Regarding blog on front page with slider. Yes it was the first option i am after. i want my home page to show blog posts with slider.

I have set in settings>reading> home page to Blog, but no posts are showing on it. Only the slider and sidebar show! ?

I assume you already have posts made, right?

What happens when you insert the recent news shortcode?

Also, please hit “reply” to these comments so our messages all stay together. Its easier to track that way :)

This has to just be a setting or something, double check the reading settings, and also check the blog tab in theme options and select your type of layout and other items.

And before you put blog to home page in reading settings, were your blog posts showing up?

Please provide your URL, username and password via email. Email us from our profile page here on TF, the email box is on the right hand side.

Thanks!

Hello,

It’s me again. I just tried embedding a Vimeo video using your shortcode. But it does not respect the size I enter. Whatever the size I decide, the video takes the whole width. So I did a few tests, and your Youtube shortcode has the same problem. And I also tried with the embedded code provided by Vimeo directly, same problem. Can you reproduce the problem? Could you help me with that?

Thanks.

Hey, Great Theme!!!

Simple question, are we allowed to use the images provided with Avada as well as the sample xml file, with a final product?

Thanks,

John

Hi John!

Most of the images are just preview images from Creattica.com, they are not suppose to be used in the final product.

Thanks!

Awesome theme! I would like to know how does one enable #layerslider-wrapper .ls-shadow-top? I am using revolution slider but I cannot find where to enable that darn shadow ;) Thanks in advance!

Hi :) Thanks for comments!

For the Layer slider, just use the “Avada” skin in global settings.

For Revolution Slider, select “no shadow” in the appearance box and it will show the avada shadow.

Thanks!

Hello,

Everything is ok exept this error :

hi guys i was wondering if it is posible to have blog posts on home page, with resolution slider on front page.

i have tried but i can’t seem to get them both showing at the same time.

ty

Hi Ty :)

1. So do you want your home page to be your blog, but also have the Rev. Slider show up top?

2. Or do you want your home page to be a regular home page with slider, but also show some blog post below it?

For #1, you need to go to “settings > reading” and select your blog to be your home page. Then in the page options of your blog page, select the Revolution Slider to show up and the name of the slider you made for it.

For #2, you would need to use the “recent news” shortcode, that will allow you to show your blog posts underneath the slider.

Thanks!

Hello,

I was wondering if you could clarify what “unlimited portfolio” means in your list of features for this theme. Does it mean you can have an unlimited number of photos in one portfolio or does it mean you can have an unlimited amount of portfolios each with unlimited photos?

Also, I was wondering if Avada has the functionality for a “fancy” portfolio layout such as this:

http://yithemes.com/live/?theme=stendhal

if so would it be easy to implement or would it take a lot of custom coding?

Thank You, Michele

Hi Michele :)

It means you can have an unlimited number of photos and an unlimited number of portfolios.

You can create as many portfolio pages as you want, and have as many images/vidoes/slideshows in each one, and you can also select specific categories to show up on each portfolio page.

SO if you have Portfolio 1 and Portfolio 2, and then you have 5 different categories, you can choose to show all 5 categories in each Portfolio page, or you can choose to show 2 in Portfolio 1 and 3 in Portfolio 2.

The fancy portfolio layout would take code customization or plugin integration if that is what controls it. You could do that on your own if you are familiar with that type of editing.

We are also adding numerous other portfolio layout options in a future release so you will have more to choose from, but that wont be released until v3.0 sometime in the future.

Thanks!

Sounds awesome … how often are new versions released? Or does it vary? Is the “fancy” portfolio layout one of the numerous types of layouts to be offered in v3.0? Or is that to be determined?

The updates vary and we have not determined if Fancy will be included but I will certainly add it to our list as a possibility. Its hard to say when v3.0 will be released, but that will be our next big feature update when it does come.

Thanks!

Hi, very nice theme but I am having an issue with CSS that may have been addressed but I cannot find information on anywhere. I apologize if you have repeated this but I would really appreciate the help. Where is main.css in the directory? I can open and edit from the original downloaded package, but I cannot seem to find where in the actual directory I transfer it to via FTP. Under Avada>CSS, there is all.css, flexslider.css, font-awesome.css, and ie.css. Certain things such as changing the height of the footer, are only available in the main.css, and not found in the all.css.

Thank you for your time

Hi :)

There actually is no “main.css” file. Where are you seeing that, Firebug?

