Documentation, Reference Materials, and Tutorials for MetaSlider
It is possible to export slideshows from MetaSlider and import them to a new website.
This first step will show you how to export all the data for your slideshows, including the settings.
Go to “MetaSlider”, then “Settings & Help”, then “Export”.
Your exported file will download to your desktop. The file will have a name such as metaslider-export-june-2-local-2022-06-06T19 25 02.556Z.json.
Your images will need to be exported manually and uploaded to the new website before importing these slideshows.
If you upload your images to the new site, MetaSlider will do the rest. It does not matter what directory the images are in on the new site, or what file type you use.
Let’s use this example image from the export site. This is the original slideshow image:
/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/slideshow-image-1.jpg
MetaSlider will be able to find your image if use any of the folder locations, file types and more:
/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/slideshow-image-1.jpg
/wp-content/uploads/slideshow-image-1.jpg
/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/slideshow-image-1.png
