Any update?

You are welcome!

This is a good news about dropping support for PHP 5.2. WordPress is getting lot of backlashing because of this policy.

An interesting write-up on the topic by Bruno Skvorc is available on Sitepoint:
https://www.sitepoint.com/php-tips-resources-best-practices-2015/

I am going to recommend this article to all the folks who still not willing to upgrade.

I have also changed following 2 settings on the server before taking backup:
PHP Version: 5.5.20 (previously 5.4.33)
Memory Limit: 64M (previously 32M)

Here is an update:

1. 5 default empty sliders appear again.
2. My original slider is not available.
3. I created a new slider, but it is not available.
4. I tried to delete default sliders several times, but they appear again.
5. I enabled this option in the settings and completely removed plugin:
Check this box if you would like Easing Slider to completely remove all of its data when the plugin is deleted.
6. Then reinstall it and voila! I found my missing slider in the backend. Moreover, all of the default sliders are also gone.
7. Please note that it took approximately a minute when I removed plugin.

If you need any further testing from my end, please let me know.

Let me backup and update once again. Will update you shortly.

I am using Stream (https://wp-stream.com/):

Real-time tracking for the WordPress Admin
Stream tracks every action in WordPress and takes the guess-work out of troubleshooting.

As I stated in the last post, I have already downgraded to easing-slider.2.1.4.3. I have following values in the DB:

option_name = easingslider_upgraded_from_lite
option_value = 1
autoload = yes

After update to 2.2, I have noticed some strange behavior related to Easing Slider. Detail is given as under:

1. Plugin made few default, but empty sliders named Easing Slider “Lite”.
2. Tried to delete default sliders but unable to do so.
3. My slider is no more available in the backend.
4. Stream report page is flooded by lot of activities. Stream report page screen shot
5. Few entries contain unknown Author and IP address (74.86.158.109).
6. More than 90% entries are “Easing Slider “Lite”” sliders updated.
7. Within few minutes, the “Easing Slider “Lite”” sliders updated entry crossed 500+ in numbers.

I have uninstalled this version and revert back to the old one (easing-slider.2.1.4.3). Now everything is normal like before.

Server settings:
PHP Version 5.4.33
MySQL Version 5.5.40-cll
WordPress Version 4.1

Thanks Sebastian for suggestion. It is not as powerfull as whitelable branding for multisite but I can use it for my work.
