Hello again – I have another question about images/portfolios/galleries

All your Portfolio items are set up to pull blog posts, it seems. How does a Photographer create a “Portfolio” or Gallery, of a certain subject (i.e., Gallery of Brides, Gallery of Babies, etc.) This is what a Portfolio or Gallery usually means…one subject matter per Gallery/Portfolio. When we show a Gallery of images, we don’t really need text included nor do we need a blog post associated with it.

Also, all your demo images are horizontal. All your blog posts, Galleries, sample sections only show horizontal images. As Wedding Photographers we have a lot of vertical images. Is this theme going to limit us to only showing horizontal images? Or will we have to put multiple vertical images together to form one horizontal image? Seems like a huge workaround.

Thanks for any insight.

Add on: I’ve just reviewed your video for adding Portfolio Posts and that seems to be a very confusing way to add a simple Image Gallery. A Gallery of images can be added very easily to a Portfolio Post page (when you add images you can choose to “Add a Gallery”). If that Portfolio Page then has a Gallery embedded in it, when you click on its link on the Portfolio Page, will it show the Gallery of Images associated with that Portfolio Page? This is how it works in numerous other Themes which is why I am wondering why no “Image Gallery” is shown in this Theme at all? Also, if you leave off the text links in the Portfolio Post, it should then only show the link to the images, correct? Thanks.

Hey!

All your Portfolio items are set up to pull blog posts, it seems.

Hmmm no, portfolio items are setup to pull portfolio posts, not blog posts. Blog has their own post type, portfolio has their own post type.

You can create as many portfolio pages as you wish, each with it’s own portfolio category. So you can make a new portfolio page called “Gallery of Brides” and then assign your “Gallery of Brides” category to them and only those posts will show there.

Portfolio posts get single post pages as you see on our demo. However, you can remove the link to them so it only shows the main gallery type page.

Images can be either horizontal or vertical, we have both on our demo.

I’ve just reviewed your video for adding Portfolio Posts and that seems to be a very confusing way to add a simple Image Gallery.

Portfolio items are posts. They are not blog posts, but portfolio posts. This allows you to have a much deeper, more involved descriptions and details of each portfolio item. For example, a creative agency who is putting a logo design in their portfolio, most likely they will want to put many project details about the portfolio item, which is what the single post page allows. This is standard for a portfolio.

It seems what you want is just a regular photo gallery, not portfolio posts. You can do this as well and either user the default WP gallery which inserts a group of photos at one time: http://codex.wordpress.org/The_WordPress_Gallery Or you could use any of the 3rd party gallery plugins that are available like NextGen or Envira gallery.

Thanks!

Never mind. I didn’t have the fusion core plugin activated.

Ah yep, I just replied with that too :)

Thanks!

I just installed this theme and I’m having trouble importing the demo content. I didn’t have any errors during installation. When I view the page, all I see are the shortcodes. Then I created a test page using your code from your site and it does the exact same thing. I don’t know what’s wrong and I have a client that needs his website up ASAP. I’ve worked with this theme before and never had any issues.

Hey!

Most likely you have not installed our companion plugin called Fusion-Core. http://theme-fusion.com/avada-doc/install-update/plugin-installation/

Can I have an email box as a builder element? THanks

Hey!

We are going to be adding one natively to the theme in a future update. For now, you can use a free plugin like Contact Form 7 to insert a form on any page using their shortcode.

Hello,

I have one big question for this Avada theme. On the website: http://theme-fusion.com/avada/

In the header section, the original Avada logo is dark-grey with green and you use that green color though the whole website.

But when I look in the footer there is a diapositive logo but why is that colon ( : ) an other green then the rest. But the last ‘a’ is also the original green.

Can you explain that?

Jerôme

Hey Jerôme!

The logo is an image file, not regular text. The header has a white background so the “Avad” has to be dark gray to show up. In the footer, the background is dark gray so the “Avad” has to be white.

Thanks!

But why are there 2 different colors of green in the footer logo?

doei

Because it’s an image file and it seems two colors were used by mistake. An image can be any amount of colors, so it appears the green dots were not the same green as the last “a”.

Thanks

This is the best theme available on Themeforest. So many features, all of which are neatly arranged and categorised. Very easy to use and customise. The author has done the right thing by focusing all of his attention on 1 theme, this is a great idea!

Hey Craig :)

Thank you for these kind words, we appreciate hearing this feedback! If you have not already, please rate Avada on your downloads page.

Thanks again!

+1 *(I have the same problem, and even if you choose 0.5 this problem persist)

Hi , I would like to make the transparent my header , I know your offered opacity set to 0 then the header background area height disappears and the slider below it will show behind the header in its place. I dont want it to be happen ,what I want is to remain the header area height and my image background will show behind of the header bot the video.

Thanks, Nina

And one more thing is missing in the theme options! you have all the color styling one might want but one is missing “Active menu color!!” or background color for active menu!

How come you missed that basic option??? and I think it’s a must have if you have so many options to style yet missing this important one.

Please update this theme already. it has a lot of bugs that was reported! but never fixed and now with the WP 4.1 update and WooCommerce update there is even more errors and bugs.

