Is there a way two swap featured homepage sliders in elegant wordpress themes?

When I've tried to do that in the past with 2 themes built by totally different people I got so many missing function and missing js library errors that I did it a different way. With 2 from the same company I would think less errors so just a lot of function code to copy and paste along with js libraries to move.

cool thanks! I'm going to try that right now

It is definitely possible to do. Your knowledge of Wordpress and the various languages involved will play a big part in how much work it will be.

Moving the frontend parts shouldn't be too much issue, its just isolating the code for the sliders and including the necessary js files. The bigger issue is how each slider functions on the backend of Wordpress i.e. the settings, images, transitions etc.

If they are integrated differently, you are probably going to have to move a bunch of functions across and without a good knowledge of how Wordpress works, it can get very convoluted very quickly. Some developers may put most of the slider code in it's own PHP include file which would make things a lot easier.

Finally, you may have to edit the CSS yourself as the slider on site A seems quite a bit larger than that on site B.

So it's possible if you are set on that particular slider but it could be a lot more effort than it's worth. It may be better using rhinocl's advice of getting 2 sliders from the same company or maybe looking for third party slider plugin for Wordpress which will require only the slightest bit of HTML editing to get working.
