 * Treid all of the fixes below and still get message. Also deletes file when using
   folder method. Please advise.
 * —-
    A: 1) Try to use “Import from Folder” method. Copy generated module to “./
   wp-content/plugins/wow-slider-wordpress-image-slider-plugin/import/” folder and
   click “Import from Folder” button.
 * Maybe your module has too big size. In this case “Import from Folder” method 
   will fix the problem.
 * 2) If problem will persist:
 * * Notice, that wowslider plugin works with WordPress v.3.1 or 3.2. If your version
   is older, plugin will now work.
 * * Make sure that you have “write” permission to folder “./wp-content/plugins/
   wow-slider-wordpress-image-slider-plugin/import/”.
 * * If you use PHP older than version 5, try to add following line:
    “AddHandler
   php5-cgi .php”
 * into your .htaccess file.
 * I suppose, that reason of ‘Wrong slider’ error could be old version of PHP. In
   this case problem will be fixed. This line will make your server to process .
   php files using PHP5.

 * Contacted by support within 48 hours and their suggestions did not work, but 
   I discovered the problem:
 * I was uploading the wrong file.
 * I’m not an idiot, but when I saved the project and “published” it to my desktop,
   it never appeared there, just the saved project, so I tried it both raw and zipped
   to no avail.
 * When I saved it to my Downloads folder, it appeared as just “wowslider” — and
   I almost mistook it for the installation file. In fact, I uploaded it on a lark,
   since why would it be named anything but the project name, right?
 * Anyway, I hope this saves other people exasperation by posting this …
