How To Set Up Google reCAPTCHA

How To Set Up Google reCAPTCHA

Google reCAPTCHA is a system that allows web hosts to distinguish between human and automated access, on areas of your website where you allow user input, such as forms. We have integrated Google reCAPTCHA into Avada, so you can minimize the amount of spam you have to deal with. You can integrate it with Avada Forms, and with Avada 7.4, you can also integrate Google reCAPTCHA into the User Login, User Lost Password, and User Register Elements.
The first step is to set up Google reCAPTCHA in the Global Options. The second is to add the reCAPTCHA Element to your Avada Form. With the User Login, User Lost Password, and User Register Elements, it is integrated automatically, so to use it there, you just need to turn the Global Option on.
Set Up reCAPTCHA Global OptionsTo configure Google reCAPTCHA, head to Avada > Options > Forms > Google reCAPTCHA.

Step 1. Register your Domain in reCAPTCHA. At this point, you will need to decide whether you want to use V2 or V3 of reCAPTCHA, as the Site and Secret Keys are different from version to version. See this document for an explanation of the differences, and this one for a general overview of reCAPTCHA V3. Note: Both, V2 and V3 are actively maintained by Google and represent different modes of reCaptcha, rather than an older and a new version.
Step 2. Fill in the necessary fields in the form. Once you register your website using the form, it will give you a Site key and a Secret key.
Step 3. Under the reCAPTCHA section in Avada > Options > Forms > Google reCAPTCHA, make your version selection and add the the Site key into the reCaptcha Site Key field, and the Secret key into the reCaptcha Secret Key field.
Step 4. Choose your color scheme (V2), or your Security Score, and Badge Position (V3)
Step 5. Determine if you want to enable Google reCAPTCHA for the the User Login, User Lost Password, and User Register Elements.
Step 6. Save your settings when done, and reCAPTCHA will be active on your site.

Depending on whether you have chosen V2 or V3, the Element options will be slightly different, as seen below. With V2, you can choose the Color Scheme, and with V3, you can choose the badge position.
For V2, the position you place the Element in the form is where it will display. This is typically directly above, or below, the Submit Button. For V3, where you place it in the form wil be reflected if you have the Inline position chosen. With the other position options, the Badge is moved out of the form layout completely.
Configure your options, and save the form.
On the front end of the form, the reCAPTCHA will show according to the version and the options set. Below is a screenshot of a form using V2, with the Light options, and below that a form using v3, with the Inline position set.

How To Set Up A Contact Page

How To Set Up A Contact Page

There are several ways to set up a Contact Page on your Avada Website. One way is to use the Contact Page template, included in Avada, and the other main way is to create a contact page from scratch, and then adding the elements you might want, such as a Contact Form, a Google Map, and contact details.
With the release of Avada 7.1, you can now design and build your own forms with the Avada Form Builder. These forms are not used with the page template method, but in conjunction with building your own contact page, they offer the ulitmate freedom for your contact page.
Read on for an overview of both methods.

