multiple custom modules configuration not visible in backend

Question

We installed Theme files & sample database, according to theme demo link it should display multiple modules features [slider, displaying New products , Featured products ] under configuration as below image.

but that configuation part is not visible. is there any way i can display that configuration part in admin with help of source code as it contains all module code related to slider, new products ..etc....

app/code/local/Magentothem/ - Newproductslider ,Bannerslider ..etc

app/design/frontend/default/ma_aries_man/template/magentothem/newproducts/newproductslider.phtml

app/design/frontend/default/ma_aries_man/template/magentothem/featuredproducts/featuredproductslider.phtml ..etc

            </groups>
        </newproductslider>
    </sections>
</config>

Edit

now i successfully installed theme & i can see all modules configuration, but 2 modules result not displaying in frontend [home page], they are [ New Product slider, Featured Product slider ]

@SHPatel under General > web > design, i set the theme...... — Baby in Magento, Commented Nov 23, 2016 at 18:51
First try to logout and login again. If that does not work check under the System->Permissions->Roles if your role has access to the Magentothem section of the config. If you don't find anything there, post the contents of etc/adminhtml.xml in the question. — Marius, Commented Nov 23, 2016 at 21:40

There are several possible reasons a configuration section is not showing:

Module is disabled. Try to check in app/etc/modules/Magentothem_Newproductslider.xml that it is enable. If you can't find this file, theme providers some provide one single module configuration (like Magentothem_All.xml where every module included in the theme has got its configuration in it.
Module output is disabled. Go to System > Configuration > Advanced and ensure that the module output is not disabled for this module.
The user does not have the permission to access that resource. Ensure you're viewing the configuration as a full admin to remove that possible issue from the list of problems. If you can see it as a full admin, change the role of your normal user to add the module configuration to your allowed resources.
Related to the point above, the module does not have a proper adminhtml.xml in it. This file is used to declare the ACL resources. Sometimes it is merged directly in the config.xml you will have to check that.
You're using compilation and did not recompile. Go to System > Tools > Compilation and recompile.
Flushing the Magento cache, logging out and logging back in sometimes help fixing system configuration access issues.
Incompatibility with your Magento version / installed modules. Try to download a fresh install of Magento (same version as the one you're using) and install the theme on it. If the same problem persists, the module is probably not compatible with this Magento version. If the problem disappears, that means it's either an incompatibility with your other modules or a database issue. To narrow that down, try to disable all the custom / 3rd party modules installed one by one and refresh the configuration after each time you disable a module to find which module is causing a problem. If after disabling a module, the configuration section appears that means you've found the module incompatible with the theme. If that still does not work, it's most likely a database issue and you'll have to debug the workflow manually to find the culprit.

@BabyinMagento you're welcome

Try this,

<tabs>
        <magentothem translate="label" module="newproductslider">
            <label>Magentothem</label>
            <sort_order>205</sort_order>
        </magentothem>
    </tabs>

Change to this

<tabs>
        <newproductslider translate="label" module="newproductslider">
            <label>Magentothem</label>
            <sort_order>205</sort_order>
        </newproductslider>
    </tabs>

and section part also

Change to this

<sections>
        <magentothem_newproductslider translate="label" module="newproductslider">

</magentothem_newproductslider>

Do you have an ACL file for these settings? It should be in etc/adminhtml.xml and it should look something like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<config>
    <acl>
      <resources>
        <admin>
         <children>
            <magentothem translate="title" module="newproductslider">
              <children>
                <newproductslider translate="title">
                <title>New Product Slider settings</title>
                </newproductslider >
              </children>
            </customer>
          </children>
        </admin>
      </resources>
    </acl>
<config>
