Any reason that after the update the responsive mobile version does not work anymore? I don’t have that box checked in the options.

Hi There,

Responsive mode works, see our demo.

You need to have the “Responsive Design” box checked if you want the responsive layout. Leave it unchecked if you want the fixed layout.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Hey guys,

i installed the theme on http://www.handyvergleich-info.at . Where can i configure the nice header menu?

Thank.

Best Regards from Germany!

Yes it sure is depending on the slider you use. The Layer Slider and Slider Rev both have width and height fields. The flexsldier and Themefusion slider both adapt to the height of your images.

Pick the slider you want and watch the video tutorial, it will be very helpful.

Thanks!

Thanks. Everything works more than awesome :-)

Woo Hoo!

Thanks and please dont forget to rate our theme for us!

recent_posts thumbnail=”yes” title=”yes” meta=”yes” excerpt=”no” columns=”1” cat_id=”” /recent_posts is the code on my column. For some reason it didn’t copy right. (brackets removed because themeforest didn’t like the code)

Cool, I’ll take a look shortly :)

You sir, win the internets :) I was using the blog ID which was 3, and not the slug. Thanks for your help.

Thank you :)

Dont forget to rate our theme for us on your “downloads” tab!

Two things.

I have this site – http://69.174.115.17/~bbhrout/ which is using the newest version of Avada uploaded last night. And I had to redo a few things on my site, but now I have this 20px or so gap above the site which I can’t find in the css. Also one the home page I need to add in the ability to exclude a category from the Recent Posts area.

This is the code on the column – recent_posts thumbnail=”yes” title=”yes” meta=”yes” excerpt=”no” columns=”1” cat_id=”“

Thanks for any and all help.

Hi :)

For the category on the shortcode, you can only specify a category to show, you cant exclude one. So you can choose to show all by not inserting any id, or you can insert a single id to only show one category. This is something we can maybe add in a future release, which would be the ability to add more than one category, that would give you ability to exclude a category. You could add all the categories except for the one you want excluded.

Unfortunately with the customizations you’ve made, its hard ot say where the gap is coming from. You would need to go bck through your CSS and see what is causing that. Its most certainly caused by the new top bar with social icons. I looked with firebug and could not see it.

Thanks!

I cannot get my Recent Tweets to come up in footer. I triple checked my Twitter ID was entered correctly. What am I doing wrong? www.elevenwirelesstest.com

Do you have a How To on updating the theme? I downloaded it and read the Read Me file (saved all my current options and custom CSS in a text file) but now I’m not sure how to actually update the theme. Do I somehow delete the old one and install the new version regularly?

Nevermind – just found the how to on the theme-fusion forum. Thx.

Wonderful, thanks! And in our next version of Avada, we are including an update feature via theme options so you can do it all via wordpress

Thanks!

This just appeared on the website this morning:

‘).appendTo(’.rev_slider_wrapper’); jQuery(‘ ‘).appendTo(’.rev_slider_wrapper’); jQuery(’.fullwidthbanner-container’).addClass(‘avada-skin-rev’); } }); jQuery(document).ready(function($) { function onAfter(curr, next, opts, fwd) { var $ht = $(this).height(); //set the container’s height to that of the current slide $(this).parent().animate({height: $ht}); } $(’.reviews’).cycle({ fx: ‘fade’, after: onAfter, timeout: 4000 }); /$(’.image’).live(‘mouseenter’, function(e) { if(!$(this).hasClass(‘slided’)) { $(this).find(’.image-extras’).show().stop(true, true).animate({opacity: ‘1’, left: ‘0’}, 400); $(this).addClass(‘slided’); } else { $(this).find(’.image-extras’).stop(true, true).fadeIn(‘normal’); } }); $(’.image-extras’).mouseleave(function(e) { $(this).fadeOut(‘normal’); });/ var ppArgs = { animation_speed: ‘fast’, overlay_gallery: true, autoplay_slideshow: false, slideshow: 5000, opacity: 0.8, show_title: true, }; $(“a[rel=’prettyPhoto’]”).prettyPhoto(ppArgs); var mediaQuery = ‘desk’; if (Modernizr.mq(‘only screen and (max-width: 600px)’) || Modernizr.mq(‘only screen and (max-height: 520px)’)) { mediaQuery = ‘mobile’; $(“a[rel=’prettyPhoto’]”).unbind(‘click’); } // Disables prettyPhoto if screen small $(window).resize(function() { if ((Modernizr.mq(‘only screen and (max-width: 600px)’) || Modernizr.mq(‘only screen and (max-height: 520px)’)) && mediaQuery 'desk') { $("a[rel='prettyPhoto']").unbind('click.prettyphoto'); mediaQuery = 'mobile'; } else if (!Modernizr.mq('only screen and (max-width: 600px)') && !Modernizr.mq('only screen and (max-height: 520px)') && mediaQuery ‘mobile’) { $(“a[rel=’prettyPhoto’]”).prettyPhoto(ppArgs); mediaQuery = ‘desk’; } }); });

What is this, and how can I get rid of it? Website: 777Advisors.com

I have now posted this again in the support forum. I have not changed anything to the website recently, I have not updated anything and I am not using a child theme. As far as I can tell, this came completely out of the blue. Please provide help as soon as possible!!!