This can be configured for both Avada Forms and the Contact Page Template. If using Contact Form 7, it has its own reCAPTCHA integration.
For full details on setting up Google reCAPTCHA, please see the How To Set Up Google reCAPTCHA document.,TroubleshootingHow to Fix The Contact Form Not Sending EmailsIf you are having issues sending or receiving emails from the built-in contact form, there could be a number of reasons why.
1. Please make sure you have a valid, working email address inserted in the email field in theme options on the contact tab.
2. Always check your junk or spam folder if you are not receiving the emails in your inbox. It』s possible they are being sent there.
3. The email is sent TO the email defined in theme options panel, but it is sent FROM [email protected]. If you wish to change this email address, please see the next troubleshooting section for a plugin that can help.
4. The email address set in the Global Options can be any email address, which generally works fine with most hosting environments. But since mail relay settings are complex and depend on the host to function correctly, sometimes issues arise. If you face any problem here, you might have to define SMTP for an external host using the WP Mail SMTP Plugin. If the email address in theme options is Gmail, use SMTP settings for Gmail.
5. If that still doesn』t work, you should create a valid [email protected] email address with your host.
6. The issue could be caused by mail delivery settings on your webserver. See this Google help doc for more information.
How To Change The 「WordPress@」 Email AddressWhen a user fills out your contact form, by WP default, the email you』ll get will be sent FROM [email protected]. The main reason for this default FROM address is, that a lot of hosters will only relay emails from within the same domain, so FROM addresses like [email protected] or [email protected] likely won』t work.
Most hosters will relay emails from [email protected], even if it does not exist. To be certain though, we recommend creating it, if you want to use this default address. If you want to use a different address from within your domain, WordPress offers two filters to do so. The one is wp_mail_from, which lets you set the FROM email address, and the other one is wp_mail_from_name, which lets you set a name for the address.
For further customization or cross-domain email addresses, we recommend using a plugin like WP Mail SMTP.
What To Do If Google Map Does Not DisplayThere could be a few reasons for this. See the tip below, and check our Google Maps Not Working? document for some other possibilities.
Ensure Google Maps Address Is CorrectUse a correct address, or longitude/latitude, not a Google Map embed code, . It has to be a written address or coordinates. For example, 775 New York Ave, Brooklyn, Kings, New York 11203, or latlng=12.381068,-1.492711. 
3rd Party Plugin Conflicts with Google MapsThird party plugins may be conflicting with the map feature. Please disable any plugins that were not included with Avada to see it if fixes the issue. If it does, enable the plugins one by one to find the culprit.,Creating A Contact Page From ScratchAn alternative to using the Contact Page template is to create a Contact Page from scratch. The advantage of this method, is that you have complete freedom with your layout, and can add any Elements that you might want on the page. And with Avada 7.1 and up, you can also use Avada Forms to create your forms, using the full freedom of Avada Builder.
The Elements most likely to be used when creating a Contact Page from scratch are the Avada Form Element and the Google Map Element, as well as the Title Element, the Text Block Element, the Image Element, as well as styling Elements like the Separator Element. As you can see from the example below, this method gives you the ultimate flexibility with layout and design.
Avada likes to offer choice to its users, and a Contact Page is no different. Depending on your needs, either of these methods may work for you. For more details on Avada Forms, and the freedom this tool provides, see the Forms Category documentation.

How To Set Up A One Page Site

How To Set Up A One Page Site

Avada gives you the flexibility to create a modern one page site with a scrolling menu. To get an idea of how one page sites work and look, please see our Landing Product demo here. A one page site lets you consolidate all your site』s information into one page that』s split into multiple sections. Please read below for detailed information on how to set it up.
Creating Content For One Page SitesWhen creating content for your One Page site, you』ll need to organize your content into sections and use the 『Name Of Menu Anchor』 option present in the Container Element or the Menu Anchor Element at the beginning of every section. This is so you can reference each section in your menu. Your menu will serve as a way for your viewers to quickly scroll to a section they』d like to view. For example, clicking the About menu item will automatically scroll the page to the About section.
Step 1 – Create a new page or edit an existing one.
Step 2 – Click the 『Use Fusion Builder』 button to access the Fusion Builder, then create your page content and layout as normal.
Step 3 – Once you』re finished laying out the page and creating your content, determine the different sections on your page. For example, the About section, the Contact section, and the like.
Step 4 – Once you』ve decided on the different sections of your page, it』s time to reference each section. If your section is in the beginning of a Container Element, Use the 『Name Of Menu Anchor』 option in the Container Element. If your section is in the middle of a Container, use the Menu Anchor Element.
Step 6 – If you』re using the 『Name Of Menu Anchor』 option, then simply insert the unique Menu Anchor ID for the section. If you』re using the Menu Anchor Element, click the 『Element Settings』 and enter a unique Menu Anchor ID for the section in the 『Name』 field. For example, about.
Step 7 – Click 『Save』 to save your changes, then repeat steps 4-6 and create separate Menu Anchors for all the different sections that you have.
Custom MenuA Custom Menu is important because this is how your viewers jump to different sections of your page. Instead of normal links, your One Page site』s custom menu will have Anchor Links that link and scroll automatically to each section on the page.
How To Create A Custom MenuStep 1 – Navigate to the Appearance > Menus tab on your WordPress admin panel.
Step 2 – Click the 『Create A New Menu』 link. Give it a name, then click the 『Create Menu』 button.
Step 3 – In the left sidebar, expand the 『Custom Links』 tab. If you』re missing content types in the left sidebar that you want to add to the menu, you can open the Screen Options and enable them for your menu.
Step 4 – In the 『URL』 field, enter the Menu Anchor ID you』ve assigned to a section on your page. For example, if this menu item links to your About section, then it would be about. Please note that you have to enter it with a hashtag (#) in order to scroll to the section properly. For example, #about.
Step 5 – Once you』ve added the Anchor Name ID to the 『URL』 field, enter a name for the 『Link Text』 field. This is simply the menu item』s text. For example, About.
Step 6 – When finished filling in those fields, click the 『Add To Menu』 button.
Step 7 – Repeat steps 4-6 and create a menu item for each section you have.
Step 8 – Under the 『Menu Structure』 section, you』ll find all the menu items you』ve just created. You can expand each menu item and edit its settings if you need to.
Step 9 – Don』t forget to assign your new menu. To learn how, see 『Assigning A Custom Menu To A One Page Site』 and 『Assigning A Custom Menu To A Multi-Page Site』 below.
Step 9 – Once you』re done creating your custom menu, click 『Save Menu』.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you want to create a link that lets the page scroll back up to the top, you can simply use #home, as this anchor is already preset in the theme.Assigning A Custom Menu To A One Page SiteStep 1 – If you』re creating a One Page site, you can assign a custom menu by going to the Appearance > Menus tab.
Step 2 – Select the custom menu you』ve just created from the dropdown, then click 『Select』 to load it.
Step 3 – Once you』ve loaded your custom menu, go to the 『Menu Settings』 section and check the 『Main Navigation』 checkbox. This will assign the custom menu you』ve created as your One Page site』s main menu.
Assigning A Custom Menu To A Multi-Page SiteStep 1 – If you』re creating a page similar to a One Page site on your Multi-Page site, you can assign a custom menu to it by editing the page.
Step 2 – Underneath the editor field, you』ll find the Fusion Page Options box.
Step 3 – Switch to the 『Header』 tab and locate the 『Main Navigation Menu』 option. In the dropdown field, select the custom menu you』ve just created. This will make your custom menu the menu for the Landing Page only.
Step 3 – Once finished, click 『Save Draft』 or 『Publish』.

