There's something I'm not understanding on slides.... Dynamic slide, 6 categories, I just want to create a slider that updates itself with the LAST entry in each category. Thought if I did a slide for each category and tried to manually select the 1st entry (one category per slide), that that would do the job.
Unfortunately, what I'm seeing is I modify a slide, and the results appear to just snag the next slide in line.
Understand the globally applied, So on my test slider, I reduced it to one slide to try and get the initial query correct.
If I have 5 categories, "A","B","C", "D","E" (Haven't loaded up the categories yet, so am only dealing with 5-6 records in each category; Maximum).
and do Filter of "POST" > Selecting categories "A","B", and Last modified, Descending and "1st", I'm getting pretty much all of the posts selected in the preview window for each category that I've selected, which is not what I'm expecting to see.
So, question is, with one query allowed, how do I set it up to show the last entered record in each category in a separate slide?
Also fairly annoying that the interface doesn't have an "Execute" button on it. Particularly if new to the product, you're left wondering if it's doing anything at all, until you figure out it's happening in the preview window.

The dynamic layer options/filters/categories are applied globally on the slider. If you modify one slide, the rest will follow. Also, the current limit is one post per slide. But if you select all categories at once for that slider, you can choose/filter for each category on every slide, so you can find all the posts you need on all slides.
I love your animations, your editing functions, etc. Some of it is quite brilliant. Dynamic content... Well mother said, "If you can't say something good".
Was able to resolve my issues by moving to Smart Slider. It has it's own quirks and issues, but at least got my slider to work. One other thing. Preview mode in your product, when dealing with text. I couldn't seem to get the color to show. It did fine upon publication though.
