    Hi everybody,
    I just noticed that the links in the slides don't work: I inserted an http://.... link in the slide link input, but from the inspector i see there is no tag in the slideshow.

    I never tried it before so i don't know if it's a recent bug or if it was already like that.

    Someone with the same problem?
    Tnx

    The link didn't post correctly, can you post a link to the site you're working on?

    Try updating to Meteor Slides 1.5.1 which has better support for single slide slideshows. Are you using a custom slideshow template or anything?

    I am having the same problem I think. I have added URL's for the slides to link to but they are instead linking to:

    website.co.uk/?slide=slide-name

    Which just gives a 404 page not found

    Any suggestions?

    (I am using 1.5.1)

    Edited to add:

    I just ran the W3 HTML Validator on the page and realised the slides are being given multiple anchor tags, the first anchor which I have set on the settings page, then within that the default anchor, like so:

    <a href="http://mywebsite.co.uk/category/mycategory/" title="ATitle"><a href="http://mywebsite.co.uk/?slide=name" title="ATitle"><img width="980" height="283" src="http://mywebsite.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/myimage1.jpg" class="attachment-featured-slide wp-post-image" alt="ATitle" title="ATitle" /></a></a>

    I am going to delete the slides and add them again, see if that fixes the problem.

    This is because your theme is linking the blog post featured images incorrectly. It is filtering all featured images, including the slide images, and adding the post permalink to them.

    Instead it should specifically add links to the featured images when they are added in the template files. What theme are you using, can you post a link?

    I resolved adding more slides in the slideshow.. now the link works.
