How do I switch from Meta Slider to Smart Slider? Also, I am a Premium User from 2015. My confirmation email didn’t include info on how to get email support. How can I access this as well? Thanks.

    Hi Bart

    Thanks for reaching out.

    To switch from Meta Slider to Smart Slider you’d need to install Smart Slider and rebuild your sliders in Smart Slider. Once your sliders are ready, head over to Pages and edit any of the pages that contain a Meta Slider. If you’re using the Vantage Page Slider setting you can select your new Smart Slider. Alternatively, if your Meta Slider is in page content then you’ll need to replace the shortcode or widget with the Smart Slider alternative.

    In early August 2016 we stopped selling Vantage Premium and introduced SiteOrigin Premium, a single plugin that adds additional functionality to Page Builder by SiteOrigin, the SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle and all of our themes. In August of 2018 we discontinued email support and updates for Vantage Premium.

    Almost all of the additional settings previously found in Vantage Premium are now part of the free Vantage theme hosted on the WordPress.org theme directory. This version is being regularly updated. Footer Attribution and Ajax Comments, two options previously part of Vantage Premium are now addons in SiteOrigin Premium.

    If you’re still using Vantage Premium, we recommend migrating to the version hosted on WordPress.org. To do so, make a backup of your site. Next, go to the Themes and switch to any other theme and then delete Vantage Preimum. To wrap up, go to ThemesAdd New, search for Vantage using the search form at the top right, install and activate.

    If you’d like to make use of the Footer Attribution and Ajax Comments addons in SiteOrigin Premium as well as email support and a host of additional functionality, please find a 30% discount code below:
