add_post_type_support('slide', 'excerpt');
 
//template loop for content slides
$loop = new WP_Query( array(
		'post_type'      => 'slide',
		//'slideshow'      => $slideshow,
		'posts_per_page' => $options['slideshow_quantity'],
		'orderby'		=> 'ID',
		'order'			=> 'ASC'
	) ); 
 
	 // Loop which loads the slideshow
		while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post();
 
		$attr = array(
			'class'	=> "imageItem alignleft",
			'title'	=> get_the_title( $post->ID )			
		);	
				// Adds slide image with Slide URL link
				$slide_img = '<a href="' . get_post_meta( $post->ID, "slide_url_value", $single = true ) .'">' . get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID, array(285,200), 'featured-slide' ) . '</a>';

				$result .= '<li class="royalSlide"> 
				        	<div class="centeredSlide" style="margin-top:28px;">
				                <div class="slideTextBlock">
