 * Hi, just some feedback –
 * Firstly, thanks for making this plugin available – it’s very easy to use and 
   customise.
 * I did have one problem though. I added slides with the same title as some of 
   my pages. I had modified the template to show the title, and added links through
   to the page with the same name. I.e. Slide 1 had ‘Widget A’ as a title linking
   through to a page about ‘Widget A’. Quite a common use case I would have thought.
 * I then found the pages couldn’t be accessed, and were redirecting back to the
   homepage where the slider was. I figured out this was because the slides were
   created with the same slug as my page, and overriding the pages.
 * To overcome this I created new slides with a title prefixed by ‘Slide’ i.e. ‘
   Slide Widget A’, let it generate the slug, then removed ‘Slide’ from the title.
   This resulted in my page links working again.
 * This was done on a slightly older version of WordPress (3.4.1) if that makes 
   a difference. I also initially tried using the ‘Permalink Alias’ and ‘Custom 
   Permalink’ options, but they didn’t help.
 * Anyway, it might be easy for you to recreate/fix this issue, or might help someone
   else who has the same problem.
 * Thanks

 * Thanks for your feedback. There must a be a problem with your site, maybe a theme
   or plugin conflict, or a permalinks issue. Slides are a custom post type, so 
   they can have the same title as a post in a different post type like Pages. Having
   an “About” slide that links to an “About” page should work fine.
