive Slider content overlay? I want to throw in a button shortcode as my 'read more' link.

    Awesome, the button shortcode is working. But html markup doesn't seem to be. Check out the third slider. In the editor, that text is in <h3> tags, and clearly is just plain text when appearing in the slider.

    You can modify the HTML tags in the code to suit your needs. Paste the text in your editor and grab the HTML tags it uses which you can replace in the PHP code so they work in excerpts.

    Ah of course. I just copied and pasted, didn't even look at it. Simple enough! Thanks, Brad.
