Slider Posts – Featured Image Not Working

Hey there, First off thanks for the awesome theme!

I’m having difficulty with the sliders on the Respawn –> Player Demo. I purchased Respawn, imported the Player demo, deleted dummy pages and did the following:

* Created new Categories & Tags for Posts
* Set featured image for each post
* On Home Page, updated the Slider (see screenshot #1) to include those tags.

Issue: When editing in Elementor the slider shows the tags correctly; however, when I publish and go to view the website http://www.startupwars.com from an incognito / cleared cache, only purple backgrounds appear.

See screenshot #2 for the issue.

Q#1 – How can I get the slider to accurately pull the featured image? It looks like this may be a bug
Q#2 – What’s the best way to edit the slider layout itself? I can’t find settings for that.
