 * When I click the Duplicate button, a new slideshow is created but everything 
   is blank. Tried disabling plugins but that didn’t help.

 * Can see a screenshot here. Shows both that there ARE 16 slides and also no slides.
   Some of the settings were copied but there are no actual slides in the duplicated
   slideshow.

 * Are you seeing only a blank page? If so, Please try and turn on debug mode.
    1. Log into your server via SSH or FTP.
    2. Edit the wp-config.php file using SSH or your FTP client.
    3. Near the bottom of the file you’ll see the following:
        `define('WP_DEBUG', false);`
    4. Change the WP_DEBUG value to true
        `define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );`
 * I’d also like to know what your PHP and WordPress are.
 * After logging into your WordPress admin, go to Tools > Site Health > Info > Server.
   There you’ll find the PHP version on which your WordPress site is currently running.

 * WP 5.9.3
    PHP 7.4.29
 * By “blank” I mean that the settings get duplicated (such as width and height 
   and slider type) but that no slides are duplicated. Screen looks identical to
   creating a new slider.
 * I turned on debug mode and refreshed the duplicated slider and no errors are 
   visible.

 * I tried duplicating a slideshow on my test site and it seems to worked fine.
 * Please try deleting the duplicated slideshow then try to duplicate the slideshow
   again. Please also make sure that all the other plugins are deactivated during
   this test and see if it will work out fine this time.
 * Let us know how it goes.

 * Have tried about four or five times now, including with other plugins off and
   its always the same.
