    Treid all of the fixes below and still get message. Also deletes file when using folder method. Please advise.

    —-
    A: 1) Try to use “Import from Folder” method.
    Copy generated module to “./wp-content/plugins/wow-slider-wordpress-image-slider-plugin/import/” folder and click “Import from Folder” button.

    Maybe your module has too big size. In this case “Import from Folder” method will fix the problem.

    2) If problem will persist:

    * Notice, that wowslider plugin works with WordPress v.3.1 or 3.2. If your version is older, plugin will now work.

    * Make sure that you have “write” permission to folder “./wp-content/plugins/wow-slider-wordpress-image-slider-plugin/import/”.

    * If you use PHP older than version 5, try to add following line:
    “AddHandler php5-cgi .php”

    into your .htaccess file.

    I suppose, that reason of ‘Wrong slider’ error could be old version of PHP. In this case problem will be fixed. This line will make your server to process .php files using PHP5.

    Contacted by support within 48 hours and their suggestions did not work, but I discovered the problem:

    I was uploading the wrong file.

    I’m not an idiot, but when I saved the project and “published” it to my desktop, it never appeared there, just the saved project, so I tried it both raw and zipped to no avail.

    When I saved it to my Downloads folder, it appeared as just “wowslider” — and I almost mistook it for the installation file. In fact, I uploaded it on a lark, since why would it be named anything but the project name, right?

    Anyway, I hope this saves other people exasperation by posting this …
