When I try to import the free slider demos it says "Importing please wait" but nothing gets imported. I've waited over 1 hr to see if it would import but it has not.
OK I have it figured out I think.... Go to Options under LayerSlider and select System Status to see what the issue might be.
PHP Post Max Size:
8M
Importing larger sliders could be problematic in some cases. This option is needed to upload large files. We recommend to set it to at least 16MB or higher. Please contact your host and ask them to change this PHP setting on your web server accordingly.

Yes, that is right. Problems with the importing method such as this, are usually related to server configuration issues. The LayerSlider System Status also confirmed it. Were you able to request a raise for this server setting from your host ?
I wanted to add this just in case someone else has this issue.
I needed to adjust my file upload size in php.ini. To do this I had to create the php.ini file in Wordpress. Then I had to install and activate Zip Archive. Here is how I did it on my virtual private server.
Log in to your cPanel, and click on the icon labeled "PHP PEAR Packages" (in the Software section). Next, in the search box (underneath the "Find a PHP Extensions and Applications Package" heading, type in "zip" and click the Go button. On the next page, you should see a listing for Archive_Zip - simply click on the Install link on the right hand side.
You'll then probably need to activate Zip Archive
If you’re using WHM, you can enable ZipArchive in WHM by doing the following:
Log in to WHM
In the search bar (top left), type in “Apache”. You will notice an item called “EasyApache”. You could have version 3 or 4 listed. I used Version 3 for this tutorial. Click on EasyApache
There will be a ** DEFAULT ** profile displayed. Click the gear icon on the right
Do not change any settings on the first page that appears, simply click on “Next Step”
Again, simply click on “Next step” and do not change the PHP version
Click on the “Exhaustive Options List” button at the bottom of the next page
Scroll to the bottom of that list and enable the “Zip” checkbox
Click on “Save and build”. Follow the prompts thereafter.This will take about 5 minutes. On the last prompt, click “Close” and you should be good to go!
