Hi. Hoping someone can help! I just purchased Avada, followed the You Tube clip for installation, successfully installed the theme, clicked ‘activate’ and now everything is just a white screen. My dashboard has disappeared! Have tried to close and log back in to wordpress, but still only getting a white screen with no ability to log. Thanks.

Hi, it looks like you need to update your Wordpress version, right now we support WP 3.4 and higher, see that info in the right sidebar of the item page.

Thanks for the purchase!

Pre-purchase question:

Is it possible to use the portfolio without blogging? I want to show my photography but I am going to disable all blogging features. The site will not have any blogging features activated but I want to show gallery of images.

Yes, you dont need to use the blog at all, you can use or lose any of the pages or features you see on our demo.

Thanks :)

Thank you for the reply. One more question…Is it possible to install this theme and start off with it looking just like your sample and then I can make changes from there?

When you first install it, its bare bones. But then you just need to import the XML file that comes with it. But it does not include the sliders.

See our video tutorials for how to do all of that, including importin the XML file.

Where can I adjust spacing in between menu buttons at the top?

Hi There :)

You need custom CSS for that, and its best if we can see your site. Below is the CSS you need, adjust the “49px” amount, that is the default value. Change it to a lower number and out the CSS in the CSS field in theme options.

If you have further troubles, post this up on our support forum and include your URL so we can see it. See the FREE SUPPORT section of our docs for info on using our forum.

#nav ul li  { padding: 0 49px 0 0; }

Thanks!

Just added the dummy content and now i’m getting this error message, any ideas how to fix the problem?

Warning: Creating default object from empty value in /homepages/25/d342433988/htdocs/jonathanfursecom/brookemillerpt/wp-content/themes/Avada/shortcodes.php on line 702

Hi :)

Hmmm, where are you seeing that error? We would need to see this in action.

Layer Slider Image I have updated my theme and seem to have lost the really nice subtle shadows on the layer slider NOSKIN slide inages on my customer site -have I done something or has the layer slider theme changed? http://abpco.org.gridhosted.co.uk

Hi :)

That Avada skin is being added back in in 2.0.7, it was simply left out. It will be back in less than a day and you can update it.

But that is just the “avada” skin, if you are using any of their built in skins then those have possibly changed. They change them all the time.

You can edit the skin files located at “avada > framework > plugins > layerslider > skins”

Also, for future request please use our support forum. See the FREE SUPPORT section of our docs for info on signing up there.

Thanks!

Isn’t ANYONE else bothered by the fact that this theme’s slider does not load in the same time that all the other content loads, but comes late and ruins the whole first page experience? I am furious with this! I thought I was doing something wrong, but it turns out that that’s they way the theme came! Is there any way this can be fixed? I can NEVER let this site go live looking like this!

If it looks as bad as you say then you are doing something wrong.

If you are having loading issues, then its your content. Make sure your images are the exact size they need to be. ANd if you have videos in the slider, then you need to check your source and make sure they are not having issues. For example, Vimeo was down earlier today.

And I know I’ve mentioned this before, but PLEASE only post in one area, and that would be our forum.

I see you already have opened threads on our forum about this same topic, please wait for a reply there and be patient. We will respond to your request there.

Posting in two areas only slows us down and affects our support for other users who are being patient for us to respond.

Thanks

Check the forum for a response. I’ve replied there for you.

And I see a 1 second difference in loading speed, that is not an issue.

The issue I see if your content. Please reply back on our forum if you wish for us to assist.

Thanks

is there anyway i can make the theme iPad andiphone friendly like on a normal browser? i.e.: NOT a mobile version? I like the old ways better? sorry my site I am working on:http://abpco.org.gridhosted.co.uk

Hi :)

We are not having this issue on our sites, check our demo to see.

http://theme-fusion.com/avada/

Which buttons and on which page are you seeing this issue? Are they customized buttons and did oyu make customizations to the theme files?

I dont see any of our built in buttons on your pages, so I assume its because of the customizations you made.

