 * Hi guys, im using the wow slider for adverts
 * [http://www.cotswoldallure.co.uk](http://www.cotswoldallure.co.uk)
 * i love it it looks so classy, im just worried that these will probably be replaced
   fairly regular, and i don’t want to have to uninstall and loose the ads all over
   the site to clear the id number if / when it gets too high.
 * is there anyway of “replacing” or “overwriting” a slider rather than deleting
   it and uploading a new one to replace it?

 * Hello,
 * You should re-generate your slider if you want to make any changes.

 * Save the WOWSlider project file(.wowsl) after creating a slider in the WOWSlider
   application. Then if you want to make any changes you can open this project file,
   edit it and publish again.

 * So
 * 1- I create a slider using the Software.
 * 2 – I save it “Slider1.wowsl”
 * 3 – I go to “WOW Slider” in WordPress
 * There is no “replace” for any sliders
 * 4 – I “Add New” Slider and upload “Slider1.wowsl”
 * But now id goes from 5 to 6, how do i “update id 5 without “adding a new slider”
   and going to id 6?
 * Can I replace the “.wowsl” file in server Cpannel to keep the same id?

 * You can add a slider to your page using another shortcode:
    [wowslider title=”
   title”]. Set the ‘Slider title’ by going Slider–>Properties–>Slider title
 * If you want to update your slider make the slider with the same title, add it
   to WordPress, then move your old slider to bin.

 * this is good to know,
 * but i am still worried about the “id” number getting too high if i keep uploading
   new sliders,
 * i know how to update the slider, but it always has higher “id” number….
 * why when i delete slider with “id number 5”, then i upload a new slider, it says“
   id number 6” …. why not replace 5? because 5 is deleted.

 * Ok….
 * so i thought maybe to save the number of “id’s” building up too fast, ill just
   put more adverts into 1 rotator, and display that 1 rotator on multiple places
   on 1 page
 * But if i do this, they all get messed up and mixed up, one had duplicated text,
   another had no text, you can’t display the same rotator on more that 1 position
   on 1 page?

 * Unfortunately you’ll have to use new slider with another ID number. Otherwise
   the sliders will be mixed up and look incorrectly.
