 * Hello.. I’m seeing an issue with using the same image in two different sliders.
   When I change the caption in the second slider of the same image it automatically
   changes the caption in the first slider. Is there a way to allow different captions
   of the same image in different sliders?

 * P.S. Rotation order also gets changed on first slider if using same image in 
   second slider.

 * Hi there,
 * This is a known limitation of the current configuration in Meta Slider unfortunately
   as the slide information used in Meta Slider is associated with a single media
   file in WordPress.
 * The good news is that we’re are planning to change this so that the slide is 
   linked to a post instead meaning that you’ll be able to use the same media file
   in different contexts.
 * The workaround in the meantime is to upload a duplicate image if you require 
   a different caption etc in multiple slideshows.
 * Thanks,
    Dave

 * Still to come – the most recent update was preparatory for a range of changes
   related to the relationship between slides and media files.
 * Stay tuned!

 * Hello. Has this been updated yet? I still can’t get simultaneous images to show
   in a certain order on different pages.

 * Hi,
 * The images are now associates with a ‘slide’ post.
 * What version of Meta Slider is currently installed?

 * Hi,
 * Is this still with sliders that were created before the update?
 * Please could you test creating two new sliders that share images? Does the issue
   persist on the new slides?
