Anyone know where can I find a documentation to update the revslider plugin?
Hello jaypabs,
Please notice that the latest version of Revolution Slider come bundled with the latest version of the theme. You should install this plugin in the same way how you install any else plugin, according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-install-revolution-slider-v5/
Thanks for the message!
Hi,
Thanks for the reply. But I’m asking on how to update it, not how to install it.
Is it safe to deactivate and then delete this plugin and install it again from the latest version? Or just simply overwrite the files?
Hello,
You will have to disable the plugin and delete the files from the wp plugins section. Then install the new version as you would any plugin. Revolution slider as well as visual composer need this method of updating.
We created this guide for visual composer but the same method applies to rev slider: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Thank you!

But at the website of Themepunch, the developers of Revolution Slider it says:
IMPORTANT!
Never uninstall/reinstall the plugin, as that would also delete your previously built sliders. Instead, as long as the following instructions are followed, any previously built sliders will be saved and still exist once the update process is complete.
I had that once so now I’m doubting how to update, Themepunch advises link, do you agree on that?
Kind regards,
Marcel.
Hello,
Please follow the guide you posted as it describes exactly what you need to do not to lose your data. If the plugin author suggest this then this is how it should be done. You can find the plugin zip file in the main theme package you download from envato.
Thank you!
