Avada Builder Quick Start Guide

With the release of Avada 6.0, we introduced 『Fusion Builder Live』, an awesome companion to the traditional wireframe builder. In Avada 7, Fusion Builder Live was renamed to Avada Live.

Learn More About 『Avada Builder vs Avada Live』,The Avada Builder Creation ProcessRegardless of whether you are editing with the traditional Avada Builder wireframe editor, or Avada Live, the creation process is the same. You always start by creating a Container. Then you add columns to the container, and then finally, add Avada Builder elements to the columns. This makes your content easier to organize and allows for maximum compatibility. To get a full description of the building process, see the 『How The Avada Builder Works』 link below.

Cloning, Copying & Moving Elements in Avada Live

To make it easier for you to copy and move your page content around in Avada Live, you will find a range of clone, copy and move functions.
Read on to find out more about how to work with content in Avada Live, or watch the video for a visual overview.,CloningIn Avada Builder, you can easily clone any of your page content. Cloning an object is making a duplicate copy of it. Whether it is a Container, a Column, or an Element, the cloned object is then placed immediately after the original object. This is the main difference between cloning and copying. With copying, the object is held in memory on the clipboard, but with cloning, it is simply duplicated and inserted.
There are two ways to clone objects in Avada Builder. The first one is to use our right-click functionality. This is available in both the Back-End and Front-End Builders, and allows you to select from a range of options. Simply right-click over your desired Container, Column, or Element and right-click. This brings up a contextual menu, and Clone is one of the options available.
With Parent and Child items, it should be noted you can clone either the child or the parent (which includes all the children). In the example below, I have right clicked over the Parent Counter Boxes, and so I would be cloning the entire row of Counter Boxes.
The second way to clone an object is to choose Clone from the Container, Column or Element Controls. When you hover over an Element Control, you will see a range of icons. One of these is the clone icon. Simply click that icon, and the object will again be cloned and inserted immediately after the object cloned.

Get Avada,CopyingCopying an object is to copy the underlying code and hold it in memory on the clipboard. Copying is only accessible from the Right-Click function in Avada Live. It is similar to Cloning, but different as well.
When you copy a Container, Column, or Element, you are essentially copying the code to the clipboard. If you then right-click on a different part of the page, you can then paste the copied object into a new part of the page. It』s the equivalent of cloning an object and then dragging it to a new place on the page.
When you copy an Element you can also paste this into text-based areas as well, such as a Widget or Slider input field, etc.,MovingYou can also just move an object in Avada Builder. Any time you see the clenched hand icon, you can drag the object you are hovering over, and grey guidelines will appear showing you where you can drag it to. When you drag it to a place where it can successfully be moved, the line turns blue and you can let go.
What you need to be aware of is that you can』t drag a container into a column or element position, so not every place you try to move objects to will work. Consider what you are trying to move carefully and you will have much more success.
You can also hover over the live controls of any specific element and choose the Move option. This is sometimes more useful for selecting specific elements in amongst many others.
In the example below, I am moving an entire column up above the column above. You can see the line to the left of the top column has turned blue, which lets me know I can place the column there. Because they are both full-width columns, the moved column will be placed above the other column.

Avada Builder Right Click Options

A small, but awesome feature, that was added back in Avada 5.6, is the ability to manage your Avada Builder Elements, Columns, and Containers through a right click menu.
When you right click within the Avada Builder, or within Avada Live, a contextual menu appears, with options for you to edit, clone, save, remove, copy, and paste elements. This provides easier element interactions and improves your workflow efficiency. Continue reading below to know more about the options available in the Avada Builder right click feature, or watch the video below for a visual overview.
Right Click Feature MenusThe Avada Builder right click feature gives you largely common choices for the various assets.

Avada Builder Element Generator

The Avada Builder Element Generator allows you to add Avada Builder Elements directly from the WordPress editor. You can use this tool in a variety of ways. It lets you insert Inline Elements into your text content, and you can even insert Elements inside other Elements!
You can access the Avada Builder Element Generator in the WordPress Editor toolbar, which means you can access the Element Generator in any Element that has a WordPress Content Editor, such as the Text Box, Title, or Checklists Elements to name a few.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The Avada Builder plugin must be installed and active in order to access the Element Generator.,How To Use The Element GeneratorStep 1 – Activate Avada Builder, or Avada Live.
Step 2 – Insert a Container on the page, then select your desired column layout.
Step 3 – Insert any element that has a WordPress Content Editor by clicking the 『+ Element』 button on any column. For example, the Text Block element.
Step 4 – Click the 『Edit Settings』 icon on your chosen Element to bring up its options window.
Step 5 – On the WordPress Content Editor toolbar, find the Element Generator which is represented by an Avada Logo icon.
Step 6 – Clicking the Element Generator icon will bring up the Elements window. Here, you』ll find the Inline Elements. You can also insert standard Elements inside other Elements, but please keep in mind that some may not be compatible with each other. For example, you might insert the Tab Element, and then add 3 tabs. Then inside each Tab Content area, you might click on the Avada Builder Element Generator to add a Woo Featured Product Slider Element. See the Featured Products at the top of the home page on the Classic Shop Demo for an example of exactly this usage.
Step 7 – Select your desired element to bring up the options window. Configure the element and then click 『Insert』 to insert it into the WordPress Content Editor.
Step 8 – Click 『Save』 on the main element to save all your changes.,How To Use The Element Generator In Avada LiveUsing the Avada Builder Element Generator in Avada Live is essentially the same process.

The only difference is that the editor will be in the Sidebar, unless you have changed your preferences to edit Elements in a freestanding dialog.
