When we upgraded to the latest version 2.0.7 today we get this error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function request_filesystem_credentials() in /home/content/58/9066858/html/_sites/infrontweb/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-upgrader.php on line 1113

The staging site is: http://infrontweb.ifwstaging.com We can go int PHPmyadmin and switch the theme and then the site and WP admin loads for us.

Can you please help ASAP?

Got it, replying now. Thanks!

Thanks for all the help and timely updates. You guys are the Best!!!

Thank you very much :) You can help us out by giving us a 5 star rating! Visit your downloads tab and click on the 5 stars next to Avada, then refresh the page to make sure it was accepted.

Thanks again!

I really like your theme and it can work well with our desired layout. But, I would like to make some changes to the top – add an extra black top header with some “Login here” link etc. and a “Sign-Up Now” button that also stays on top when scrolling. Maybe the whole top-bar thing can stay on top??

Is that possible?

Hi :)

Yes its possible, I’ve seen other users do this. But it would require adding the code for that, which you would need to do on your own since we only provide support for using the theme as it comes and any bug related issues. But if you know how to do that kind of thing, it will be an easy edit.

Thanks!

Super – then you got a new customer within a few days. I will find a freelancer. Thanks :o)

Awesome thanks! We also have a support staff person who takes on small jobs like this, the info to contact them is on our forum in our general info thread.

Thanks!

How to change the Title Tag on the homepage page with this theme please ?

Hello,

I added Zopim chat trough official plugin and my website went down.

Please check URL: www.chalkexpert[dot]com

I spoke with Zopim suport they advised that its conflict of wordpress theme with their code. I tried to add manually as well but same result.

Can you check and help me with it?

Hi There :)

I’m very sorry but we can’t support 3rd party plugins. Whenever an issue like this comes up, the first thing a plugin author will tell you is its the themes fault, and its very possible that is not the case. We are not the developers of that plugin so we can’t be the ones to fix it.

With the number of 3rd party plugins available, its impossible for us (or anyone for that matter) to test them all. There will always be conflicts with some plugins because different people develop each and every plugin or theme. That is not to say its the themes fault or the plugins fault, its just how the technology is.

We have not had issues with any other plugins causing the sites to go down, its been compatible with most major plugins our users have tried.

If I were you I would try to get more information from them to see if it can be resolved. That is a paid plugin that has a montly service fee, we are apt to testing free plugins if issues arise but that one has not come up. I can add it to our list to check, but I cant promise it would be fulyl tested since it only has a 14 day trial period. And most likely its not an issue with our theme, its probably something that would need to be fixed on both ends.

I wish I coudl tell you differently :) You can always post this on our support forum and see if any other users have used that plugin, maybe they can shed some light on it. I would out “USER HELP REQUIRED” in the title to help identify the need.

Thanks!

Hi, how can i update the new version of theme, without trouble?

Hi :)

Its best to do it via FTP. All you need to do is replace the current “Avada” theme folder with the new “Avada” theme folder.

it will be located at “wp-content > themes” on your server.

If you have any troubles with it, send me an email from our profile page (email box on right hand side)

Thanks!

Is it possible to change the Title Tag for each page of the site? I know you can change the Page Title but the Title Tag remains the same throughout.

I’m keen to get the SEO working as best as possible so I need to change the Title Tags for each page.

Hi THere :)

Sure we can assist with that on our forum. We’re trying to move all support requests there, its much easier for everyone and keeps it all in one place. Comments here are not searchable and only one person can reply.

See our FREE SUPPORT section of our docs for info on signing up and using our forum. Create your free account, then post this up as a new topic.

Thanks!

Thanks for the great template. I have one problem – I cannot change the background color. I have it in boxed mode – but no matter what I do in the theme options – I cannot change the background color. I have tried both images and color – it always remains the same. http://thecommonfaith.com/

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi :)

Sorry you are having this issue. Are you using the child theme? If so, I suggest updating to the latest version of Avada, which is 2.0.7. There was a child theme issue in a prior version that caused this issue but its been fixed.

Update to the new version, if you still have the issue after that, send me an email and I’ll see whats going on. Visit the link below and find the “email theme fusion” box on the lower right hand side, send us an email with your URL, username and password along with a brief description of the issue so we can look into it for you.

Hi,

I wanted to be able to have a photo gallery that has a group of thumbnails images. When you mouse over an image and click on it, a larger version of the image would appear with all the thumbnails below with the ability to add text to the image. Here is a link from one of your clients that applied a similar gallery:

http://stratanews.net/films-2/almost-salinas/almost-salinas-slide-show/#prettyPhoto

Is this easily done with this theme or do I have to add css or some other technique?

Hi :)

Its easily done, that is just a gallery of images that use the light box. We have a page like this on our demo as well.

http://theme-fusion.com/avada/side-navigation/advanced-admin-panel/test/

All you need to do is upload your images, then choose to create a gallery out of them, the lightbox function will automatically happen.

Thanks!

Hi, Where are fonts in demo site ?

Hi :)

Do you mean the font we use in our demo site? If so, we user Museo Slab 500 for headings and menu, and PT Sans for body copy.

PT Sans is a google font you can easily select via theme options. Museo Slab is not a google font but can easily be added to our custom font field. See the “Museo Slab” section of our documentation, it has all the instructions you need to use that font, including a video tutorial!

Thanks!

Hi ,

i thinking to buy this theme but i just want to make sure i can add a Phone number to right corner on the top ?

cheers

Hi :)

At the moment that can only be done with a code customization. But we are adding that feature to a future release because many users have asked for it. We’re going to provide a second header option that contains phone numbers, social icons, etc.

All future updates are 100% free!

