 * I want to link some text directly to a slideshow I’ve created. Using the Link
   to Existing Content feature isn’t working. I see the named slideshow and the 
   resultant link is this:
    [http://sandbox.americanacorvetteclub.org/sandbox/?post_type=ml-slider&p=379](http://sandbox.americanacorvetteclub.org/sandbox/?post_type=ml-slider&p=379)
 * but yields a page not found error. The shortcode for this slider is:
    [metaslider
   id=379]
 * Any help would be appreciated.

 * Let me clarify a bit what I need, which is be able to launch a Metaslider slideshow
   from a text link. I have dozens of sliders depicting different events, and don’t
   want to have to create separate pages for each one, then link to page URLs, but
   rather list all the links on one page to start different shows directly. Please
   advise.

 * Hi Geckoboy,
 * Slideshows don’t have their own pages. They can only be displayed using a shortcode,
   so it is not possible to link directly to a slideshow sorry.
 * Regards,
    Tom
