I added text to slide (slide info), but it does not appear in slider
You need to add “slide info” control too. To do that, go for editing slider, under “slider controls” tab, select and add “slide info” control
After I’ve removed a slider, it still appears on my website
Maybe you have a cache plugin enabled on your website or Master Slider’s built-in cache is enabled.