Thanks!

Hi, I purchased the template! It’s so cool but slow. Pls fix it! Thank you so much!

ok, many thanks! But with other themes I don’t have problems.

Avada is not a default theme, its much more feature rich :) Dont worry, we’re looking into and and will reply via email with our findings.

Thanks!

We replied via email and need your FTP info so we can reinstall the theme.

Reply back via email, thanks!

Not being very good with this theme I wonder how can get two sidebars one on the left and one on the right on the page? If I added an extra one in the admin panel I can’t see that on any of the pages…. Thank you!

Hi There :)

At the moment that is not possible, it only support a left or right sidebar. But we are adding this feature to a future release, and all updates are 100% free so you will be able to do this soon.

Be sure to check out our forum for any additional support questions you have, we are now handling all support there. Its the best place to get it, everything is searchable, any user can respond, plus we have a growing knowledge base and all our video tutorials are there.

See our FREE SUPPORT section of our documentation that came with your purchase for info on signing up and using the forum.

Thanks!

Hello i purchased the template.. But the template is so extremely slow! i contacted my hoster en they said there is a bug in the wooslider/flexslider. How can i fix this problem?!

Hi, thanks for the purchase!

As you can clearly see from our demo, its not slow.

Your hosting company is completely wrong, there is not a bug with the flexslider. You can verify this on our demo, and none of our other users have had issue with it.

If you are having issues with speed then its your internet service provider, your server, or your content.

I’d be happy to look into this for you, but I would need to see your site and be able to log in.

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

Thanks!

We reinstalled the theme for you and now your site is very quick. Check it out, its all good!

Thanks!

Pre-purchase question : Do you have top menu navigation feature(top of main navigation for extra navigation)? If yes, isn’t it awkward with the current navigation to match? Look forward to hearing from you soon.

You would need to modify the header.php file, and also add custom CSS for any new code that you add. If you are unfamiliar with editing PHP and CSS, then it will be difficult.

We do have a support staff person on our forum who takes on small customization jobs like this. But it would cost extra, its a per project fee. Our support only covers regular use of the theme and any bug related issues.

But, we are going to be adding this feature in a future release. We’re going to offer a second header design option that will allow users to have social icons and text in the header. But that will be in a future release, but all updates are free once you buy the theme.

Hope this helps!

Thank you!!!

Sure, anytime my friend ;)

Hi, I just wanted to say thanks for the great theme. I’m finding new ways to improve it every day and find that it’s been the most user-friendly theme I’ve ever purchased. Here’s a look… http://stratanews.net/ If you have any suggestions, I’m all ears.

I’ve given it 5 stars. I would have given it 10 stars if it were possible. Please feel free to keep track of the site and link it to your gallery. I look forward to seeing what others are doing with your theme; it’s a great way to get new ideas. http://stratanews.net/ is primarily an information site for investors, cast, crew and industry people, so it’s constantly being updated, tweaked, improved, etc. Thanks again.

Also, I don’t know if this helps those who may be considering purchasing this theme, but I am practically computer illiterate and know extremely little if anything at all about code, CSS, or any of the inner workings of a website. The Avada theme removes all the worry, hassle, frustration and angst that beginners (and novices) feel when designing websites. If you can read and follow directions, this theme is for you. I’ve tried a hundred plug-ins with other themes and the Avada theme makes almost all of them unnecessary and obsolete.

Woo Hoo!!!

We LOVE to hear that kind of thing, we do everything we can to help you guys so this is nice to hear :)

Thanks again my friend!

Hi, How can i change the css to allow the top menu and logo to sit side by side top aligned?

Also what would i edit to make the space inbetween the header and the page smaller?

http://newsite.jvgsound.com.au/ Thanks

Hi :)

We are handling all requests like this on our forum now. I can give you the CSS you need for this one now if you cn post on our forum for future requests. Sound good?

For menu to be moved up, use below CSS and adjust the “15px, default was “42px”

#nav ul li  { padding: 0 15px 0 0; }

To move up content below header, use below CSS, adjust the first number “5px”, default was 55px.

#main { padding: 5px 10px 90px; }

But for your slider, you could insert it via page options instead of a shortcode, that would make it closer also.

Your site looks awesome! Great job! Check out our forum if you need further assistance, thanks again!

Can I sell things with this theme?

Hi :)

Yes if you use a plugin like WooCommerce. We have not personally tested it with WooCommerce, but many of our other users have easily installed WooCommerce without issues and use it to sell products.

Thanks!

Would you recommend a different program if I was trying to setup a site to sell things?

Do you mean a different theme? If so, take a look at the eCommerce section.

Thanks!

Further to my last 2 posts (sorry but just letting you know what I’ve now tried!!), I have deleted wordpress, reinstalled through 1 click app provided by my host provider and uploaded the avada.zip again. It says it has successfully uploaded, but if I press the preview it just shows a blank white screen again (reluctant to activate it again). Have tried the same with the avadachildtheme.zip. Could there be a problem with the avada download?

Hi :)

You need WP 3.4 or higher. update your WP to 3.5, then install the theme.

If you email me your login info, I can install 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 Wordpress URL, username and password and your FTP info along with a brief description of the issue so we can reference this post.

http://themeforest.net/user/ThemeFusion

Thanks!

You’re amazing!! Wow thank you so much! Will send you an email now with details. Thanks again :)

No problem, will follow up via email :)

Not sure if it makes a difference, but have installed wordpress through my host provider using a 1-click app set up for WP version 3.2. Thanks.

Yep, update your version of Wordpress to WP 3.5.

If you ahve the white screen, then you will need to remove the Avada theme folder first via FTP. Then update Wordpress, then install Avada.
