  1. A Host Page (the receiving page the slideshow appears on).
  2. Slide Pages (with the content) that get assigned to the Host Page.

This page must have a Category for it to show a slide.

The Slideshow module has been activated and set to: Add a Slideshow to this page.
Don't untick it unless you don't want the slideshow on there. 

The Host Page will receive Slide Pages (SS_number_NameOfPage) that have been assigned to it.
