      1. If the link stays on the site, then you only need the "/page" portion of the link (see slides in the example above)
    3. If the expiry date is set & date is in the past 
      1. if you click "rest date" it will reset the calendar, which you can leave blank or set to the date you want the slide to become inactive (Ex. A slide wanting to show through the day of 7/14 would need the calendar to be set to 7/15. This will turn off/inactivate the slide midnight 7/15).
    4. If the image file name contains an apostrophe (" ' ") the image will be blank. Simply remove the apostrophe from the file name and re-upload the image. If image is still not showing properly, reach out to us.
