Sorry, I gave you the WordPress version. I’m using the newest version of this plugin (2.0.6), which I just upgraded to today.
What browser are you running? I cannot reproduce this. Can you send login details to derek[at]valendesigns.com
Cheers,

There is no reason you would only be able to add one slider.
I’ve tried it in several browser – Firefox 14.0.1, Chrome and IE – all of which have been unable to add additional banners. I know that there should be no reason I can’t add more than one slider…that’s why I’m contacting you for help. It was working prior to me upgrading to this version of the plugin.
I’ve sent you an email with login details.
Can you send them again? I didn’t get them and I’m about to go to sleep
I’m not sure what problem you’re having as I can create a million sliders and it would make no difference.
Oh – is the “custom slider” tab new? I just upgraded to 2.0.8 this morning before I sent login details. I was using the “Front Page Options” to add the slider images. But, even though you added those items in the “custom slider” tab, I’m still seeing the image that has been uploaded on the the “front page options” tab. If I delete that image, will it revert to use the “custom slider” tab settings?
I just added that tab to separate the sliders from the rest of your stuff.
I appreciate that! How do I associate the “custom slider” tab to the front/home page?
With the UI builder, it has drag and drop. I already moved them into the right area you can tinker with it. Do you understand how OptionTree work? You create settings with the UI builder or through code (more complicated) all the settings and sections you add to the UI builder show up on the theme options page. that’s how you add more sliders.
I removed the Custom Slider tab but it super easy to use, do you have skype?
No, I’m not completely familiar – I can figure it out though.
Hopefully this is the last question. Now that I see how to add sliders, how will it auto rotate on the front side of the website? There are 3 slider options, but only the image associated with the “Front Page Slider” is displaying on the front side.
The slider and list-item (better than a slider) options are nothing more than a place to save information you want to use on the front-end i.e. images, links & descriptions.
However, OptionTree does not create a slider or alter your front-end code in any way. You would need to hire a developer to do that for you or read some tutorials on image sliders made with WordPress/PHP and jQuery and then substitute there dynamic code for that which comes out of OptionTree’s saved data array using
$slider_array = ot_get_option( 'slider_id_here', 'Enter the fallback data here incase nothing is returned.' );