Also, any customizations you do to the CSS should be put in the CSS field in theme options, at least that is what we recommend. Inserting it in the CSS field will override any of the CSS, and will allow you to update the theme without losing your changes.

The height of the footer is auto adjusted based off of content. So when you add more content to the footer, it will become taller. You can also insert more than one widget in each of the 4 footer columns.

And you can also adjust the padding of the footer by adding editing .footer-area, for example, add this to the CSS field in theme options to give more padding. Those are the default values, change them to add more or less padding

.footer-area { padding:43px 10px 40px;}

Thanks!

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class wooslider in /home/prepare/public_html/wp-content/plugins/tf-flexslider/classes/class-wooslider.php on line 25

Yep, see my other comments. You need to read the READ ME FIRST file at root level of your download, specifically #5.

All plugins are now integrated, do not install the standalone plugins.

Thanks!

Hi

I have a new client who requires a website comprising mainly dark colours. There will be little or no white on the site.

In the box layout, is it possible to select the background colour of the box without writing code or modifying CSS? I want to ensure that any colour changes I make aren’t over written by theme updates.

Basically, I need to be able to change all the colours in the site including backgrounds, text, menus etc., by using a colour picker rather than by directly modifying any code

I did check your excellent preview but I couldn’t see the box background colour changer.

Thanks

Hi :)

The outside background area of boxed layout can be black via theme options. If you want the inside content area to be black, then that will take a little CSS modification. But is very simple, many other users have done this.

We are also going to add multiple design skins in our next big update, Avada v3.0 and the dark skin will be included. But for now you would need to add some CSS to achieve the dark skin.

And our style selector is now back on our demo.

Thanks!

Love the theme. Thanks for the updated version.

When I updated the version, there are two errors. 1. flexslider will not install without a fatal error. 2. Warning: Missing argument 2 for wpdb::prepare(), called in /home/prepare/public_html/wp-content/plugins/post-types-order/post-types-order.php on line 268 and defined in /home/prepare/public_html/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 990 shows on the site.

preparedmarketing.com—I upgraded via FTP.

Hi There :)

Thanks for the comments!

In the new v2.0.5, all of our plugins are now integrated so you should be installing the standalone plugins. Please check out the READ ME FIRSTR file you get, specifically #5 that talks about the new integrated plugins.

Both of those errors should be due to that. Read #5 in the file, and I would remove the old standalone plugins via FTP (wp-content > plugins).

I’m also pretty new to wordpress … any chance you could upgrade my theme for me? I just tried and it’s not working… I could give you access… (thanks in advance? :) )

Sure, You can email me your WP login info and your FTP info and I can upgrade it for you.

Basically, all you need to do is replace the Avada folder via FTP with the new one. That is the fastest and easiest method. If you do it via Wordpress, then you have to deactivate the current avada theme, then delete it. Then upload the new one. You cant upload the new one with the old one still there, WP wont do it since there is already a theme with the same name. But doing it via FTP allows you to replace the folder.

thanks!

Hi, can you tell me if I can customize how the side navigation behaves? I have a lot of children to each category and it’s impossible to use. I’d rather have the ‘children’ lists show up on clicking rather than on hover. I’m new to php fyi. Thanks in advance! website is http://www.team7furniture.ca/wordpress

James

Hi There :)

It looks like you are on an older version of Avada. In our new v2.0.5, the children only open when you hover on the parent, and only those children will open, not all of the children. There was a little bug in the older version that caused all children to open when hovered. The new version will fit your needs.

Download the new version and install the theme. I suggest replacing the “Avada” theme folder via FTP with the new one you get in your download. Also be sure to read the READ ME FIRST pdf file, specifically #5 about the plugins, they are now integrated into the theme so the old ones will be deactivated, but your slide content will still be there, the plugins are just integrated now so there is no need for the standalone plugins files.

Once installed your side nav pages will be much easier to use/navigate. If you still want it to happen on-click after you upgrade, then I will check with our developer to see if we can modify that for you. It just depends on how involved it is.

Thanks and Happy New Year!

Hello,

A friend bought me this theme and I’ve installed it on my Wordpress installation. So far so good…

Only, now I want to setup the slider it isn’t showed up as full width on my homepage.

Could you please explain me how to setup Revolution Slider, to make it looks like in your demo?

I cannot install the demo content, because the content on my website has already been filled in. – The .xml file overwrites the content on my website, right?

Thanks in advance, best wishes for 2013!

Regards, John.

