Yeah, but for this relatively minor bug, it’s a great plugin. I really like the convenience of dynamically maintaining the timeline in a Google spreadsheet; it’s a bit of a pain to have to convert to JSON.

Meanwhile, perhaps a member of the development team will see this thread and come up with a fix. They deserve kudos for a great product!
I just installed it, and I love it too, but I’m having the same problem. I notice that many of the sample sites they feature also exhibit this problem, but not all of them. Perhaps it depends on whether the timeline is expressed in JSON or a Google spreadsheet. I’m about to dig into the code…
