Update to Avada 5.1.6 failing. I am trying to update to fix the security issue that has been notified but when I try to use the Envato Market plugin, the updater fails (it just keeps whirring around)

If I try to update the theme via the Appearance > Themes screen, then an error message is displayed, saying “Update failed. Update package not available”

Ideally I would prefer to use the auto update method instead of having to upload the theme again as I know this can often wipe out any widgets that have been set (and sometimes menu allocations too) so can you let us know when the update package will be available?

Hello @jjsolutions

The update package should always be available for you actually and you should definitely be able to update using our Auto Update method, if you are seeing that particular error please simply create a new token and then put it inside the registration tab, you can learn how to create a new token here => http://bit.ly/1GrzAgY

Once you create and put a new token you should be able to update without any issues, however the manual update method is exactly same as the Auto Update method and should not wipe out anything at all such as menus and widgets, it only replaces your theme files.

I also see you have a valid support account so if you have any issues still please simply create a support ticket and our team will gladly assist you.

Are versions prior to 5.1.5 affected by the vulnerability ? And wheres the info regarding the vulnerability? What can be achieved if its used by a hacker? You should release an incremential patchfix for this guys..

Hi there

We campaign tirelessly for all who use any theme, to maintain their installs and ensure that the theme is updated when due. This is simply, good practice and wise. Likewise, updating any and all plugins you have installed, should also be updated.

The other consideration and something we also constantly advocate, is to not edit your theme files directly, it prevents you from maintaining your theme. All modifications should be compliant and added to a child theme. This is also good practice. For complex code changes beyond custom CSS, then using the available Avada Hooks is the recommendation -> http://bit.ly/1l2r8gW

If for whatever reason you simply will not or cannot update your theme to Avada 5.1.6, then you can apply the manual fix for this as explained in this help file -> http://bit.ly/2qyjhxx

If you need assistance or have any further questions, please create a support ticket using he link below and our support team will gladly assist you

Thank you, we look forward to helping you!

Thank you, MB

Thanks. Thats by far a better reply :) Whats the risks of not applying the patch? Any break intos or related?

Hi there

There is no risk, providing you implement the manual changes correctly.

Thank you, MB

You’re not going to get transparency from these people. They are blowing sunshine, refusing to admit that they released a half-cocked patch that fails a high percentage of the time.

Hi there

To make assumptions and accusations is pointless and not going to help anyone. We have posted this same information to your various comments here. To accuse us (ThemeFusion) of trying to make money off you is silly.

Here is info will help you, please read it through:

1 – Any reply given here by our team is not canned

2 – You are not registered for a support account on our system. Please do register for a support account as explained here -> http://bit.ly/1LKKsrw – if for whatever reason you can’t, then please send your info to support@theme-fusion.com so that we can assist you further from there

3 – Envato introduced item support in September 2015 -> http://bit.ly/2qY2BAF – we as theme authors did not and had zero control or influence over that. In fact, we (ThemeFusion) had decided to Grandfather for support all of our own customers that had purchased Avada prior to 1st September 2015 as explained here -> http://bit.ly/1SwDKpe – No one os asking you for money to fix anything. Please read the above. Are you Grandfathered for support?

Thank you, we look forward to helping you!

Thank you, MB

Talk is cheap, friend. Provide me with support to solve the problem created by your software defect. Up to know, you keep sticking your hand out asking for money before you help me. It is a very shitty thing to charge paying customers more money before you will help fix a defect in your software.

Hi there

You are simply not reading what I am replying with here, my goodness. All the vitriol is so unnecessary. Allow me to say it again:

“if for whatever reason you can’t, then please send your info to support@theme-fusion.com so that we can assist you further from there” [SIC]

Posted several times now in reply -> http://d.pr/i/NSE4a

Please send your email and if you have a gripe about paid item support, please email Envato directly -> http://bit.ly/2cP0Xbm

Envato introduced paid support, we theme authors did not!

