Layerslider Issue In 2.5

Posted this on Themeforest – opening as a thread here –

Just upgraded to 2.5 and have some strangeness with Layerslider. Going to open a thread in your support but briefly here is the situation.

Prior to 2.5 Update we have been testing Enfold with “your” Layerslider disabled, and using separate Layerslider plugin, to test out the new video features while waiting for your upgrade. All was working well.

We run a development site on localhost, and after installing the 2.5 upgrade all is seamless…

However, when we deploy to the staging server two things happen:
1/ the exported slider from the localhost site imports into the staging site, but we lose all transitions and timings. I can workaround by having both sites open and copy/pasting between them, but as we go from dev – staging -live often, I am concerned there is an issue. There is no problem with the exported JSON file – if I bring it into another Layerslider install it imports fine.

2/ The second thing is the strange part.
The Layerslider interface on the dev (localhost) installation is different from the remote staging installation. Specifically the tabs for each layer.
On localhost, they appear as: Basic / Options / Link / Style / Attributes
On remote server they are: Content / Transition / Link / Styles / Attributes

Everything is running WP 3.8. Both Enfold installs done from the same Enfold package at the same time.
Any idea what is happening?