Thanks for posting it there. Something had to change though, that kind of thing wont just happen. We’ll figure it out though, no worries.

Thanks!

I just showed those errors to our developer and he said you should reupload the theme, it looks like some files were missing and not everything was uploaded.

Do a reinstall of the Avada theme folder.

Hi, Avada is awesome!

For now, we only have one issue: How can we achieve, that the iPad does not triggers the responsive mode in portrait orientation?

Any help appreciated. We do have knowledge in PHP/HTML/CSS and that stuff. So explanations can be technical :)

Kind regards Markus

Wonderful … so what else did you modify that made it work? Deleting that code worked for our demo.

Thanks!

I ended up with this css/media.css: http://paste2.org/p/2719708 After removing the iPad section, I also had to touch the ”@media only screen and (max-width: 940px){” which would then apply for the iPad portrait.

Awesome, thanks for replying back!

Enjoy the theme!

Hello, I see a question above about Testimonials in a “slider mode”.

My question is about setting up testimonials as a widget on a side bar. Is it possible?

Thank you, love exploring the theme so far.

Yep it sure is :)

Just use the basic text widget, and insert the testimonials, like below.

[testimonials]

[testimonial name="Borchard" gender="male" company="Crucio Theme"]To anybody thinking of buying this theme – buy it! [/testimonial]

[testimonial name="Flygirly" gender="female" company="Imperio Theme"]I would like to extend a special thank you for your excellent support. [/testimonial]

hi, how can I set the testimonials to “slider mode”?

Do you mean have more than one that slides in and out? If so, all you need to do is include more than one testimonial and wrap it in a [testimonials] tag. Like below.

[testimonials]

[testimonial name="Borchard" gender="male" company="Crucio Theme"]To anybody thinking of buying this theme – buy it! [/testimonial]

[testimonial name="Flygirly" gender="female" company="Imperio Theme"]I would like to extend a special thank you for your excellent support. [/testimonial]

Hello there!

I have purchased the Avada theme and have a question about the [recent_works] link. I would like to use the [recent_works] link but without the Image Rollover. If I turn off the Image Rollover in the theme I cannot click on the images to get redirected to the page. What do I have to change in the [recent_works] code below, to enable the linking:
$works = new WP_Query($args);
                    while($works->have_posts()): $works->the_post();
                    if(has_post_thumbnail()):
                    $html .= '
  • ’; $html .= ‘ ’; $html .= get_the_post_thumbnail(get_the_ID(), ‘related-img’); $html .= ‘ ’; $html .= ‘ ’; $html .= ‘’; $html .= ‘’; $html .= ‘’; $full_image = wp_get_attachment_image_src(get_post_thumbnail_id(get_the_ID()), ‘full’); if(get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), ‘pyre_video_url’, true)) { $full_image0 = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), ‘pyre_video_url’, true); } $html .= ‘’; $html .= ‘

    ’.get_the_title().’

    ’; $html .= ‘
  • ’; endif; endwhile; $html .= ‘

    This is actually easy to do and is a theme option. Go to the theme options and click on the extra tab, you can turn off image rollovers there.

    But that will turn them off throughout the site, if you only want them turned off on the recent works shortcode, then that is another story. That would be considered a customization which may or may not be an easy fix. You would need to post this up on our support forum and see if they can provide the answer. Another suer may also be able to help.

    Hi there, Two more questions. Can the height of the masthead be changed at all? (my logo is quite tall)

    The homepage examples you have are great. Can I continue to add more and more rows of content if I wish? Or is it limited to the three additional rows of content I see in the examples?

    Thanks

    Yes it sure can, we have theme options to allow you modify the top and bottom header margin and also the nav height. Nice and easy :)

    And you can add as many rows of content as you wish, there is no limit on any of the pages to do that.

    Thanks!

    Hi, I’m looking at the ‘Header options section’ and I’ve tried adjusting the height but it doesn’t reflect on the site? Please advise

    Thanks

    Just tested it on 3 sites and its working, make sure you are inserting “px” after the number.

    If you still have trouble with it, post up on our forum where our developer can get your login info and investigate. Also, make sure you dont have any plugins activate that are causing conflict. All the options in theme options have been verified as working so something else must be causing it. Either way we can assist you on the forum and get it figured out.

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    I have loaded the Woocommerce theme into Avada Responsive template however its pages are loading into a “posts” template. I need it to load to the “pages” templates I have set.

    Any ideas?

    Honestly I’m not sure, we have not tested it with WooCommerce ourselves and do not support it because of that. But I know other users have done it without that issue. Many users have implemented it pretty easily, hmmmm….

