  • Alias Naming:
    The slider's "Title" can be anything, but the "Alias" should not have any special characters or spaces (but dashes and underscores are ok).

When choosing “Add Slider Template”, you will be shown the Template Library, which will include a large array of free templates for you to choose from, and also where the Premium Sliders can be found.

  • Become a "Direct Customer" for Premium Sliders:
    "Premium Sliders" are only available to direct customers, and are not available if the plugin was packaged with your theme. But if you'd like access to Premium Slider', visit the link below to learn how you can become a direct customer.

After choosing your template, choose how you wish to import it.  “Online” will import the template automatically from the ThemePunch servers, but you can also choose “Local” and import the slider from one of the demo zips included with the plugin’s original source.

For the example below, we’ll continue with the “Local” option.

  • Quick Note:
    "Premium Templates" are only available as "Online" imports.

To complete the “Local” import, from the plugin’s original source folder, you’ll find a folder named “example-zips”.  Click the “browse” button (#1), and locate the zip file listed in the green box from your computer (i.e. “exwebproduct.zip”).  Then click “Import Template Slider” (#2).

You'll then see the template slider listed in the plugin's main admin page.