How to Fix portfolioID=xxx url Showing in Single Portfolio Item URLs

How to Fix portfolioID=xxx url Showing in Single Portfolio Item URLs

If you are using the Fusion Builder Portfolio Element, and you follow one of the links to a single portfolio item, you have probably noticed ?portfolioID=xxx (where xxx is a number) is being added to the url in the browser address bar. Continue reading below to understand why this is appearing on your portfolio item links and how to change it.
Why Is ?portfolioID=xxx Appearing?This will happen if you』re constraining the Portfolio posts to a certain category / group of categories, or to exclude categories. That is done through the Portfolio Element settings in the builder. The reason why this query string is added to the URL is so the Previous / Next navigation on single portfolio posts will navigate only within your set categories and exclude any other posts. Without that identifier, it』s not possible for the theme to pass your specific category settings along to the single posts for accurate paging.
For example, let』s assume you chose to only show the Audio, Photography, and Web in a page using the Fusion Builder Portfolio Element. Once you click on one of the portfolio item links to open it in a single portfolio page, the unique identifier will be added to the link. Then, if you use the Previous / Next buttons to navigate through the posts, only items from the 3 categories you』ve set will be displayed, and any additional items that are from other categories will be omitted.
How Do I Remove It?This will only happen for links from the Fusion Builder Portfolio element that does not include all categories. You can disable this, however, it will not retain the ability to page between your specific categories on your single post page. To remove the identifier for the URL, edit your page and open the Portfolio Element settings. Then find and enable the Hide URL Parameter setting. Be sure to update your page after making these changes in the settings.

