I noticed on the free version there was an import/export available in the paid version.

Now that I'm using the $30 paid version, there is no export/import and I've learned in the forum that the information has to be transferred via ftp.

I transferred the plugin folders but the sliders do not appear.

Do I now need to go into My Database and do the same?

Could you remove the free versions claim that there is an import/export feature? Seems pretty misleading considering that was one of the reasons I purchased the $30 paid version.

Please advise

Dear Paul,

Did you uninstall the lite version of the plugin you had before? If not, then we assume the plugin got deactivated, when you transferred them via FTP. Please go to the backend of your website and activate it.

However, the full version does have Export/Import functionality. It should appear above the sliders in Slider WD > Sliders page.
Thank you.
