 * Is there a way of changing the length of the description text which is shown 
   on the slides? As you can see on the pages example the text ist cut. It would
   be nice to show all. In most cases that´s only a few more words.
 * Hope you can help me. Thanks!

 * Hello saschavalentin,
 * please try the following CSS code. it will increase the width and also set the
   min-height. if you don’t want to set the height then please remove the height.
 * >  #example3_4998 .desc-in{
   >  width: 100% !important; min-height: 30% !important;}
 * Note: Here “4998” is a shortcode id [URIS id=4998]
 * Please notify us after applying the solution.
 * Thank you.

 * Tried it but I´m afraid it doesn´t work. I think the problem doesn´t depend on
   the width of the container. Because ther would be enough space to show the other
   letters. There must be a function which cuts the letters.

 * If possible then please take the screenshot and share with us.
    You want to say
   there is a function which limits the text…

 * hi saschavalentin,
 * We find out the solution, if you are familiar with coding then please follow 
   the instruction:
 * 1) go to plugin folder, there you will find uris-layout.php
 * 2) now go to line no 255 or search strlen($Desc) > 300 ( you will get this line:
   <?php if(strlen($Desc) > 300 ) echo substr($Desc,0,300).”…”; else echo $Desc;?
   >)
 * 3) edit the 300 to 500 in both places. (<?php if(strlen($Desc) > 500 ) echo substr(
   $Desc,0,500).”…”; else echo $Desc; ?>)
 * This will solve the problem. If facing any problem doing this please tell us.
 * Thank you.
