Import and Export

Import Demo Sliders

If your package or team resources include ready-made demo .zoro files, import them through the same slider import workflow.

Typical flow:

1. open the slider dashboard
2. click Import Slider
3. select the provided .zoro demo file
4. upload it
5. wait for the redirect into the imported slider builder
6. review slider settings, slide backgrounds, and layer assets before publishing

This is the fastest way to start from an existing design rather than building from scratch.

Export a Slider

You can export a slider from the dashboard or builder actions. The plugin generates a slider export package that can be moved to another WordPress site running Zoro Slider.

Export includes the slider:

• properties
• settings
• structure
• bundled media used by the slider export

Export and import move the slider design and saved configuration. They do not bundle third-party API credentials for external services beyond what is already stored in the slider settings, so imported source-driven sliders should still be reviewed carefully after import.

For the best result, save the slider before exporting so the package includes the latest builder state.

Slider exports include _SLIDER_ in the filename. Template exports include _TEMPLATE_. Import validation rejects a slider package in the template importer and rejects a template package in the slider importer.

Import a Slider

To import a slider:

1. open the import area in the plugin dashboard
2. choose a .zoro slider package
3. upload the file
4. wait for the import to complete
5. the plugin redirects you to the imported slider builder page after a successful import

Imported sliders keep:

• slider settings
• slide backgrounds
• supported imported media files
• slide and layer structure included in the package

After import, it is good practice to:

1. open Slider Settings
2. confirm the layout and size
3. review each slide background
4. review Google fonts, images, audio, and video assets
5. preview before publishing
6. recheck external-source settings such as JSON URLs and YouTube API usage before going live

Typical Uses

Import and export are useful for:

• moving sliders between staging and live sites
• reusing a finished design on another project
• keeping reusable slider templates

Export as Standalone HTML

The optional Export HTML addon adds a separate export workflow for using a slider outside WordPress or in another CMS.

The generated archive contains an index.html file and the required frontend assets with their folder structure preserved. This is different from a .zoro export:

• .zoro packages are imported into another Zoro Slider WordPress installation
• HTML bundles run independently and are uploaded like a normal static web project

The addon saves current builder changes before export and can add its action to slider cards, the builder action bar, and the builder File menu.

Template Import and Export

Templates have their own import/export workflow on the Templates page. Use the _TEMPLATE_ filename marker to identify template packages.

For remote templates, use the Templates Library Import or Use Template action rather than manually downloading the same catalog item repeatedly. See Templates Library.
