    Dear Enfold team,
    I’ve just bought the last plugin version of the Layerslider (6.7.1).
    I did “activated it”. But it did’nt “installed it” and I’m still with my 2016 Layerslider version

    Here the issue message I got:
    “Install Location: Non-standard Using LayerSlider from a non-standard install location or having a different directory name could lead issues in receiving and installing updates. Commonly, you see this issue when you’re using a theme-included version of LayerSlider. To fix this, please first search for an option to disable/unload the bundled version in your theme, then re-install a fresh copy downloaded from CodeCanyon. Your sliders and settings are stored in the database, re-installing the plugin will not harm them.”

    In order to install it could you please validate what I am planning to?

    – First whithin Enfold and specially my Enfold Child, I must deactivate the bundled version of the layerslider and keep safe my sliders and settings:

    Within Enfold Child / Layout Builder / Integrated (Bundled) LayerSlider Plugin, I have 4 choices possibles:
    1) Activate bundled plugin (actual choice)
    2) Deactivate but leave plugin files in theme folder
    3) Remove theme plugin files only and keep slides
    4) Remove theme plugin files and slides

    I hesitate between option 2 or 3. What’s best?
    Thanks for your advice.

    Otherwise, no problem to install Layerslider as an ordinary plugin.

    Best regards.
    Noemi

    PS:
    Wordpress version 4.9.7–fr_FR (last)
    Enfold version 4.4.1 (last)
    PHP Version: 7.0.30

    Hey Noepineau,

    You can deactivate or remove the bundled version of LayerSlider under Enfold->Layout Builder.

    Best regards,

    Hi Rikard,
    Thank you for your advice: “You can deactivate or remove the bundled version of LayerSlider under Enfold->Layout Builder”. I do agree.
    My concern was: within the “Layout builder” popup which is the best choice in order to keep safe my sliders and settings before installing the standard Layerslider plugin:

    – Option 2) Deactivate but leave plugin files in theme folder ?
    or
    – Option 3) Remove theme plugin files only and keep slides ?

    Obviously, one’s must try to know. But is it risky?

    Best regards.
    Noemi.

    Hi Noemi,

    Use option 2 since it just deactivates the bundled plugin but doesn’t remove anything.
    Hope this helps :)

    Best regards,
