2

or on your Dashboard with the bulk selection by hitting the Bulk Actions → Export button. With this option your can export one or more sliders.

This creates a zip file which you must unzip first. Only the .ss3 file(s) inside are importable!

Import slider

From the Dashboard you can import a slider if you click on the New Project button and click on the "Or Import Your Own Files" link.

Import project

Select your slider then click on the Import button.

Import file

You can browse your exported .ss3 file, and import it. If your server has a low upload limitation, which is smaller, than the .ss3 file, you should use the Local import file method instead.

Local import file

Select the file you have previously uploaded to your server, into this folder:

• WordPress /wp-content/uploads
• Joomla /media

Restore slider

If you were working on your site on a different domain, and you have the slider's id hardcoded into your template, use this option to import that slider into some other site where you are using the same template.

Image mode

This option decides how the images will be handled in your slider. Please note that this option only affects the images which links are generated with our system, starting with the following $upload$/ on WordPress and $/ on Joomla.

• Clone: Copies the images to your server. They'll be placed in a folder called slider{id] in your site's media folder. The [id] is the ID of the created slider. For example, if your slider after the import gets the following ID: 34 then the images will be at slider34 folder of your media folder.
• Old site URL: The images will not be copied to your new server, but will directly link to the site where the export was generated. For example, if you have a WordPress site at https://example.com/ where you added the following image using our system: $upload$/slider1.jpg. When you import your slider to a new site then on this new site your images will be loaded from the previous site, https://example.com/. So the URL at the slider on the new site will be a fix link to the image location at your old site. For example, to https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/slider1.jpg even if your site is, for example, https://newdomain.com/.
• Original: Doesn't copy the images, but keeps the original system generated link for them. After importing the image URL will point to the exact same place where it pointed on your previous site, such as $upload$/slider16/fullwidthbg1.jpg, even if the ID of the current slider is 34. You'll need to manually copy the image folders to your new website to ensure that the fullwidthbg1.jpg image is present in your new site's /wp-content/uploads/slider16 folder.

Image mode examples

Below you can find an examples on how the Image mode option works. The Old site refers to the site where you imported your slider from and the New site refers to the site where you import the sliders into.

Image mode example - Clone

What happened?

The slider images that were inside the default media folder moved into a special slider[id] folder after importing them.

Image mode example - Old site URL

What happened?

The URL of the images points to the location where the export file was generated after the import.

Image mode example - Original

What happened?

The path structure was carried from the site where the export was generated. As a result, the imported site tries to find the images at the same location where they were on the site where the slider was exported from.

Delete file after import

You can choose to delete the .ss3 file, after it was imported.
