How to import demo slider into Be|theme using Revolution Slider?

Albert · May 2014

Notice! This is important. Since Revolution Slider 4.0 instead of .txt files you should upload .zip what is much better solution because all settings for slider, images, etc comes with this file. Inside main package downloaded from Themeforest you have /revolution-slider-demo/ folder and inside are different sliders. Just pick up slider you like and import into Revolution Slider.

-----------------------------------------

IMPORTANT FOR ALL THOSE WHO USE VERSION 5 OR NEWER!

For more details, about new 5.0 version please visit http://www.themepunch.com/revslider-doc/first-steps/#demoslider

Step 1 – Go the the Revolution Slider tab in your WordPress Admin and click the Import Slider button.

Step 2 – Choose the .zip file of the slider you would like to import.

Step 3 – Once you have chosen the .zip file, an Import Slider button will appear.

Step 4 – Click the Import Slider button and wait.

Step 5 – Once the uploading finished, you will see your imported slider in the list of Revolution Sliders.

Where can i get Slider1.zip?

Albert · June 2014

@dotconverse We already replied on your question in other topic where you asked about the same so please read the following one http://forum.muffingroup.com/betheme/discussion/4/how-to-get-and-import-xml-file-with-demo-content#latest and all will be clear

Hi there, I just bought this theme yesterday. After I unzip the slider-demo folder, there was a list of categories e.g hotel, lawyer etc.. and inside each of them there is slider_export.txt - do I import this?

Albert · June 2014

@kolezlaw No, for slider you must upload .zip files, not .txt. Txt files were in the past but Revolution Slider has been changed and now only .zip files must be imported as they got whole css and other things included into sliders.

kolezlaw · June 2014

@muffingroup Thanks, do I upload every single of the zip files? and save the titles according to their category?

E.g.

Title: Hotel1

Alias: hotel1

I have imported the demo xml but the pages and footers are not looking right. could you take a look at my website and tell me what's wrong? http://www.container.sg/osg2/

kolezlaw · June 2014

@muffingroup

I managed to fix the footers, but the menu on top is still up the shoots.

Albert · June 2014

If you want all sliders, then you must upload all .zip files of course separately. But what is wrong with your menu? What you can`t sort? Please explain.

kolezlaw · June 2014

@muffingroup ;

All I did was import the demo xml and my menu was already not in order. You can take a look at my URL: http://www.container.sg/osg2/

kolezlaw · June 2014

After I set permissions to 777,

the fonts on my sliders are drastically reduced. Why is this happening?

kolezlaw · June 2014

@muffiingroup

I have revoked permissions back to 7 5 5 and after turning off Load Google Fonts, I got back the original fonts. But the menu is still giving me a lot of pain.

Albert · June 2014

@kolezlaw Menu never comes with the same look and order as on demo because wordpress is not able to import those settings the same way as on demo website. But this problem is on wordpress side. We sent few requests to wordpress support team and hope this is what will be fixed in the future.

At this moment we work on "one click demo install" and maybe with this option it will be possible to download each, even the littlest thing the same as on demo but this solution will take us probably some time. So menu and widgets in footer are probably the only things that must be setup manually after xml import.

But please explain what is wrong with Google font as we don`t see anything wrong. We already checked your website and looks exactly the same as our demo and we have no idea what exactly you mean.

hi:

I'm trying to import the sliders but all I get is this message: error wrong export slider format. this could be caused because the zipArchive extension is not enabled.

Albert · June 2014

@ndelmoral Hey, probably you're right and have no zipArchive extension enable. If you tried to upload right .zip files with sliders then you should contact with hosting provider and ask about it. Hope he will be able to help you.

My Revolution Slider looks very different than your instructions. I don't have a "New" button.

I only see "how to use the slider," "Version information," "need Premium support and auto updates?"

Please help.

Albert · June 2014

@padavids1 Please read the following topic http://forum.muffingroup.com/betheme/discussion/120/revolution-slider-not-active where we described everything. This should help you!

hellenlarach · June 2014

Hello,

I love the demo sliders, but I am missing the Creative slider. It wasn't inculded when I downloaded the files.

Albert · June 2014

Hi @hellenlarach,

Slider on Be|Creative page is not built on revolution slider and that`s why it is not included into package. This slider comes with demo content and is stored in .xml files. More info about xml file and re-creating demo you can read on http://forum.muffingroup.com/betheme/discussion/14/step-by-step-how-to-re-create-demo-page

hellenlarach · June 2014

Thanks!

robelings · June 2014

It appears to me this video is out of date (and of very poor quality too).... so please update your info. It's been hours trying to figure out how to install the dummy content for the slider.... quite frustrating .... and not my idea of a 1-Click install ....

Error: Wrong export slider file format!"

Can you please help me?

Hi,

I tried to upload the .zip file of the sliders, but the page will skip to a new page shows below content:

importing slider setings and data...

Error: Wrong export slider file format! This could be caused because the ZipArchive extension is not enabled.

Go Back

Albert · August 2014

@teaman It looks like you have old slider version (maybe from older theme where you have used the same slider) or as it has been described above, you don`t have ziparchive extension enable on your hosting and then you need to contact with your hosting provider only.

cmaas231 · August 2014

OK I was able to import the demo sliders and everything but the revolution slider seems to be misbehaving in the following ways:

NONE of the layers for each individual slide show in the editing area.
There is no "Change Image" button to change out the main background
It does not do ANYTHING when I click on Update Slide

Any ideas on why it is behaving like this? None of my other sites using this latest version of Revslider do this.

Albert · August 2014

@cmaas231 Please send us access to your dashboard on pm with explanation and we`ll have a look on it.

hubtex · December 2014

This is CRAZY. I have worked with several themes in the past and i MUST say that this is the most complicated theme i have seen.

Importing the RIGHT SLIDER is nowhere to be found.

I see so many people asking the same questions. I am not happy with muffingroup responses, seems like a lot of YOU SHOULD KNOW or similar.

DO YOU OFFER REFOUNDS?

Albert · December 2014

@hubtex If you want refund then you musy contact with envato because you bought theme from envato, not from us.

However can you explain what is complicated? This question has been asked by only few people while we sold nearly 6000 copies what means that all is clear and not complicated at all. And it is not our false that some users can't read the documentation. If you will ever have a look into documentation http://themes.muffingroup.com/betheme/documentation/#slider you will understand how it works. All you need to do is create slider or import one of our demo sliders (this takes about 30 seconds) and then while you create/edit page, in "Page options" section you have field to select slider (this takes about 5 seconds). And this is all you need to do so we really don't understand what is so complicated. Maybe you should sometimes look into documentation?

IN my theme package the only folder related to revolution slider is a demo folder - within this are 5 zipfiles - home, blog, splash etc. I've tried uploading these to my plugins folder but they do not appear as plugins in my admin area of the site. There should be an actual revolution slider zip file should there not - I can't seem to install the plugin from what was supplied with the theme package - please clarify.
Nevermind - I finally figured this out - it seems the only way to actually get the plugin file and not demo files is to press the link in the message at the top - "BEGIN INSTALLING PLUGINS"
That's a very limited way to ensure users can get their plugin installed. If I had clicked to close that warning I don't know how I could have installed it at all.
