Enabling Your Home Page

This is the first page that your website visitors will see when they arrive on your site. Setting up your home page is the same as setting up any other regular page, except that you need to specify in the WordPress settings which page will be allocated as your site’s static front page. You can change your site’s static front page at any time as often as you wish.
How To Set Your Home PageStep 1 – Login to your WordPress Dashboard and navigate to the Settings > Reading section.
Step 2 – Select A Static Page option.
Step 3 – Choose the page you want as your home page from the Front Page dropdown list.
Step 4 – Once done, click ‘Save Changes‘.

How to Set Up Parent and Child Pages in WordPress

The WordPress page structure does not have to be a flat structure (i.e. all pages on the same level).
WordPress allows building a page hierarchy by creating child pages under a parent page. The WordPress admin interface has the option to mark a page as an independent page, or to put it in a parent-child relationship. The page hierarchy can have an infinite level of subpages, but it’s rare to see more than 3 levels of pages, as this can complicate navigation.
Setting a Child PageYou find this option in individual pages. It is not available on posts or other custom post types. This page hierarchy is useful for Side Navigation Templates and the Vertical Menu Widget, as well as providing a clear structure to your pages in the back end.
To create a child page, simply create or edit a page in WordPress like you would normally do. Under the Page Attributes meta box, choose a parent page from the drop down menu.
Note: If you do not see the Page Attributes menu, then please click on the Screen Options button on the top right hand corner of your screen. It will display a menu where you need to make sure that Page Attributes is checked.

Make Menu Items Open In A New Window

You can set main menu items to open up in a new window using the default WordPress option ‘Link Target‘. See the the steps below.
1. To enable the option, please login to your WordPress Dashboard and navigate to Appearance > Menu. In that new section, click the Screen Options button in the top right corner of the screen and select ‘Link Target‘.
2. You will see a new option in each menu item called ‘Open link in new window/tab’, check that box for the menu items you want to open in a new window/tab.
3. Once done, click ‘Save Menu‘.

WordPress 5.3 And Avada Custom Image Size Generation

With the 5.3 WordPress update, a new way of saving additional image sizes to the database was introduced for when images are uploaded to the library. Unfortunately, this adjustment was not compatible with the internal naming convention for Avada’s custom image sizes.
The problem will only occur for images that are uploaded to WordPress 5.3 and versions of Avada prior to 6.1.2. For these images, Avada’s custom uncropped image sizes are not available as a choice in the sizes drop-down option in the media library when you insert them to a post or page. And some of the responsive image sizes won’t be available. Updating to Avada 6.1.2 resolves this issue.

The 3 Types Of Images And How They Are Affected

Images uploaded to your media library before updating to WordPress 5.3.

Images uploaded to your media library on WordPress 5.3, before the update to Avada 6.1.2.

Images uploaded to your media library on WordPress 5.3, after the update to Avada 6.1.2.
Images Uploaded Before Updating To WordPress 5.3Nothing to do here. These images work as expected, even for Avada versions older than 6.1.2. And of course, they also work fine on Avada 6.1.2 or later.
Images Uploaded To WordPress 5.3 Before The Update To Avada 6.1.2As mentioned above, the problem for images uploaded on WordPress 5.3, but prior to the update to Avada 6.1.2, is that you can’t select Avada’s custom uncropped image sizes in the sizes drop-down of the media library when you insert them into a post or page. In addition to that, some of the responsive image sizes won’t be available.
Unfortunately, this can’t be auto-fixed through a theme update, as WordPress has already stored the data incorrectly in the database. Still, there is an easy way to correct this. Install and activate the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin, then go to the Tools > Regen. Thumbnails tab in your WP Admin sidebar and choose ‘Regenerate All Thumbnails.’ Doing this regenerates all images and adjusts the Avada custom image sizes to their new naming conventions. Once the regeneration is complete, it is business as usual.
Images Uploaded To WordPress 5.3 After The Update To Avada 6.1.2Nothing to do here. All images uploaded to WordPress are generated as expected on your Avada site.

WordPress Menu Not Saving / Displaying All Items

Let’s say you have created a nice menu for your theme, saved it and then viewed it on the front end, only to see that a portion of your menu items are not showing. Or maybe even the entire menu does not show. You have assigned it to the main menu, and saved it, but then it drops out and will not show on the front end.
What happened? Did the menu items disappear? Is this a theme issue? Or a plugin issue?
The answer is no, it’s a server configuration issue. Please read this detailed article written by CHRIS MAVRICOS (better known as SevenSparks) to help understand why this can happen, and what you can do to fix it: http://sevenspark.com/wordpress/menu-item-limit

Pre-made vs Custom Widget Areas

Avada includes 5 areas of the theme that are widget ready (which means they can display widget areas). Some of these areas already have pre-made widget areas for you to add widgets into, such as the Footer Widget Areas, the Sliding Bar Widget Areas, and the Blog Sidebar. Other areas do not have pre-made widget areas and can display both pre-made widget areas, or any custom widget area you create.
Read below for further information on the differences between pre-made and custom widget areas, and the 5 Widget Ready Areas in Avada.
Pre-Made vs Custom Widget AreaPre-Made Widget Area – Pre-made widget areas are already created widget areas for certain areas of the theme. Therefore, you don’t need to create a widget area for them, you can simply add widgets to the pre-made widget areas directly. The footer columns and sliding bar columns both have pre-made widget areas based on the number of columns you choose to display. You can set how many columns to display for the footer in the Avada > Options > Footer panel, and in the Avada > Options > Sliding Bar panel for sliding bar.
Custom Widget Area – Custom widget areas are widget areas you can create yourself in the Appearance > Widgets tab on your WordPress admin panel. These custom widget areas can be assigned to sidebars, mega menu columns and the Avada Builder widget element. In addition, sidebars, mega menu columns and the Avada Builder Widget Element areas can also take pre-made widget areas if you wish.