How To Convert Your Website To Avada 5.0

How To Convert Your Website To Avada 5.0

IMPORTANT NOTICE: The information in this document is only applicable if you are updating your site from any version older than Avada 5.0 and/or you are following the 『Updating Avada from Older Versions』 stepped update process as detailed here.The Fusion Builder, released in Avada 5.0, is 5x faster than the previous Fusion Builder found in Avada 4.0.3 and older. Updating from an older Avada version to 5+ will require conversion of all elements to the new syntax. The key purpose behind the conversion is to ensure that all elements (formerly known as shortcodes) are assigned with new nomenclatures; this very important step ensures significantly improved 3rd party resource and plugin compatibility.
Let』s look at the conversion process and how to trigger it manually if it doesn』t happen automatically.
Converting WordPress Multisite Installations
The Conversion Process
Triggering The Conversion ManuallyConverting WordPress Multisite InstallationsIf you』re updating a WordPress multisite installation to Avada 5.0+, the conversion has to be performed for each site individually. The Conversion splash screen will display the first time you visit the admin area of each site.
The Conversion ProcessAvada will search through your posts and pages and collect IDs of all pages using the old shortcodes and convert them to our new syntax. A backup is created of those pages and posts, to ensure all your data is fully secure. If the conversion is not performed, you won』t be able to use Avada 5.0 and above, unless you manually trigger the conversion at a later time through the WP admin area. The conversion may take some time, so please be patient and do not close the conversion screen.
Once you』ve carefully read the notice, you will need to check the acknowledgement checkbox to confirm and agree Avada should convert your posts and pages to the new shortcode syntax.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
We recommend doing a full database backup before proceeding with the conversion. If you don』t want your pages converted then please delete the new Avada folder and copy the old Avada folder to your server. If you did not backup your previous Avada theme folder, please contact Support to get a copy of Avada 4.0.3.By pressing the 「Start Conversion」 button below, you confirm that Avada should convert your posts and pages to the new shortcode syntax.
Fusion Builder Manual Conversion ButtonsTo find this section, navigate to The System Status tab at Avada > System Status in your WordPress Admin Main Menu. Once on the System Status tab, you』ll find several buttons which relate to the Fusion Builder conversion for the Avada 5 update. Please see below for details on what each button does.
Rerun ConversionIf the Conversion didn』t process automatically, you can manually trigger the conversion with the 「Run Conversion」 button which is located on the System Status page. Just click this button and the conversion process will start immediately.
Why the conversion is needed:
For Avada version 5.0, the Fusion Builder was separated from the Fusion Core into it』s own plugin. The Fusion Builder was rebuilt from scratch and subsequently all element names were refactored, as well as the page structure of containers. All of this was done to reduce the overall Avada install package, turn the Fusion Builder into it』s own plugin that is 5 times faster than before and more compatible with 3rd party assets.
All installations running Avada 4.0.3 and older will need their pages converted to the new format. If for some reason the shortcode conversion was not automatically triggered when Avada was updated, you can manually trigger the shortcode conversion. During the initial element conversion, all content is backed-up in the database securely.
Reverting ConversionIf required, the conversion to Avada 5.0+ can be reverted to the original state prior to updating. This is only possible if you updated from Avada 4.0.3 or an earlier version and will only revert pages that existed during the update to Avada 5 originally. If that is needed, you can click the 「Revert Conversion」 button from the System Status page.
More details on the Revert Conversion button
This button will undo the initial shortcode conversion which took place during the update to Avada 5. When reverting the shortcode conversion, Avada is getting the content from the backups kept during the conversion and restoring the content to its previous state with the old shortcodes. The process is similar to the initial shortcode conversion in that you』ll be taken to a splash screen and guided through a conversion, only this time the process internally is reversed.
Remove BackupsThe Remove Conversion Backups button will delete the conversion backups created during the initial update. This should only be done once you have checked your site and determined that all is well and you have no need to reference or retain the old data. To start the process of removing the backups, click the 「Remove Backups」 button.
More details on the Remove Backups button
Once you』ve decided you won』t be needing to revert your site for any reason and you are satisfied with the update results, you have the option to manually delete the content backups that were created at the start of the conversion process. Once deleted, it will no longer be possible to automatically restore the content to the pre-5.0 state. Clicking the button will start the deletion of the conversion backup data.
Once completed, only the button to manually trigger the element conversion will remain.,If you have installed Avada 5.0 prior to importing Fusion Builder page content from an older version (4.0.3 or lower), then the conversion will not trigger automatically for you. Also, the conversion trigger button in the Avada > System Status tab will not be available.
To manually trigger the shortcode conversion process and convert old Fusion Builder content to our new syntax, please follow the instructions below.
How To Manually Trigger Shortcode ConversionStep 1 – Login to the WordPress Admin Panel of your site.
Step 2 – At the end of your WordPress Admin URL, usually wp-admin/, add this string:
Copy to Clipboard?fusion_builder_migrate=1 1?fusion_builder_migrate=1After adding this string, your URL should look like this:
Copy to Clipboardhttp://www.yourwebsite.com/wp-admin/?fusion_builder_migrate=1xxxxxxxxxx1 1http://www.yourwebsite.com/wp-admin/?fusion_builder_migrate=1Step 3 – Once you add the necessary string, simply press enter to trigger the Shortcode Conversion process.