Hi,

1. For the header transparency, you can use one line of custom CSS change it to use its own height:

.header-wrapper, .header-filler { position: static !important; }

2. Please post your idea into http://ideas.theme-fusion.com. We’ll be sure to give it due consideration. While this option might be obvious to you, this was never requested before.

3. You must be on an older version of Avada/Fusion Core. All reported bugs are fixed with an update. We accounted for WP 4.1 changes in Fusion Core 1.6+. There are no Woocommerce bugs reported and the latest version is compatible with the latest version of Avada.

Thanks!

For those having issues with the Fusion Core Builder. Here is the solution. The problem is that when you click on Fusion Page Builder, drag an element onto the page and attempt to edit it, a gray box will pop up and when you click again, it will close the gray box.

Looks like this http://i.imgur.com/RkKIV6q.png (screenshot credit to spcinnovation)

1. Activate another theme on WordPress Dashboard > Appearance > Themes. 2. Delete Avada theme, you will have to click on the picture preview, and there is a small delete button on the bottom right. This will not delete your data or settings. 3. Redownload Avada theme from ThemeForest, this should be version 1.7.1. 4. Upload Avada theme to WordPress and activate it. 5. Go to plugins and delete Fusion Core. 6. There should be a warning message on the plugin page asking you to install Fusion Core. Install it again and Fusion Core will be installed to latest version which is 1.6.1. By default, it will not show you that you need an update, you have to delete it and reinstall. I hope I helped.

Hi,

Yes, the new content editor changes in WordPress don’t work with an older version of Fusion Core since we accounted for its changes in Fusion Core 1.6 or later.

So anyone who is on an older version with WordPress 4.1 is going to have problems. We have already covered this in a KB post here: https://theme-fusion.com/knowledgebase/avada-3-7-fusion-builder-editing-screen-grayed/

Thanks and Happy Holidays!

Okey Thank you , May I ask to delete the required plugin most specially the slider plugin that Im not using?My sites takes so slow…

Oh and another one ,so sorry would like to askif there is a way for the lightbox that it will enlarge enough with one click?http://customcarbuildersusa.com/recent-projects/

The only required plugin is Fusion Core, that is needed to use the theme features like shortcodes, portfolio, fusion slider, etc. The other plugins (layer or rev slider) can be turned off if you are not using them.

For the lightbox, it is enlarging with one click for me on your site. Maybe I misunderstand, but please post this on our forum as well and our staff will check it out.

Thanks!

I am COMPLETELY unable to edit my site. Whenever I try to edit one of the “Builder Elements” by clicking the edit button it popups but is unclickable. I have attached a screenshot. I have tried multiple browsers as well as a different computer but nothing works. what is going on here?

please see screenshot in this url: http://i.imgur.com/RkKIV6q.png

Hi there, one more question. I know how to do hotspots in html over an image – but how would you do it in avada? it would be a map inserted into a page with each state linking to a different page in the site.

thanks

For that, you’ll need to use custom HTML/CSS/JS to achieve that.

This is not a built-in feature in Avada and there is no different way to do it in Avada.

Hi there, I have bought avada before, I have a new client that wants to use avada with a countdown in days only, for each slider in the header region of the site. so there will be images in the header slider region with text and the amount of days left, for each slider image (there will be about six). I can use the countdown pluggin (maybe even the pro version). But will I be able to insert this pluggin into the banner region and display it over the images in the slider with other text too?

Hi,

Does the countdown plugin offer a shortcode? If so, you can use it within revolution or layerslider.

Thanks and Happy Holidays!

Yes it does, thank you!. One more question – does the contact us page still have problems with google maps? Im noticing on one of my clients sites that when i activate the pointer marks and the location information pop ups, that the map behind it disappears. Do i need to put in the code from your page https://theme-fusion.com/knowledgebase/avada-3-5-google-maps-shortcodecontact-form-map-working/ to fix this? thank you

Hey!

If there is ever an issue with google maps it can be due to several reasons. See this post: https://theme-fusion.com/knowledgebase/google-maps-not-working/

However we recommend you to be on Avada 3.7 or higher, we redid some aspects of it. See this post here: https://theme-fusion.com/knowledgebase/avada-3-7-google-maps-loading/

hello have you another solution about Slider Revolution who is Plugin with Critical Vulnerability ? thank you

Hi,

Revolution Slider plugin vulnerability was fixed in Feb 2014. If you’re on Avada 3.4 or later, you should have Revslider version higher than 4.2 installed which is safe.

For more info about it, please read: http://www.themepunch.com/home/plugin-update-information/

Thanks!

can make something like this same header transparency wideer sample http://avicor.ca with your Theme please let me know thanks

Hi,

If you make your header transparent from page options or theme options (styling options tab), you can make header go behind the slider.

Thanks and Happy Holidays!

Hello,

I have a problem with the outline of the images in my galleries. I can not remove it!

Best Regards, Karl Gillebert

Hi, could you please tell how to make layered slider as shown on your demo – http://theme-fusion.com/avada/thumbnail-nav/
I am unable to get the same styling. please help.

Hi Vortex,

This is a LayerSlider. Please install and activate LayerSlider and then use this export file to import it:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/tzv0p24rx2eocfo/LayerSlider_Export_2014-12-28_at_11.19.51.zip?dl=0

You can then use this example to customize the slider as per your liking.

Thanks and Happy Holidays!