    You could try to post this on our support forum and see if any user who has done it will respond.

    I need to setup my portfolio based on the “category” of project and have the “next” and “previous” buttons only show the portfolio items for that specific category.

    Example:

    Portfolio - Websites - Identity - Print

    If a use selects Websites under the Portfolio subnav, I only want to show website projects. When the user views a particular project, then hits the “previous” or “next” buttons, it will ONLY cycle through the websites category.

    Can this theme behave this way?

    We are modifying the entire way the categories are cycled through to do exactly as you are asking. Right now it will navigate through them all but we are changing it upon user request so it will only navigate through the specified category. Once its finished we will include it in a new release, its coming!

    Thanks!

    Hi, can you please help me with updating my theme? I cant seem to upload the newest avada into my CMS. is there something I should be doing? Please help. Thanks

    Hi Kaniel :)

    You are using Wordpress as your CMS, right?

    All you need to do is replace the “Avada” theme folder with the new “Avada” theme folder you get from the new download.

    Log on via FTP and go to “wp-content > themes” and you can replace the folder there. Just drag and drop the new folder into that location, then choose to replace it when it asks you.

    Our next version of Avada will include an update feature that is done through theme options so you will not need to log on via FTP. The new version will be released later this week.

    Hi, Nice theme , I try to install using the same zip file I did download, but an error appears. it says stylesheet file missed. Thne I descompress the folder and upload just the folder vanguard and It seems everything is Ok on wordpress admin, but when I preview the site is almost a blank page with a few elements and no slide. Do you have some tutorial or simple instruction to start to modify the template? thank you

    Hi Ricardo!

    Our theme is not Vanguard, its Avada. Are you sure you posted the comment in the right section?

    For Avada, we include lots of instructions and video tutorials with your download, look in the documentation folder for the index.html file.

    Thanks!

    When will this theme be IE10 compatible?

    Currently testing it so very soon. But only the release preview has been released and not the full version ready for the market. But we’ve only noticed minor things that need adjusted and they are being fixed now.

    Thanks!

    Thank you for great Pre-Sales support. I am sold!

    Woo Hoo! Glad to hear it, thanks for the purchase, we appreciate it!

    Be sure to check out our documentation and video tutorials then visit our forum for support. All info is in our docs file.

    Thanks again!

    Hello, I spent hours on the internet and I only selected two themes for my final choice! I love the minimalist design and the possibility of developing a blog with your extended functions and meets my needs. I have a few questions …. 1 is it possible to remove the graphics bubble that show the categories or the blog or the promo … I wish it was white … I like minimalism … 2 is it possible to put a logo larger and more space between title pages and images home? 3 is it possible to put a thin line just below the page title … 4 I made a test of your theme on my iphone and it was not optimized at all … not responsive. Is this normal? you want please check with the demo ThemeForest? Its very imoportant for me. 5 on day do you think u will update automatically, I’m not good with all download … and I lost the day whenever 6 it is a video site for food and cooking I can sort recipes by theme? So much for the moment, sorry for my english, I’m french … but whaou i love your theme beautiful night Agnes

    1. Yes that is the page title bar and you can insert any image you want, or choose to have no image and use a color.

    2. The blog box? I’m not sure what that is. But you can select any color for the background in boxed mode.

    3. I’m sorry I dont know what you mean exactly. Yes you can easily add buttons to the site with shortcodes

    4. Record the blog? You can have video posts for blog or portfolio, but Im not sure if that is what you mean

    5. Yes you can not have those two things

    Thanks

    3 i mean…a button for going to the top of blog when you are down 4 is it possible to rate the vidéos? thanks

    Oh you mean like “back to the top”. Our theme does not come with one of those, but you could add one.

    No our videos cant be rated on blog posts.

    Thanks!

    I need to know how to exclude a post category from the home page. I have the following code on the page – recent_posts thumbnail=”yes” title=”yes” meta=”yes” excerpt=”no” Any help would be great. The category id is 6 and the slug is – hr-outsourcing-success-stories

    Hi :)

    You would need to update to the newest version of Avada. In v2.0 and higher, we added the ability to specify a specific category for the shortcode. It now looks like this …

    [recent_posts columns="3 or 4" number_posts="4" cat_id="" thumbnail="yes" title="yes" meta="yes" excerpt="yes" excerpt_words="15"][/recent_posts]
    

    So you can specify a specific category to show up and also use 3 or 4 column.

    Download the latest version of the theme, and please, please, please read the READ ME FIRST file that comes with the download. It has important info about updating.

    If you have any further questions, see the FREE SUPPORT section of our new documentation for info on using our support forum. We are moving all support there now.

    Thanks!

    How do I get the update of the theme through themeforest.net?

    Visit your downloads tab when logged into your account, you will see Avada and you can choose to download it again, it will always be the latest version.

    Thanks!
