@lloyd all the sliders which are included are standalone plugins and they have their respective docs so it has no value to rewrite them here. unfortunately, there will be always some users which want more than standard users and so there will be always problems. you should realize that we offer a solid theme for 2/3 price of a similar theme ($65) on other websites, which include a lot of features and functionality, and if it’s missing something what you need(needed), then sorry, but it’s coded as it is.
I’m sure they do have their own respective documents buried somewhere. However, I did not install the plugins, I installed your theme which chose to have a dependency on those plugins, which assumes a level of support by connection. Additionally, the price of a different companies theme should not dictate the amount of support you feel like providing for your own companies theme – that comes across as an excuse. If a different theme provides better support and better customizations and documentation then maybe I should be using their themes.
It is clearly missing many customizations that were shown in the demo version. This was a marketing decision by Theme4Press, not by me, and I feel it is misleading. Telling me to suck it up and accept that the theme is inferior to what was promised, is not a good way to set expectations.
With that said, I’m not intending to complain – I made the short-sighted decision to purchase the theme with the information I was provided. Its up to you to decide if you feel there is value in a customer that is moving on to a different theme because of a lack of parity with what was presented in the demo versus the actual theme. If you disagree that it is misleading, and choose not to follow up on my experience, that’s up to you to decide – theme4press is not my brand to maintain.
Cheers,

no, they are not as they are owned to their respective authors and cannot be included in the package. you can purchase them in an online market or download some free ones.
This should be made more obvious on the demo page to ensure people feel like they aren’t mislead by the purchase.
I just wanted to share – that this should be clearly written on the demo page. In my case, I added it site wide but there are many features such as this that are (in practice) severely limited. And should be properly communicated with people prior to purchase.
In fairness, you have to expect some sites to use a slider site wide, which shows the demo is very misleading. Especially when you consider some of the advertised backgrounds and features are not available without additional installations + purchases. it has not been the experience we were advertised.
With that said, future people who bought this theme expecting these features, you can manually add the slider to the header file.
Example for adding it just to the homepage via header modification: (not supported, but needed by most people who buy the theme, and not explained at time of purchase):
<?php putRevSlider(“slider1″,”homepage”) ?>
Where “slider 1” is the slider, and “homepage” is a sequential page list
Ok, I didn’t change anything and only pressed save. But this particular problem is resolved please close the thread thanks.
have you updated your permalinks after the theme installation? Settings -> Permalinks
Thanks… Update it to what?

Discussing it with folks, we may end up not using this theme anyway. As their desired look and feel will require theme and CSS modifications which are not available natively in the app (the widget sidebar view is pretty terrible) or supported (meaning we need to customize the heck out of the widgets and header).