Let me know

hello again thanks for the response. The iphone still shoes the shortcode on all the pages where we use the [/one_fourth] code and also on each page the leave a comment box is also there – when we do not want it and have disabled comments the site on iPhone http://abpco.org.gridhosted.co.uk also I still want to be able to see the site as it looks on a normal websrowser on the iphone rather than a mobile version – is this possible? I checked the ipad box but that has not made any difference.

Hi There!

What modifications have you made to the files? We do not have these issues on our demo site, you can check it on your phone or ipad.

The only way that would be happening is if something changed in the code. And thats not something we can track down after changes have been made.

I suggest replacing the CSS files on your server with the original ones you get from our download.

And to turn off responsiveness on your iphone/ipad and any other mobile device, all you need to do is uncheck the “responsive” layout in theme options. That will give you the desktop version on all devices.

if you ahve further questions then you can post this up on our forum, but I know the devs are going to tell you to replace the CSS files because that is what is causing the issue since we dont have this issue on our demo sites. Its a change that has made it this way.

The best thing to do if you want to modify the CSS is to insert it in the CSS filed in theme options, that will override all the theme CSS and allow you to change it to your liking.

Thanks!

I bought this theme and love it but on an iphone I see all the shortcodes – why is this?http://abpco.org.gridhosted.co.uk

Hi :)

I’m not sure what you mean by all the shortcodes? You can use the mobile version or turn it off.

In general options, you can select to turn off “responsiveness”, that will give you the fixed layout on all screens, which is what I think you want.

Hello, My form doesn’t run, why not?

My php version is 5.3.3-7+squeeze14 and OS is Debian 6.0.6

just submitted it and it went through, see screenshot

http://i.imgur.com/8BZDT.png

did you get email? And have you double checked your email is inserted correctly in theme options and is a working email address?

Hello, the email was not inserted in theme options… sorry and many thanks

No worries :) I should of mentioned that the first time.

Glad its working!

Thanks for a quick response. I did purchase 2.0.5 only a day or so it seems before the update 2.0.6 was issued. So it would be best to update, if I knew where to find an updatelink (sorry that I cannot see an update link nowhere)... Thank you so much

Right nwo there are no update links for themes on themeforest. The purchases have to be verified. So for now, you need to download the theme again from your downloads tab, then replace the theme folder via FTP.

In our future releases, we are adding an auto updater, but there will still be a need to verify with THemeforest database.

Or you can insert the code in the other field I mentioned, that will work the same.

Thanks!

Hey hey!

First of all great theme! feels really 21st century!

I am having problems with the sliders, which one is the easiest to use? I can’t get my slider to rotate, I’m clearly doing something wrong, can you advise?

http://www.elegance-displays.com/

Thanks

Chezza

Hi Chezza :)

Thanks for the comments! Which slider are you using? There are 2 types, animated sliders and regular image sliders.

Whichever one you use, you should watch our video tutorial that is included in our documentation. It shows you from start to finish how to make a slider and slide.

When you say “rotate”, what do you mean? It does not move through to the next slide?

Watch the video tutorial for whichever slider you are using. If using the animated sliders, we prefer the Rev Slider for its ease of use for beginners.

Thanks!

Hi. I would like to use Avada in the site located at www.swedcham.eu and be able to apply this on a WP multi-site. Is this doable without too munch trouble?

Thank you!

Yes our site is multi-site compatible. If you have any troubles with install, just email us from our profile page and we’ll help you out.

Thanks!

Hi,

How can I reduce the space between menu titles (navigation)? I want to put them in one line, but I have too many menu items.

How can I add testimonial to a side bar?

Thanks.

It certainly makes it hard then, the best thing to do is wait until its published os we can see it. You can try to insert the below CSS in the CSS field in theme options. And adjust the “30px” number if you need it closer together. Default is 49px.

#nav ul li { padding: 0 30px 0 0;}

Thanks!

Thank you for your help.

Is there any way to change the speed of Testimonial?

Yep there sure is :)

Go to the “extra” tab in theme options and input a number under “testimonial speed”. Default is 4000, insert higher for longer, or lower for shorter.

Thanks!

