How To Use The Off Canvas Builder
The Off Canvas Builder, released with Avada 7.6, allows you to create a huge range of Off Canvases for your Avada website. An Off Canvas is basically a panel that is positioned outside of the viewport that appears when activated. With this tool, you can create a wide range of popups, sliding bars, and even flyout and push menus.
To get started with Off Canvas, head to Avada > Off Canvas. Here, you create your Off Canvas items, as well as configure how they work, and the conditions under which they operate. Read on to find out more about this very versatile builder.,How To Create A New Off CanvasThe Off Canvas Builder is found at Avada > Off Canvas, from the WordPress sidebar, or from the menu on the Avada Dashboard. This is where you create and manage all your Off Canvas creations.
To get started, simply give your new Off Canvas a name, and click on Create New Off Canvas. Depending on whether you have Avada Builder Auto Activation turned on or not in the Avada Builder Options (Avada Dasboard > Options > Builder Options) you will be taken directly to the Avada Builder, or alternatively, the WordPress editor. In that case, simply click on your choice of builder, either Avada Builder, or Avada Live to start building.
In either case, the first thing you see is a choice to either Add a Container and start building from scratch, or to open Avada Studio. and import a prebuilt Off Canvas.
Avada Studio is a great place to start. There is a range of prebuilt Off Canvas items here you can use, and these come fully designed and pre-configured. Simply select the one you want and it will be imported ready for you to customize. This is a great way for you to familiarize yourself with the different types of Off Canvases that can be made, and also how to configure them.
If you choose instead to build an Off Canvas from scratch, simply select your starting Container/Column combination and get building. You have the full range of Avada Design Elements to build with.,Building And Configuring An Off CanvasCreating an Off Canvas comes in two concurrent stages, building and configuring. The content comes from the Builder, and you can add anything at all into your Off Canvas using the Avada Builder. You have the full range of Design Elements at your disposal. The Off Canvas Builder can be used to create Popups, and a range of Sliding Bars and Flyout and Push Menus, but the reality is that these are simply off canvas panels, and you can add anything you want to them.
Configuration happens via the Off Canvas Options, found in the Avada Page Options panel position. In Avada Live, this is on the Sidebar, and is active while you are building, and in Avada Builder, it』s at the bottom of the page. As mentioned, the configuration and build process happen concurrently, as some of the Off Canvas Options will also affect the look of the Off Canvas.

How Background Images Work in Avada
We regularly get support tickets asking why a background image is cropped or zoomed in. So here』s some information on how background images work to help explain those situations when a background image doesn』t look like you expect it to.
It all starts with the concept of image aspect ratios. This is the relationship between the width and height of an image. So if an image is 1200px by 800px, it has a 3:2 aspect ratio, in that if its length were 3, its height would be 2.
In this document we will look at adding background images to container and then columns.,Container Background ImagesWhen you add a background image to a container, this is what happens. Images set as backgrounds on containers span to the height or width of the container while maintaining their aspect ratio; effectively, always filling the container. But containers by themselves have no height at all, so it』s the content (or padding) that determines their height, and the Site Width setting that determines the width (or the screen it』s being viewed on with the 100% width template).
ExampleLet』s take a simple example to illustrate. In the diagram below, the image is 1200px wide and 800px high. Let』s also say that the site width has been set to 1200px in the Layout > Site Width option, and that the container height is exactly 800px, either through content, or padding. In this case the image displays fully, at its native aspect ratio.
Now if the container height was increased to 1000px, either through content or padding, then the image will now display at 1000px height, and keeping its aspect ratio, 1500px in width. So here the image will be slightly zoomed in, and slightly cropped on both sides.
And here』s a real world example. The container below is completely empty (no column or elements) and has padding set to 200px in height. The image set as a background image is 1200px x 750px, and so grows slightly to the width of the site layout (in this case 1300px) and (on desktop at least) we can only see 200px of its height, in the middle of the image, as this image has a Background Position of Center Center.

Get Avada,But on a mobile device, something else happens. The site goes into responsive mode, and because the width of the device is so much smaller, but the padding of 200px remains, we get an image that is 200px high and at that screen width, we are seeing almost the whole image again. This is just how responsive web design works.,100% Width TemplateThings are also a little different when you add a background image to a page with the 100% width template. Then, it』s the user』s screen size that comes into play. With a large resolution monitor, for example a 4K monitor, which has a resolution of 3840px x 2160px, then images might have to upscale considerably. It』s always a balance between image file size and pixel size, and so a typical approach is when uploading a container background image on a 100% width template, is to ensure the image is at least 2000px in width, so the upscaling is kept to a minimum.
ExampleHere』s a final illustration, showing an example of a container on a page using the 100% width template, on a large monitor. The image displays at the width of the screen resolution (minus any scroll bars etc) and the image will be cropped in height unless the container height equals the images』 native aspect ratio. So for an image with a 3:2 aspect ratio and sized at 2000px, the container height would need to be around 1333px for no cropping to occur. So in most situations, some cropping will occur, and the image will be zoomed in. If your image is very pixellated in a situation like this, it』s because the uploaded background image isn』t large enough to upscale on a large monitor without pixellation.,Column Background ImagesColumns are a bit different than containers. They grow to the size of the background image inserted. Below is the same image inserted as a column background, into an empty 1/1 column. The column adjusts its height to show the image in full. In this case, as the image is only 1200px wide and the site width is 1300px, the image is also slightly zoomed in.
If we resize the columns, then the image displays smaller, always showing the full image. However, if our column content increase past the aspect ratio of the image, then the height of the image will always fill the column, and the image will be cropped on the width to keep the image aspect ratio intact. See two examples of that below.
ExamplesOn the left hand side, the column has simply been resized to 1/2. The image remains full size, and is just scaled down to fit the 1/2 dimension. On the right hand side, however, content has been added that pushes the height of the column past where the apsect ratio of the image would make it. And so the height of the image is maintained, while the image is zoomed in on the sides, cropping the image, but keeping the aspect ratio intact.