Thank you, we look forward to helping you!

Thank you, MB

Hi, you guys should check the child theme code, it’s not working now.
<?php function theme_enqueue_styles() { wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css', array( 'avada-stylesheet' ) ); } add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles' ); function avada_lang_setup() { $lang = get_stylesheet_directory() . '/languages'; load_child_theme_textdomain( 'Avada', $lang ); } add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'avada_lang_setup' );

Hey @llityslife.

We would love to check this out for you, however we need to take a look at your setup in this case so please open a support ticket and our team will gladly assist you with it.

hello there, could you let me know why I can not update this LayerSlider WP https://prnt.sc/f9ifaf ?? Thanks!

I got it, I need to download the plugin myself, thanks!

Awesome! Thanks for letting us know :)

メールが来たのでアップデートしたら、プラグインのエラーがでた。 困ったので解決しようとサポートに連絡しようとしたら、お金を要求された。最悪のテーマです。買うのは止めたほうが良いです。

Hello @Alitomo

The update process should actually be smooth and there should be no plugin error at all when trying to update, please make sure that you are following all the details mentioned in here for updating your theme if you are updating from a very older version => http://bit.ly/2pPNngZ

If only the plugin installation is failing please try and install your plugin using our alternate FTP installation method that you can read here please => http://bit.ly/2eahzvS

Read the “Fallback Method For Premium Plugins” area from above.

However if you come across any issues please create a support ticket and our team will gladly assist you with it.

Hello, I’m wishing to update to 5.1.6, but I when I do, an issue arises in conjunction with woocommerce 3.0.7. The problem is that the [products] shortcode stops displaying the product description and makes all products displayed using this shortcode broken. It’s as if the “post-content” div is just gone.

I would be happy to use 5.1.5, which may not have this issue, but it appears it’s not available for download.

Please help with this issue, as I don’t wish to get hacked using my current vulnerable Avada version, but also can’t afford to have my main functionality broken. Thank you very much.

Please disregard this, the issue was a hook I had added to my functions.php. When I updated the theme, it overwrote the hook. Thank you, Great Theme!

Awesome to hear! Thanks for letting us know :)

Hello It seems like a challenge that many people are having with the Fusion Builder not showing up. I have no way of updating content on my site. There is no way to edit.

I have followed every thread: 1) Disabled all plugins 2) Turned Advanced settings on and off (All different ones including fusion builder) 3) Updated theme to newest version 4) Tried different browsers and computers

Literally tried everything in the forums but nothing works to get fusion builder operating again.

Please can you shine some light on how to get this working again. I have outdated content on the homepage of my site and causing questions daily.

Thank you for your time.

Hello @sdweb10

If the fusion builder is not coming up for you it must be disabled from the settings for your post types, please go to WP Dashboard > Fusion Builder > Settings and make sure that you have enabled the Fusion Builder for all your post types, you can read how to do that here please => http://bit.ly/2nHvag1

However if the issue persist for you please simply open a support ticket and our team will gladly assist you.

Hello Yes I have done that a number of times. Unfortunately it appears Fusion Builder is just not working. I turned fusion builder off and on. I unchecked the posts and pages and my fusion builder code showed up again so that I can view in the traditional Wordpress editing and then as soon and I enable it again there is nothing just a blank screen.

I tried to submit a ticket but it wont let me unless I activate support again. I have numerous copies of your theme and will be purchasing more in a few weeks. I have rarely if every submitted a support request to you and would greatly appreciate if you can assist in getting this resolved asap. Thank you for your time.

Hello!

You should be grandfathered in for support if you have bought numbers copies, do you know what the oldest one is? Any purchase bought before sept 1st, 2015 allows for free support. So if you have a purchase before then, please insert that into your account settings once you log in, this link: https://theme-fusion.com/support-desk/ ... click on “purchase codes”.