I’ve bought the theme and is very satisfied. One thing though. I’ve put Google analytics tracking code into theme options tracking code box, but Google analytics cannot spore the code. What is wrong? Thank you very much for all your services. Best Marianna

Hi Marianna … So glad to hear that you like the theme ;) thanks!

What version of Avada are you on? An update was done and we are now on 2.0.6, the older google analytics field in 2.0.5 had an issue and did not work.

So you can update the theme to 2.0.6, or you can insert your code in the Space before </head> field on the same tab in theme options, that will work as well.

Thanks!

Hi. Your theme looks amazing. Before I buy it i have some questions. 1. does this theme support codecanyon plugin Visual Composer for WordPress 2. do you have any discription of meassurement of your theme (like how big are bloks, how big are pictures, etc.) thank you, keep up the good work

Hi :)

1. Page builders like VC have to be integrated into the theme for them to work perfectly, so I cant tell you 100% that it will work. But I can say that we are going to be building our own page builder for Avada in a future release, but I dont have a date of when that will be. But out pages are easily build using shortcodes, its the next best thing and is very quick once you do one page. We have video tutorials to help you as well.

2. Hmmm, not for most things. But we do outline how big featured images are, etc. But that kind of thing is easy to figure out, just use Firebug browser extension to see if you need to, but anything you upload will be scaled to fit eh size for more areas, or you can insert a custom size like for featured images if you want.

Thanks!

Hi There…Great theme by he way….is there anyway I can put the social media icons in the header…Let me know, would be very gratefull…everything else is great

Thanks for the compliments!

Right now its only possible if you customize the code. But this has been a big request from our users so we are going to figure out a way to add this feature in a future release, most likely in Avada v3.0, which will be a big feature update like Avada 2.0 was.

So its coming soon and you will be able to easily select it via theme options.

Thanks!

I purchased the theme 3 days ago, and have been building a test site before going live. It is just a great theme, and I would recommend it highly.

I’m tring to reduce the space between the Header and the body, but cannot do this. Obviously it’s possible, but I am a newbie, so I’m figuring it out as I go along. My Header top margin is 0px, and Header bottom margin is also 0px. But there seems to be an unwanted white space beween logo/ main nav and my body. How do I fix this please? My site is at: http://66.147.244.206/~mcnholdi/about-mcn/

Thanks for the kind words my friend ;)

That just requires a little custom CSS. Insert the below CSS in the CSS field in theme options, its on the “CSS” tab. The first number “5px” is the one that controls that area, the default was “55px” so I reduced it to 5px and its much closer.

#main { padding:5px 10px 45px; }

That will do the trick ;)

And we would greatly appreciate it if you could give us a rating! Visit your downloads tab on Themeforest and find “Avada”. Next to it are 5 stars, click the amount you want to give (hopefully 5!) then refresh the page to make sure it was given.

Thanks again!

Great aftersales service, I must add. Thanks for the tip, it worked! No issues. Site looks amazing.

Woo Hoo!

thanks for the comments and please dont forget to rate the theme for us! Visit your downloads tab and give us a 5 star rating!

thanks!

Hi everyone,

I bought this theme and i would like to recommend it to every one interested in building a website without knowledge of php or html.

It is very convenient and the customer service is very reactive.

I will say it in French “Bravo” for this work !

Wow! thanks for the testimonial! We GREATLY appreciate it ;)

Something that helps us a lot is to give us a 5 star rating. Visit your downloads tab here on Themeforest and find the Avada purchase, next to it are 5 stars, click them all for us! Refresh the page to make sure it was accepted too.

And thanks again, we appreciate fearing this and are pleased to provide the support and care our users need!

Thanks!

Has anyone suceeded in installing this theme for a WP Multisite installation? We get Error 500 when acitvating the theme. (it works fine when we test on single WP installation.)

Hello :)

No we have not had that error, our test sites run multi-site and I know of at least a few other users who run it without issue. I installed the new v2.0.6 earlier today for a user on multi-site.

Have you checked your PHP logs? We can certainly look into it 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 WP URL, username and password along with your FTP login info and a brief description of the issue so we can look into it for you.