There are a lot of scenarios we haven』t covered here, but the principles are the same. Web design can be complex, but with an understanding of the principles at play around the theme and how it interacts with images, then you can achieve a satisfying result every time.

Option Network Correlations
In Avada 5.0 we have added a new feature called Advanced Option Network Correlation. This option allows you to intuitively see the relationship between global Avada Theme Options settings and your individual Element Options and Page Options settings. When you edit a single page or post, in the Avada Options section of the page, you will see what has been set for the corresponding option within the Theme Options. No more switching back and forth or trying to remember what you previously set in the Theme Options. Continue reading below to learn how this feature works.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This feature is only available on Avada version 5.0 or higher.Advanced Option Network CorrelationAvada has the most advanced options system of any theme on the market! With Avada you can set global options which affect your entire site using Avada Theme Options, but also the flexibility to fine tune your settings on a individual page or element basis by using Avada Page Options and Avada Builder Options.

This feature is located in all Avada Builder Options and Avada Page Options that have a corresponding option in the Avada Theme Options. Simply click the link in the description to be redirected to the corresponding global option in Avada Theme Options, or with the knowledge of what is set globally, change the Avada Option to override the Theme Option.
Using SVG in Avada
Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) files can be selected and used in Avada as regular images, logos, icons, and more. SVG files are scalable, usually much smaller in file size, and can also be animated using CSS. For more information on SVG files, please follow this link.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please keep in mind that for SVG to work properly in the Logo and other Global Option areas, you will have to set the width and height dimensions in the file itself, before you upload it. If there are no dimensions set on the SVG itself, then it will not appear.For use in content areas, if you prefer, you can use CSS to size any SVGs.
Please see below for the various aspects of SVG creation and usage.
Creating an SVG Logo with Adobe IllustratorStep 1: Open Adobe Illustrator & Create a New Project
To create an SVG file, we need to use a program that can create and manipulate vector artwork. The industry standard for this is Adobe Illustrator.
Step 2: Create Your Icon or Artwork
On your new project canvas in Adobe Illustrator, create your desired artwork or icon, then resize the artboard to fit the size of your icon/artwork or resize your icon/artwork to fit the size of your artboard, either one is fine. Ensure the artboard is slightly larger on all sides than your icon/artwork.
Step 3: Create Artwork Outlines
The next step is to create outlines of your artwork. To do this, with your icon/artwork highlighted drag a rectangle around your entire canvas, right click, and click on Create Outlines.
Step 4: Combine Your Outlines Into A Single Shape
The next step is to combine your outlines into a single shape, you can do this by navigating to the Pathfinder window in Adobe Illustrator, with all of your outlines selected (you can use the same method as Step 3, drag a rectangle around it all with your mouse), click on the 「Combine Shapes」 Shape mode in the pathfinder window. Under the Shape Modes: Heading it』s the first icon on the left.
Step 5: Save / Export As SVG
Finally, now your artwork is created, sized, outlined and combined, you can export it as a Scalable Vector Graphic (SVG). Depending on your version of Illustrator, the saving method will be different. For Adobe Illustrator CC, choose File > Export > SVG (read more at Adobe』s Support Site). In previous versions of Adobe Illustrator, navigate to File > Save As and select SVG. Note: You can save with all of the default settings.
Resizing an SVG file in the codeStep 1: Open the SVG file in a text editor
An SVG file is just code. Open the file in your chosen text editor.
Step 2: Locate and edit the dimensions
Towards the top of the code, you will see the pixel dimensions to display the svg at. Change these to your desired size, remembering to keep the aspect ratio the same as the original file.
Step 3: Save your file
Step 4: Upload your file
Now you can upload the svg directly into your media library, and use the file path from there.
Adding an SVG via the Code Block ElementStep 1: Accessing the SVG Code
Take your .SVG file and open it up in your preferred code editor. This will show you all of the code that makes up your SVG.
Step 2: Adding the SVG Code to your Avada Website
Select all of the code from your code editor, copy it and then paste it into a Code Block element on your Avada website. Save the Element.
Step 3: All done!
The SVG you created is now visible on your website wherever you』d like it to be thanks to the Avada Code Block element. No uploading of files is required for this method. It』s what』s known as an inline SVG.
Styling an SVG with CSSSVGs are just like any other element, and can be styled just like any other HTML element.
For example, this is a 50px black circle:
Copy to Clipboard
12 3 4 5If you add a class to the svg tag, you can then target the class and write CSS to do whatever you want with it:
Copy to Clipboard.my-custom-icon {
width: 150px;
height: 150px;
}
.my-custom-icon circle {
fill: #c00;
}7 1.my-custom-icon {2 width: 150px;3 height: 150px;4}5.my-custom-icon circle {6 fill: #c00;7}And just like other HTML elements, you can write your CSS inline, so instead of you can define dimension like:
