Oh, no worries, you weren’t slow to reply at all, I just had a breakthrough shortly after writing you about it. The issue ended up being that they both used the “featured” ID for their DIVs, so the CSS you applied to the built in slider was interfering with the plugin. Changed the name of things on the plugin and it worked. Thanks!
