If set to 2 then the minimum font-size will be double the initial font-size of the element.,Inline Editing Typography OptionsThere are also typography options found in Avada Live, when using the Inline Editor.

Located at Avada > Options > Performance, you will find the Font Face Rendering option. Here you can now chose 「Swap All」 for faster font rendering with possible flash of unstyled text (FOUT), 「Block」 for clean rendering but a longer wait time until first paint, or 「Swap Non-Icon Fonts」, which will use a mix of the first two methods (「swap」 for text fonts and 「block」 for icon-fonts).
Preload Key FontsThere is also an option to make a selection to prioritize fetching resources that will be requested later in the page load. This improves page load time, as the browser caches preloaded resources so they are available immediately when needed. You can choose from All, Google Fonts, Icon Fonts, or None.

toTop Button

toTop Button

The toTop Button has been around a while in Avada, unobtrusively assisting you back to the top of the page when required. But with Avada 5.9, we have added some enhancements to the script, to make this feature even more useful to you.
Enable/Disable toTopThe toTop Button can be enabled/ disabled at Fusion Theme Options > Advanced > Theme Features. It can be enabled/disabled separately for desktop and mobile, or for both.
toTop SettingsThe new configuration options for the toTop Button can be found at Extra > Miscellaneous.

ToTop Button Position – You can now choose the position of the toTop button. Choose from Left, Left Floating, Right, or Right Floating. The Floating options lift the button off the base of the viewport to leave the button floating on the page.

ToTop Border Radius – You can now control the border radius of the ToTop button. For non-floating layouts, the border radius will only apply to the upper corners. In pixels. 0px would create an entirely square button, while 50px would create a circular button.

ToTop Show on Scroll Down Only – You can now also choose to show the ToTop button on scroll down only. Otherwise it will always show if the page is scrolled.

The Avada Visibility System

The Avada Visibility System

In Avada, you will find an intuitive Visibility System for all Elements that you use on the page. This easy to use system allows you to choose when Elements are displayed, and when they are hidden, based on the screen size they are being viewed on.
For example, if you want a section of your page to only display on mobile devices and not on desktops, then our Visibility System lets you do that effortlessly. Continue reading below to learn more about the Avada Builder』s Visibility System.,OverviewContainer, Column and Element Visibility
How To Use The Visibility Options
Element Responsive Breakpoints
Element Sticky Visibility Options,Container, Column, and Element VisibilityThe 『Visibility』 option is available to use in all Elements, including Containers and Columns. This option is called 『Container Visibility』 for Containers, 『Column Visibility』 for Columns, and 『Element Visibility』 for all other Elements. By default, visibility is set on all three screen sizes, but you can enable or disable any number of screen sizes in the option. Continue reading below to learn more about how to use this option.
How To Use The Visibility OptionsStep 1 – On any Container, Column, or Element, locate the 『Element Visibility』 option and select which screens you』d like to display the element for. You can choose more than one option, or all of them.
Step 2 – Each of these options have a Custom Width Setting which you can set. To learn how, please refer to our 『Custom Width Settings』 section below.
Step 3 – Once finished, click 『Save』.
IMPORTANT NOTE – Container Visibility option will be disabled/hidden when using the 100% Height option for containers.767,650 Businesses Trust Avada

