I guess but then I didn’t buy the Revolution Slider myself as it was bundled in the U-Design theme. I have posted identical responses in this and the U-Design support forums so I think I’ve done all I can.
Thanks for the help and patience anyway.
None of this will stop me using Duplicator though!
Hi,
Well, I got an email reply to my support ticket. I had pointed them to both this thread and the U-Design thread and the responded thus:-
Maybe the following will work?
http://www.themepunch.com/home/plugins/wordpress-plugins/revolution-slider-wordpress/slider-not-working-after-migrating-site-to-new-domain/So I guess that wont help you or the U-Design team but maybe by posting this response here and at U-Design it will help other users with similar issues?
Have opened a ticket with Themepunch (Revolution Slider authors) – will update if and when.
Spot on!
Never thought to look that far down! Sorted!! 🙂
OK, I will see what I can find out and will get back to you.
Does this help at all?
[Revolution Slider and WP Duplicator issue]
Hi @adendum,The Revolution Slider, I believe, stores the information in the WordPress database under several tables:
I did notice some support threads between the two plugins a year or so ago here: http://codecanyon.net/item/slider-revolution-responsive-wordpress-plugin/2751380/comments?page=7 and here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/issues-with-revolution-slider So, maybe there is an issue there that the developers need to work out between themselves.
Cheers!
ChrisOr do I need to dig deeper?
I’ll get back to you on that.
That’s pretty much what I did e.g. Use Filezilla to access the server and simply hit the delete key on each file and folder. I also used cPanel to delete the live database.
But as with everything computer wise – back everything up first!!
or too late even!
lol……….to late now!
Hi,
All done. Although not as simple as I had hoped!
When I first posted my main concern was avoiding duplicate content when bringing back the development site into the live server but once I started the process I decided to [a] backup everything and then [b] delete everything on the live server, so I was starting from scratch.
All went very well until I discovered a lot of missing images and on inspection of the database in phpMyAdmin I discovered over 1000 references to the development URL. I made some ‘manual’ changes to search and replace and that seemed to fix most of the problems.
In the end I still had to make some edits, via the backend, to various URLs in several slideshows and a few broken images.
Most of the time and effort was spent checking every page, every post and every link. But the job is done and the client is happy.
I just need to do this process again and figure out what step I missed (if any) to cause so many URL references to get missed….any ideas?
Very strange indeed….but it turns out to be nothing to do with this awesome plugin!
It was pure coincidence that the connection was assumed. Turns out it was a combination of a server update to PHP 5.3 and a caching error and it took the server engineers a couple of days to work out what was wrong.
As soon as they corrected the caching problem in 5.3 everything returned to normal.
Sorry if I scared anyone 🙂

In reply to: Visual Editor – how to override a site's theme css?I have only checked about half of them so far and none appear to have such a file available.
I assume that editor-style.css is the route to go then. Meaning such a file could be created and then added to the functions.php page?

In reply to: Visual Editor – how to override a site's theme css?I have emailed the developer of the theme but I am also interested in having the same option in other sites that do not use this theme.
I have over 20 client sites using a variety of free, premium and self made themes and I have always been disappointed with the ‘wysiwyg’ side of WP so this recent update is an improvement but still leaves gaps and I’d like to learn (as I am sure others would too) what is possible when it comes to enhancing the user’s editing experience.
So I ask again – what can be done? Where and how?

In reply to: Visual Editor – how to override a site's theme css?The theme does have its own custom CSS section but there isn’t an editor-style.css file. It’s Custom Community downloaded from the WP theme repository.
