WordPress - alternative update
Update on admin panel
Step 1
Go to your Plugins list and deactivate and delete your current Smart Slider 3 installation. Don't worry, your sliders will stay!
If you would have a problem, where you don't even see Smart Slider 3 on your Plugins list, you should delete its folder with everything in it from FTP:
\wp-content\plugins\ smart-slider-3\
\wp-content\plugins\ nextend-smart-slider3-pro\
Step 2
Download the smartslider3-wordpress-3.x.x.zip from our website. (Or the free version from here.)
Step 3
Go to your Plugins → Add new → Upload Plugin and browse the smartslider3-wordpress-3.x.x.zip.
Step 4
Press Install Now, and if the installation was successful, click on Activate Plugin.
Step 5
Now you will see the Smart Slider 3 Pro plugin appearing in your plugins list. After activating it, you will see the Smart Slider menupoint appearing in your left WordPress menu.
If the installation wasn't successful, try out the Update through ftp method instead.