Get Avada,Element Responsive BreakpointsAll three size settings have an Element Responsive Breakpoint, which you can set in the Avada > Global Options > Responsive tab. This allows you to set the responsive breakpoint for the small, medium, and large screens and determine when your site will switch to a different screen visibility. For example, if you set 640 pixels for the Small Screen』s custom width settings, then when your site is viewed on a resolution that is equal or less to 640 pixels, any element with the 『Small Screen』 option enabled will display on your site.
How To Set Element Responsive BreakpointsStep 1 – Navigate to the Avada > Global Options > Responsive panel.
Step 2 – On this panel, locate the 『Element Responsive Breakpoints』 section.
Step 3 – Set the Small Screen』s custom width by entering a value in the text box, or by dragging the slider. When your site is viewed on a resolution that is less than or equal to the width set on this field, then the small screen visibility will take effect.
Step 4 – Set the Medium Screen』s custom width by entering a value in the text box, or by dragging the slider. When your site is viewed on a resolution that is less than or equal to the width set on this field, then the medium screen visibility will take effect.
Step 5 – The Large Screen』s custom width is automatically filled in depending on what width you』ve entered for the Medium Screen option. When your site is viewed on a resolution that is greater than the Medium Screen width, then the large screen visibility will take effect.
Step 6 – Once finished, click 『Save Changes』.,Element Sticky Visibility OptionAs of Avada 7.0, you will also find the Element Sticky Visibility option in some Elements. This is a dependent option which only appears if the parent Container is set to Sticky. It allows you to determine when the Element will be visible, based on whether the Container it is in, is in Sticky mode or not. You can choose from Normal and Sticky visibility, and by default, they are both selected, meaning the Element is always visible. But if you deselect the Normal option, the Element will ONLY be visible when the parent Container is in Sticky mode.
This can be used in a number of creative ways, particularly with Header Layouts, but generally as well. The Column Element has this option as well, and in the above example with an individual Sticky Container, you would set the Column Element Visibility to only sticky, so the entire Column would only display when the parent Container went into Sticky mode.
An example of this technique can be seen in New Header 5, one of the Prebuilt Headers for Layouts. In this Layout, as you can see below, there are two Containers, with the second one being set to Sticky. The two outside Columns on the second Container have their Element Visibility set to Sticky only, and so in the normal state of the Container, these two Columns, and the Elements inside them, are not visible, but when the Sticky Container activates, the logo and the Woo Menu suddenly appear in the Container.
Currently, this option is only available for the Columns, Nested Columns, Alert, Breadcrumbs, Button, Icon, Image, Menu, Search, Separator, Sharing Box, Social Links, Title, and Text Block Elements.

The Avada Options Network

The Avada Options Network

The Advanced Options Network is the backbone of Avada. These options give you full control over your website and allow you to customize your design without touching a single line of code. There are three major groups of options you can utilize within Avada: Avada Global Options, Avada Page Options and Avada Builder Element Options.
Watch the video, or keep reading below to find out more about Avada』s incredible options system.

Continue reading below to learn about each part of the options network.

Avada Global Options – These can be accesssed from Avada > Options tab from the WordPress admin sidebar, and on the Sidebar, accessed from the Toggle Sidebar Icon, in Avada Live. These are the main options, and affect your entire site.

Avada Page Options – Located at the bottom of every page and post in the back-end Avada Builder, or in the Page Options Tab of the Sidebar in Avada Live. These are local options, that only apply to the page or post they』re set on.
Avada Builder Element Options – Located within each Avada Builder Element. These options will only affect the single element instance they』re set in.,Avada Global OptionsThe Avada Global Options are the heart of the Avada options network. They are presented in a well-organized panel, covering all areas of the theme. There are over 1,000 individual options in here. These are global options that affect your entire site. Please see the Avada Global Options document for full details of all the panels, and videos explaining many of the options.
Below is a screenshot of the back-end version of the Avada Global Options, as accessed from the WordPress dashboard at Avada > Options.
In Avada Live, you have access to the Avada Global Options panel without even leaving the page you are editing. Below is a screenshot of the Avada Global Options in the Avada Live, which is accessed from the Toggle Sidebar Icon found in the main Toolbar.,Avada Page OptionsThe Avada Page Options are local options, which only affect the page or post they are set on. These options override any corresponding global options set in the Avada Global Options. Below is a screenshot of the Avada Page Options, as found at the bottom of the page in the Avada Builder.
In Avada Live, the Avada Page Options are found in the Sidebar, along with the Avada Global Options. Below is a screenshot of the Avada Page Options, as found in Avada Live.,How The Parts of Avada』s Option Network Relate To Each OtherThere is a clear hierarchy for options set in Avada. Avada Global Options affect the entire site unless overridden. Avada Page Options and Avada Builder Element Options will use any values set in the Avada Global Options if left empty or if the value is set to default. However, if any other value is set, they will override the Avada Global Options.
This setup gives users maximum flexibility, with the option of setting a global option, then being able to override it on a per page/post/element basis.
Please see below for examples of how this override system works. The first example is a setting that is both present in Avada Global Options and in Avada Page Options, and the second, an example of an Avada Builder Element that has a corresponding Avada Global Option setting.,Global Options vs Page OptionsAvada Global OptionsBelow is a screenshot of the Page Background panel in the Avada Global Options. This is a scenario where a background image has been set, and the 『100% Background Image』 option is set to On, which means the background image will cover 100% width on all the pages throughout the site, unless otherwise specified in Page Options.
Avada Page OptionsBelow is a screenshot of the Background panel in the Avada Page Options. Here, a different image has been added for the Background Image For Page options, and the 100% Background Image option is set to No. So, on this page, a different background image will display, but it will not be at 100% width.

