 * Is there a way to add a read more button?
    Tried using the shortcode from another
   plugin, but it just displayed the text of the code.
 * thanks

 * I’m sorry you can’t use shortcodes in the plugin yet. You could put a URL in 
   the URL field of the slide and set the description to ‘Read more’. This will 
   create a same kind of effect.

 * Thank you. I tried that, but for some reason the plugin is adding extra characters
   after some of the urls i.e mysite.com/post**%E2%80%8E**, which leads to a 404
   Error.

 * Yes, URLs can’t be used inside the text fields. Except for the URL field. This
   is done for the sake of security.

 * It did that in the url field for 2 text slides, I went back to delete any extra
   spaces and one corrected to the right url, but one continues to add extra jargon
   no matter what, really strange.
