If you have the Layer or Revolution Slider installed, their scripts will load on each and every page of your site, even if the slider is not assigned to one of those pages. This is the default behavior of both of these sliders, and is not related to the theme. The good news is that both of them offer a way to only load the scripts on pages that have the slider on them. Continue reading below to learn how to set this feature up.
How To Configure The Revolution SliderStep 1 – Go to the Revolution Slider Dashboard from the link in your admin sidebar.
Step 2 – Along the top, you will see a menu. Click on Globals.
Step 3 – A dialog will open. Switch the 『Include Libraries Globally』 option off. In the following option, you can also choose to manually add which pages to include RevSlider libraries.
Step 4 – Click the Update button to save all your changes.
How To Configure The Layer SliderStep 1 – Go to the LayerSlider WP tab in your admin sidebar.
Step 2 – Expand the 『Troubleshooting & Advanced Settings』 section.
Step 3 – Switch the 『Conditional Script Loading』 option on.
Step 4 – Click the Save Changes button to save all your changes.
IMPORTANT NOTE: On page speed test like Google Page Speed, loading scripts on all pages can result in Render Blocking errors. Using the above option will reduce those errors on pages that do not have a Layer or Revolution Slider. However, using these options can cause other conflicts. If you see issues, it is recommended to keep them on.

Purchase Codes For Plugins Bundled With Avada
When purchasing Avada, you』ll be provided with a unique Purchase Code that you can use to receive auto-updates, theme support and more for the Avada theme. The purchase code you receive can only be used for the Avada theme, not for the bundled 3rd party plugins.
The 3rd party premium plugins that come bundled with Avada can still be used as the plugin advertises, however since they are bundled with the theme, they can only be used on your Avada site, and do not come with their own individual purchase code that allows you to receive premium support/features from the individual plugin author. We (ThemeFusion) are the ones to provide support for plugins we bundle with Avada.
The Avada purchase code cannot be used to register Slider Revolution or Layer SliderYou can only register the Layer Slider & Slider Revolution plugins if you have purchased them individually from CodeCanyon.
Although the status of the plugins state that the site is not authorized to receive updates, this is no cause for alarm. Shortly after any of the bundled premium plugins are updated, we provide the update directly from within the theme.
Below are the various areas you will see these messages. They can be ignored unless you wish to purchase the plugins individually for their own auto updates and premium author support.
IMPORTANT NOTE: As of Avada 5.4.1, Avada bundled plugins can be updated independently and outside of an Avada theme update. The update notification will be visible and can be accessed via the Avada > Plugins section.Purchase a license for Slider Revolution or Layer SliderAs explained above, you do receive both Layer Slider and Slider Revolution with your Avada purchase, and you are allowed to use both on your Avada site. However, both of these plugin creators offer auto updates, premium support, premium slider imports and more if you buy it directly from them. These features are not available when you buy a theme that bundles the plugins, to get them you must buy their plugins separately which gives you their individual purchase code.
Purchase Slider Revolution Plugin For Auto Updates And Plugin Author Support*Purchase Layer Slider Plugin For Auto Updates And Plugin Author Support** Your purchase of Avada includes a copy of Slider Revolution and Layer Slider. However, if you wish to receive auto updates, premium features and plugin support from the individual plugin authors, it requires a separate purchase of their plugin.
Slider Position
Assigning a slider via Fusion Page Options versus using a Slider Shortcode will place the slider in a different position on the page. In addition, Avada offers an option to position an assigned slider via Fusion Page Options either above or below the header, and the header can be set to be transparent. You can also set a global position for Sliders in Fusion Theme Options.
Slider Positioned Above or Below HeaderYou can choose to have the slider sit above the header, or below the header. This option is called 『Slider Position』 and can be found in Fusion Themes Options and Fusion Page Options. To set it globally for all sliders, use the Fusion Theme Options. If you』d like to set individual slider positions for each page or post, then use the Fusion Page Options. Continue reading below for more in depth information.
Slider Position Assigned Via Fusion Theme OptionsAll assigned sliders on pages or posts will always follow the Slider Position set in Fusion Theme Options located under the Avada > Theme Options > Header > Header Content sub-panel. To set the Slider Position individually for each page or post, you can do so using the Fusion Page Options located on each page or post you create.
Slider Position Assigned Via Fusion Page OptionsBy default, when you assign a slider via Fusion Page Options, the slider position will always follow the position set in Fusion Theme Options. To change the slider position for individual pages or posts, find the 『Slider Position』 option under the Fusion Page Options > Sliders and choose a different setting other than Default.
Slider Element Added To Page/Post ContentWhen adding a Slider Element to a page or post, the slider will be positioned in your page/post content wherever it is added to a column or container using the Fusion Builder. This is best for when you want the slider further down the page or surrounded by content. If you place the Slider Element at the top of the post content field, it will have the page content top padding added to it, which is set to 55px by default. The page content top padding can be adjusted globally in Fusion Theme Options or individually in the Fusion Page Options box.
