Plugin Licensing and Updates

Revolution Slider is included as a bundled premium plugin.

You do not need to activate it with your own personal license key in order to use it on your site.

We hold an extended license for bundled plugins, which allows us to provide plugin updates through theme updates. This means:

  • There is one license per theme purchase, and only we can use it to access plugin updates.
  • When a new plugin version is available, we include it inside the latest theme update package.
  • To update the plugin, update the theme to the latest version.
  • SR6 will continue receiving critical security and severe bug fixes through at least March 2028 (per ThemePunch).
  • In March 2028 the plugin will not longer be included with WPResidence theme updates as there will be no support from ThemePunch team.

If you experience issues with bundled plugins or need help updating them, please open a ticket in our private support system: https://care.wpestate.org/

Important Update About Slider Revolution 7 (SR7)

ThemePunch (the plugin authors) released Slider Revolution 7 in March 2026. SR7 is a separate, rebuilt version and is not included under older one-time licenses.

What this means for theme-bundled users:

  • Your current Slider Revolution 6 (SR6) plugin keeps working on your website.
  • SR6 will continue receiving critical security and severe bug fixes through at least March 2028 (per ThemePunch).
  • SR7 requires a separate annual plan if you choose to upgrade directly with ThemePunch.

Note: Revolution Slider may also ask for a separate license to access their template library or premium assets. The bundled license covers the plugin itself, but not every premium cloud feature offered by ThemePunch.

How to Import Demo Sliders

Demo sliders are not automatically imported with the demo content. If you wish to use a specific demo slider, you can import it manually:

  1. Go to Revolution Slider in your WordPress dashboard.
  2. Use the Import Slider option.
  3. Demo sliders are located in the 4.demo_content/revolution sliders folder.
  4. To access this folder, download the All files and documentation package from your ThemeForest buyer account and unzip it.

Use the Import option from Revolution Slider:

Using Revolution Slider With Elementor and the Search Form Builder

When using Revolution Slider together with the Search Form Builder in Elementor, you cannot use the theme’s Custom Hero Header (as shown on some demo pages). Instead, follow the steps below.

1. Set the correct page template

  • Go to Edit Page from the WordPress dashboard.
  • Under Page Attributes, set the Template to Elementor Full Width.
  • Make sure Hero Media is set to None.

2. Edit the page with Elementor

  • Click Edit with Elementor to open the page in the Elementor editor.

3. Add the Revolution Slider

  • Create a new container at the top of the page.
  • Inside this container, add the Revolution Slider widget.
  • Select the slider you wish to use.

4. Manage the slider and its container

  • Use the container settings to control the section width.

5. Add the Search Form Builder

  • Below the slider container, add another container.
  • Insert the Search Form Builder widget into this container.
  • Use margin and padding settings to control its position and spacing relative to the slider.