If the builder button is not showing up, are you sure all of these are checked? http://d.pr/i/yscpB

On your previous copies, does FB work? If so is this a new server? Maybe your requirements are low, check the system status tab under Avada menu and look for items in red. However the button should still show up.

Also, disable all other plugins besides Fusion Builder and Fusion Core, clear cache and try it again.

The builder works for sure, so it has to be something minor like the above, just a matter of figuring out which one.

Thanks

Hello there, my experience about upgrading theme. Today I got email about XSS and a CSRF vulnerability. I download theme, upload and portal was totally destroyed. Then I updated it over the Dashboard (registering key etc..) but on end I found out: it was cache plugin (different settings as before). Also this plugin doesnt work anymore: Remove Query String From CSS & Javascript In WordPress (it also helps to improve your google page speed score, Yahoo YSlow score). Same function inside WP rocket doesnt work, too.Otherwise updated theme work fine, congrats to the team for upgrade. You can check it on https://marcelino.si

I have only one wish for future: if we can get vulnerability info faster, not with one month delay from Envato team.. Have a nice day, regards

I want to add that I’m reverting to the old, insecure version, because at least it shows a website. I’ll be switching to a different theme ASAP. These folks took my money and gave me crap in return. Very unhappy.

I’m sorry you feel that way. Before completely reworking your site, I would suggest trying what I recommended above. There are 300,000+ Avada users and most of them do not have issues when updating. For those that do, the above outlined steps will almost always solve the problem.

I hope this helps!

-Weston

Stop with the passive-aggression. How about being sorry that you published flawed software and that your bosses are money grubbers who want to fleece customers who have already paid.

I don’t give a damn about the vast number of other happy customers. That doesn’t help me at all. I want MY site to work properly. I already paid you good money and you gave me a defective product. I am definitely not going to give you more money now.

Patched to latest version and site is all messed up. Really bad upgrade process folks… You should go find a new line of work, because software development isn’t your cup of tea.

The upgrade is worse than the vulnerability. Don’t trust these people.

Hello there,

Which version of Avada did you update from and what issues are you experiencing?

The update process is actually very straight forward. However there are some common issues that can occur depending on your server setup specifically regarding PHP configurations. If you do an update through the WP admin, then you need to be sure you have your server limits configured to the recommended levels.

We have a complete guide covering the theme update process and recommended areas to check before updating. You can find this here > http://bit.ly/1H8JGzo

We have a guide which is specifically designed to cover updates in Avada from older versions and how to resolve common mishaps which may occur on various server setups.

You can find that guide here > http://bit.ly/2pPNngZ

1. You sold software with a security flaw. 2. You issued a patch that broke my site. 3. You’re asking me for more money to can fix your two prior screw ups. 4. You’re posting canned crap.

No, sunshine, you didn’t help at all.

It looks like the support team currently offers ready-made answers to customers who are genuinely concerned because they think that upgrading Avada may ‘break’ their website. How serious is the vulnerability please?

Hello,

It’s not recommended to stay on any version of software that has an exposed security issue because you would be opening yourself up to risk.

If you’re on a lower version than Avada 5.1.5, then it’s recommended that you update your theme to get the security fixes.

We have a post addressing the security fixes as well as a link to our update guides to help the process go more smoothly regardless of your current Avada version. You can find that here > http://bit.ly/2qyjhxx

Attempting to update to the newest version totally crashes wordpress.

I got the email about the security vulnerability. When I attempt to upgrade it says that it failed due to an internal server error. Then I can’t load my site and get the “Briefly unavailable for scheduled maintenance. Check back in a minute.” message.

My host helped fix the problem. I then updated Wordpress and all plugins. After that I attempted to update the theme again and the same thing happened making the site inaccessible with the same message.

Hello,

I’m sorry you’re having trouble with the update. Internal server errors are vague errors which could be coming from anything that causes the server to stop working as it should. This could be a conflict with a plugin, a server limit being reached during the update and causing a fatal error or possibly the update process being truncated by the server.

If you’re updating from a 5.0+ version of Avada, please see our update guide and be sure to follow all the steps recommended in our post here > http://bit.ly/1H8JGzo

If you’re updating from an older version of Avada, then also reference this guide > http://bit.ly/2pPNngZ

Note, you currently have a valid support account. If you need further assistance, we would be happy to check into this for you. So we can better assist you, please submit a ticket through our support center. We’re unable to officially provide support through themeforest comments, as it’s primarily for basic questions about the theme and presale inquiries.

Congratulations on the template, done very well, and now I want to create a recipes site, congratulations again and again.

Hi there

Thank you very much for your kind words :) We sincerely appreciate it :) The best is still to come :) <3 <3

Thank you, MB

Hello, i received an email from Envato saying your theme again has vulnerability and that i need to immediately update to the latest version. I have contacted you over years multiple times regarding inability to update the theme from the WP admin panel. You can check out my tickets in your support system. You have never provided a solution for it. Now i don’t have access to support forum and i’m not interested to pay for it only for you to update my theme version because i have to be able to do it on my own from WP admin panel. Since it is your fault, not mine, i kindly ask you to assist me with updating the theme to the latest version without me purchasing your support. Thanks

Hello,

I unfortunately have to use the very old AVADA 3.9.4., because an earlier update of the theme had completely destroyed my website a few weeks ago. The problem is that the old ThemeFusion Core Plugin version 1.8.4 had integrated the Fusion Builder Plugin.

The new AVADA also needs the new ThemeFusion Core Plugin. The new ThemeFusion Page Builder plugin is outsourced and to be installed separately.

But the new Fusion Page Builder cannot understand the code of the old Fusion Builder that I use. All elements created with the old Fusion Builder were destroyed.

Just because I had a backup of the old ThemeFusion core plugin and the old Avada theme, I was able to recover my webpage.

Now I get an urgent Security Notice to update the AVADA to the latest version because of a security vulnerability. But how? My website will not survive this. It will be destroyed again.

Please help me.

By the way: I am not willing to renew support. It is a very serious security case and I cannot update the theme, only because the new AVADA seems not to work with my website and because the version of the Page Builder Plugin are incompatible.

Hope you understand my problem in English.

Regards Frank

Hello Frank,

If you haven’t done any customizations to your theme / Avada required plugins code, then the update is most certainly achievable for you. It’s actually a very simple process which is for the most part completely automated.

The issue that you describe seems to simply be that the conversion of your shortcodes didn’t take place automatically. That could be due to a plugin conflicting with the process or due to low server limits which truncated the update. In any case, you can simply trigger the conversion manually through the Avada System Status page.

I can understand not wanting to renew your support license. Although you won’t have access to hands on assistance / intervention from our support team, you do still have access to our complete documentation of the theme. We have a guide which is specifically designed to cover updates in Avada from older versions and how to resolve common mishaps like the the conversion step being missed that I referenced above.

You can find that guide here > http://bit.ly/2pPNngZ

If you do encounter any trouble and need assistance from our support team, we would be happy to help out. You can find information on renewing your support license here > http://bit.ly/1RIS2nj

One of my clients uses WooCommerce but cannot currently upgrade to the newest version of WooCommerce due to incompatibility with one of the core plugins they use with it. However, they need to be able to update to the newest version of Avada since there is the security issue. Will they be able to update to the newest version of Avada without worrying about needing to be on the newest version of WooCommerce (version before 3.0). Thanks

Hello,

Thank you for your question. Avada is backwards compatible with the core WooCommerce version as far back as WooCommerce 2.4.X > http://prntscr.com/f9fbdm

As long as they’re not on an earlier version than that, you shouldn’t have any issues with updating Avada and keeping an older version of WooCommerce.

Note, you currently have access to our premium support service. If you have any questions regarding Avada, feel free to send in a ticket and we’ll be happy to check it out for you.
