 * I have just enabled the W3 Total Cache plugin on my website, but I see it is 
   preventing the featured images from loading in the sliders. Is there a correct
   setting for W3 Total Cache that will avoid this problem? Or does it need to be
   solved on the plugin’s end?

 * I believe I have found the problem, examining the code in “FeaturedArticles.jquery.
   dev.js”. It seems that the image src for the “featured image” for each article
   is being saved and then taken from html comments:
 * `403 img = img_raw.replace(/<!--|-->/g, '');;`
 * Apart from the fact that there’s a double semicolon, I don’t think it’s a very
   good idea to save the src of the image in html comments…
    When I activate the
   cache plugin, it’s certainly stripping comments from the html, effectively making
   it impossible for Featured Articles to load the images.
 * I would suggest to use the html5 attribute “data-*” to store such information,
   or anyways the jquery “data()” method (which can be used even without html5).
