 * Form some strange reason, I have 2 admin menu links:
 * SA Sliders
    Slider
 * I don’t know what that “Slider” menu item is for but it has the same icon. Is
   that a glitch or something?
 * Thanks

 * Nope, its probably another Slider plugin that’s been installed which uses the
   same ‘Dashicon’.
 * Have a look in your plugins for other Slider plugins, and then deactivate them(
   only if you are not using them).

 * I thought the same thing too, but I only have 1 other slideshow plugin, Meta 
   Slider, and their icon is blue and it’s named “Meta Slider” so it can’t be that
   one. No other slideshow plugins installed. I knew exactly what plugins I was 
   going to use for the site before I started coding, so planned on using this one
   and Meta Slider (ie: no other plugins were ever installed for this purpose).
 * Reason I have 2 installed: I like the Meta Slider for images alone because it’s
   easier to use, very basic and doesn’t confuse the client. Also, SA seems a bit
   harder to control, I’ve had some issues customizing it so I try to limit it’s
   use. But, I do like it a lot. We’re using it for sliding testimonials.
 * I will check the database, maybe there’s something there that can show me what’s
   going on. I have SA installed on a few sites lately, but haven’t seen a double
   menu anywhere else.

 * Could also be a slider product integrated into your current theme.
 * To test this out, activate the ‘WordPress 2016’ theme and see if it disappears–
   you can reactivate your current theme after this test.
 * Have you used Meta Slider and Slide Anything together on one of your other sites
   before?

 * That’s not it either. I custom code my themes and I don’t build in any custom
   sliders or anything at all like that, very lean coding without anything added
   to the admin.

 * Ok – there may be some sort of conflict with Meta Slider and Slide Anything. 
   Have you installed both plugins on a site before?
    (Maybe both are registering
   the same Custom Post Type names or something along those lines)

 * OMG.
 * I figured it out, was totally unexpected! Other designer I work with likes to
   use wp canvas shortcodes. Apparently they have a slider option too! Disabled 
   it and the menu disappeared.
 * So sorry for wasting your time!

 * Not a problem. Glad you got it sorted out 😉
