Is it possible to add html to the slider text? I’d like to add a <p> or <br>
I hope you are well today and thank you for your question.
Yes you can achieve this by adding slider text along with <p> or <br> in the Excerpt field of post as shown in the attached screenshot.
Best Regards,

Perfect! I didn’t think to use the excerpt.
On another note. Is it possible to remove the “glow” when the slider switches slides? I have the same background for all my slides just different text. I’d like it to appear that the text is rotating, not the image.