Slider Position When Using A Transparent HeaderWhen assigning a slider to a page or post via the Fusion Page Options box, you can choose to make your header transparent. If you add any value of opacity to your header, the slider will be moved up to the top most part of the page and will be positioned behind the header. Most likely, you may need to adjust your slider height to accommodate the transparent header. This option works best with our default Header Layout #1. Read more about Header Transparency here.

Common Questions & IssuesSlider Alias or ID Not Found For Layer or Revolution SliderIf you already have sliders made, or something goes wrong during the import due to low server memory, its possible that our demo sliders may not be applied to the pages. You may see an error such as Revolution Slider Error: Slider with alias Avada_Full_Width not found or LayerSlider cannot be found. Sliders are applied by the Slider ID. Each slider gets its own unique ID and they are given in numerical order. If you open up a page after importing the content, and you see an error like that, you only need to edit the page and assign the slider to the page. To verify you have the sliders, go to the Layer or Revolution Slider section of your admin to see them listed. If you do not see them, then you can import the sliders separately.
Slider ImagesThe demo sliders are mainly useful to see our settings and see how we built the slides. You need to replace the images with your own because the images are not licensed for your usage. Its very important that you replace each image with your own, the slider may not work if you miss one image so be careful when using these. Check each and every sub layer to ensure it does not have a missing image.
How To Assign A Slider
There are two methods you can use to assign a slider to a page. You can assign a slider to a page using the Avada Fusion Page Option, and second, you can insert the slider via our Fusion Page Builder using Builder elements. Read below for more information on each method.
Assign A Slider Via Fusion Page OptionsWhen assigning a Slider using the Fusion Page Options, the Slider will always be displayed directly below the main menu as this is the default setting. This ensures that the Slider isn』t affected when adjusting your sites Page』s Top Padding.
By default, all slider types have the option to choose the position of the slider – Default / Below / Above. The slider type you choose will determine what Fusion Page Options are available to configure for the slider; For example: The Revolution Slider has the option to Enable / Disable Avada styles, the other slider choices do not have this option, etc.
For Revolution, Layer, Elastic and Fusion Sliders on mobile devices, there is a 『Slider Fallback Image』 field in the Fusion Page Options that lets you upload a Fallback Image which will override the slider on all responsive devices.
How To Assign A Slider Via The Fusion Page OptionsStep 1 – Locate the Fusion Page Options box below the WordPress Content Editor and select the 『Sliders』 tab.
Step 2 – Locate the 『Slider Type』 option and select your desired slider from the dropdown field. For example, Fusion Slider.
Step 3 – Once you』ve selected a slider, the options relating to that slider type will be visible. Select the name of the slider you』d like to display under the corresponding dropdown field. If you select 『Fusion Slider』, then select a name from the corresponding 『Select Fusion Slider』 field.
Step 4 – Once done, click 『Save Draft』 or 『Publish』.
Avada Slider ElementsWhen you assign a Slider Element to a page or post, via the Fusion Builder, it』ll be treated as a normal element. You can add it to Columns, save it as a Custom Content Template etc. When added to a page, adjusting your Page』s Top and Bottom Padding will affect the Slider. Lastly, because it』s inserted using an element, you can also set it』s visibility settings for mobile, tablet and desktop devices.

Step 6 – Once you』ve determined which Slider you』d like to display, you can then start configuring the styling options to your liking.
Step 7 – Once done, click 『Save』 to add it to the page.
How To Use The Avada Slider
IMPORTANT NOTE: With the release of Avada 7.0, we have updated and renamed Fusion Slider to Avada Slider.Avada Slider is our own beautiful and lean slider, developed especially for Avada. It has amazing flexibility and produces stunning results. The slider is 100% responsive, giving you full control over width and height to easily create fixed, full width or full-screen sliders. You can create both image and video slides with support for self-hosted videos, YouTube and Vimeo. You can add Title and Caption text, along with buttons, and control various styles and typography settings.
The Avada Slider consists of sliders and slides. The process is to first create a slider, and then create slides and assign them to the slider. Any slide you create can be assigned to any slider. The Slider itself is then assigned to a page, either from the specific Page Options, under the Slider tab, or directly in the page content using the Avada Slider Element.
Avada Slider is a simple and lightweight slider, and it』s not meant to compete with much more complex sliders like Slider Revolution or LayerSlider. Please follow the links to read the documentation on those if you have a more complex slider in mind. But for a simple, lightweight slider, Avada Slider is a great choice.

How To Add An Avada SliderThere are two ways to add an Avada Slider to your page. The first is through the Avada Page Options. With this method, you simply create your Slider first, and then go to the page options of the page you want the Slider to display on. On the Slider tab, you can select your chosen slider to display, as well as its position, and a possible fallback image. As of Avada 7.4, you can also choose whether to display the Slider on Desktop, Tablet or Mobile screens.