Edit: By the way, I’ve installed LayerSlider 3.5 also and it didn’t work neither. It just showed up as 940×350…

Hi There :)

Yes, you should watch our video tutorial and check out our docs for the REv. Slider. I made a video tutorial for each slider, and the Rev Slider one is at full width. The video is included in the documentation that came with your purchase.

Each slider is different, and I suggest watching the video tutorial for Rev Slider if you want full width, but if you want a full width slider for layer slider, then you can’t insert 940px, if you do then that will give you a 940px slider. You can insert 100% for width for a full width slider, or select the “full width” slider option.

If you already have content on your site then dont install the XML file unless yo want all our extra pages and posts, etc. It will not override all your current content, it will just add in the new stuff.

Thanks and best wishes to you in 2013 as well!

Happy New Year!

Hi, our ngo site is taking much time to load… pls help us

aadaranavidya.org

Hi There :)

I’m sorry you are having a loading issue, but unfortunately that is not a theme issue. You should contact your hosting company and tell them of the issue, they will be able to let you know what is wrong. Let us know once you talk to them. But the Avada theme would not cause your site to not load.

Also, it loaded for me in 3-5 seconds in Safari, Chrome and Firefox. Which os very good, so I do not see the loading issue on my end.

Thanks!

Hello,

Thanks for this theme! Keep up the good work!

I have a few suggestions.

1) Would it be possible to add an option for a Youtube video to automatically start in HD? It’s possible by adding up “&hd1” at the end of the Youtube link. I guess you could add a field in your shortcode for a Youtube video, something like this:

[youtube id=”Enter video ID (eg. Wq4Y7ztznKc)” width=”600” height=”350” hd=”yes or no”]

2) Would it be possible to add a couple of custom shorcodes icons in the toolbar when editing a page? So we could define our own shortcodes (possibly to use a combination of your existing shortcodes) to be inserted when we click on those icons? That would be a great time saver. I always find myself copy-pasting some bits of code I often use between pages.

Anyway, thanks for this awesome theme! No problem so far :)

Thank you for the comments!

1. Yes we can possibly add that in a future release. For now, dont use the shortcode and just insert the regular embed code from Youtube or Vimeo. that will work.

2. Yes I like this idea as well and have added it to our list for a possibly addition in our next update. I cna see this being a big time saver.

Thanks for the feedback, we GREATLY appreciate it and do whatever we can to add our users requests!

Thanks!

Hello,

I want to have a full width slider like the main page on the live preview. I believe it is using the LayerSlider.

I can set it to full width with a width of 100% but when I add layers I have to choose their position from the top and the left. The issue I am having is that if I view the site in different resolutions, the pictures will shift left or right. So is there a way to set it to full width and choose the layer location by pixels from the center? That way it will always have the same location regardless of 1920×1080 or 1366×768?

I just checked the live preview, and even if I change resolutions the sublayers are always centered. How did you do that?

Thanks!

We use the REvolution Slider on our home pages. Check out our video tutorials for each slider in our documentation.

We recommend using the Rev. Slider for a 100% width slider. Watch the video tutorial, it shows you how to do it.

Thanks!

I see that the Avada theme is updated. When I bought the theme it was in version 1.0.0. So How can I upgrade Avada theme without loosing my existing contents. I have setup site with all content , pages, change css so don’t want to loose this and want to update.

thanks

Yes the child theme comes with the full theme, you only use the child theme if you use it regularly. Most users use the parent theme. And that error is due to the old Rev Slider plugin, it needs to be removed from the plugin folder.

I can take care of this for you. Visit the link below and find the “email theme fusion” box on the lower right hand side, send us an email with your Wordpress URL, username and password along with your FTP info and a brief description of the issue so we can look into it for you.

thanks!

Ok I have checked in old plugin folder and there is no RevSlider folder there but it does exist in under new framework folder.

and If I take out the following code from function.php then it seems no error

/*/ / Include RevSlider WP / /*/

$revslider = get_stylesheet_directory() . '/framework/plugins/revslider/revslider.php';
include $revslider;
// Activate the plugin if necessary
if(get_option('avada_revslider_activated', '0') == '0') {
    // Run activation script
    $revslider_admin = new RevSliderAdmin($revslider);
    $revslider_admin->onActivate();
}
// Save a flag that it is activated, so this won't run again
update_option('avada_revslider_activated', '1');

Hmmm, we cant reproduce this issue on our end. But I’m glad you got it working.

I’ll double check this as well to ensure its as it needs to be.

Thanks!
