I purchased your theme a few days ago. The Slider Revolution that came with it is version 4.6.93 show in the plugins folder.
In a September 18th post on your support forum, a Tagdiv member said:
“Revolution Slider and Visual Composer come with bulk license, this means that the plugins can only be distributed with the theme and only we can provide updates for them. You cannot update them directly from their developer”
Slider Revolution’s site says the latest version is: 5.0.6
How do I get the updated version?
Thank you
Hi,
The updates are provided by us via the theme package, we try to deliver the latest versions with each update. The plugins are located in the ../Newspaper-tf/plugins folder – http://screencast.com/t/2Ri75hQV
There you will find the latest version: http://screencast.com/t/YSRJmjnCj5Zi
You can add it from here: http://screencast.com/t/hqRpY7td
If you already have created sliders and do not want to lose them, you should:
1. export your current sliders before you update
2. delete the current plugin and install the latest version
3. import the sliders saved on step one
For more details please check their official documentation – http://www.themepunch.com/faq/update-plugin-packaged-theme/
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
Thank you for your reply. I attempted to upload the “revolution_slide_5” from the WordPress Admin panel. However it could not be installed. Here are the results:
Installing Plugin from uploaded file: revslider.zip
Unpacking the package…
Installing the plugin…
Destination folder already exists. /home/thelit42/public_html/wp-content/plugins/revslider/
Plugin install failed.

Hi,
That is because you did not follow the steps properly. You have to delete the plugin version you already have installed and only after deleting you can install the new version as STEP 2 suggests. The error points out exactly that: the folder already exists. There has to be no folder with that name in order for one to be created.
Thank you!