The other way to add an Avada Slider to your page is with the Avada Slider Element. With this method, you can add the Slider anywhere in your content, in any size Column. See the Avada Slider documentation for more information on that method. The rest of this document covers the process of creating both an Avada Slider, and the Sliders inside it.
How To Create A New Avada SliderBefore you can display an Avada Slider on your site, you must of course first create it. The first step is to create a slider to hold your slides. In this section, we』ll be covering how to create a slider, and the options you can use to customize it.
Step 1 – Navigate to the Avada > Sliders > from your WordPress admin panel.
Step 2 – Directly under the Add Slider section, give your new slider a name by entering it in the 『Name』 field.
Step 3 – Each slider you make can be used as a shortcode in a page or post. Enter a unique shortcode name in the 『Shortcode』 field. Make sure to only use lowercase letter, numbers and hyphens.
Step 4 – Under the 『Slider Size』 option, you can enter your slider』s width and height. The width value can be a percentage or a pixel value, while the height value should be a pixel value. So, if you would like your slider to be full width of the browser window, then you can set your slider』s height to 100%. Otherwise, set it to any pixel value to display the slider at a fixed width.
Step 5 – If you would like your slider to be full screen, then you can check the 『Full Screen Slider』 checkbox. This enables your slider to display 100% width and 100% height of the viewing area, and overrides the height value.
Step 6 – If you』d like your slider to have a parallax scrolling effect, then you can check the 『Parallax Scrolling Effect』 checkbox. Please make sure to read the important information for this option below in the Avada Slider Options section.
Step 7 – There are many other options you can customize, such as the navigation options, autoplay, slide loop, animation, and the like. Please continue reading below for a description about each setting.
Step 8 – Once you are finished customizing your slider, click the 『Add Slider』 button at the very bottom to save your slider.
How To Create An Avada Slider From Avada LiveAdding or creating a new Avada Slider from within Avada Live Builder, is also very easy. As you mouse over the header area, you will see a small panel of icons.
Step 1 – Click on the Add Slider Icon in the Icon Panel in the Header. The Slider tab of the Page Options will open in the Sidebar.
Step 2 – Here you can select an existing slider to add to the page, or you can create a new one. For a completely new Slider, there will be an Avada Slider link in the Important Note section. Click the Avada Slider link and you will be taken to the New Slider page.
Step 3 – Follow the same steps as with the normal process to create a Slider, as listed above.
If the page already has a slider, there will instead be an icon panel in the middle of the slider itself, with options to Edit Slider Options, Edit Slider, or Remove Slider, also seen below.
Avada Slider OptionsName – Allows you to set a name for your slider.
Shortcode – Allows you to set a shortcode name that can be used in the post content area. This is usually all lowercase and contains only letters, numbers, and hyphens.
Slider Size – Allows you to set a width and height value for your slider. The width value can be a percentage or a pixel value, while the height value should be a pixel value. You can set your slider width to 100% to display it as full width on your site.
Slider Content Max Width – Allows you to set a maximum width value for your slider』s content. For example, 850px. Leave blank to follow your site width value.
Full Screen Slider – You can check this checkbox to display your slider as full screen. Your slider will be 100% width and 100% height of your screen.
Parallax Scrolling Effect – Check this checkbox to enable a parallax scrolling effect on your slider. This effect only works when assigning the slider in Avada Page Options. This effect won』t work if you are using a Slider Shortcode.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When the Parallax Scrolling Effect option is enabled, the slider height you input will not be exact, due to negative margin which is based on the overall header size. For example, if you have a header size of 50px, and you』ve set your slider to have a height of 500px, then your slider will be 450px high when displayed on the front end of your site. Please take this into consideration.Slider Indicator – Choose from the dropdown if you want to display pagination circles or scroll down indicator.
Slider Indicator Color – Set a color for the slider indicator icon. Hex color code, ex: #fff. The default value is #fff.
Display Navigation Arrows – Check this checkbox to display the navigation arrows on each side of the slider.
Navigation Arrow Size – Allows you to set a pixel value for the size of the navigation arrows. For example, 25px.
Navigation Box Size – Allows you to set a pixel value for the width and height of the navigation box. For example, 40px.
Slideshow Speed – Allows you to set a numerical value that controls the speed of your slideshow. For example, 1000. 1000 is equal to 1 second.
Slide Loop – Check this checkbox to enable the loop feature and have your slides loop infinitely.
Autoplay – Check this checkbox to enable the autoplay feature on the slides.
Order By – Controls how the slides should be ordered. Choose between Date, ID, Title, Modified, or Random.
Order – Controls the sorting order of the slides. Choose between Descending or Ascending.
Animation – Allows you to set an animation type for slide transitions. Choose between Fade or Slide.
Animation Speed – Allows you to set a numerical value that controls the speed of the slide transition. For example, 1000. 1000 is equal to 1 second.
Responsive Typography Sensitivity – Allows you to set the responsive typography sensitivity on the slider. To learn more about this, please read our Responsive Headings article.