This means the only options you see are the only ones currently available for your selection.
This is intended to keep options as streamlined as possible and to avoid visual clutter. The dependent options are hidden/visible according to your current site』s configuration. For example, if you have a side header active, then all options that aren』t relevant to side headers like top header options, will be hidden from view. This allows you to concentrate only on the options that will affect your current set up.
This feature can be disabled in Options > Advanced > Theme Features > Avada』s Option Network Dependencies. To learn more about Dependent Options, please see our article below.

The 100% Width Page Template

The 100% Width Page Template

Of all the page templates in Avada, the 100% Width page template is is the most flexible. Let』s just look at how this template works and what options there are with full width content.
This template might seem counter intuitive at first. If you add a Container with a full width Column, and then add some content inside the Column, like a Title or Text etc, you might be surprised to see that it is limited to the Site Width. But the template is designed with full flexibility in mind, so it』s possible to have just parts of your content going full width, or all of it if you prefer.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Sidebars are not supported on the 100% width template. If you require sidebars, then you can use the 『default』 template, or you can insert the Widget Area Element if you need to show a sidebar or widget section on the 100% width template.Container BackgroundThe key is the Container. If you add a color or background image to a Container when using this page template, the color or image will stretch full width. This is automatic with this template.
In the image below, you also can see the padding indicators. The Left/Right padding is global – coming from the 100% Width Padding setting on the Layout tab of the Fusion Theme Options. Note that the height of a Container is determined by either the internal content or padding. Here, there is no internal content as yet, and the Top/Bottom padding has been set to 80px on this specific Container.
Internal ContentThe internal content of the Container though is entirely up to you. By default, it stays limited to Site Width, as this is the default behavior for Containers, but there is an option in the Container Options for the Interior Content Width to be set to 100% Width. This will allow the interior content added to any Columns inside this Container to spread out to the edges of the browser, limited only by the 100% Width Padding value set in Theme Options > Layout, and/or any manual left/right padding you apply to the Column.
In the image below, the Interior Content Width has been set to 100% Width, and the Left/Right padding adjusted on this specific Container to 100px, while the Top/Bottom padding has been adjusted to 180px. See the Adjusting Margins & Padding in Avada Live doc for more info on how to do this.
SummaryThese two aspects of the 100% Width page template are all you need to control the Full Width Elements on your page.
By default, remember the Internal Content of Containers is limited to Site Width, even when using the 100% Width page template. What is automatic is that Containers that have background colors or images, display these at the full 100% width.
Internally, to get your content to go full width, all you need to do is enable the setting in the individual Container Options for the Interior Content Width to be 100% Width. Then you can fine tune your layout with your global or local padding options.
With this template, you can achieve a great 100% page layout, with full control over all elements.

Site Width Options

Site Width Options

Avada includes various options that control the overall Site Width, Content and Sidebar Width. You can also choose between a boxed or wide layout for your pages. All these options are located under Appearance > Theme Options > Layout. To learn more about these various options, keep reading below.
Layout OptionsThe Global Options Layout section at Avada > Options > Layout, makes it easy for you to manage your site』s layout type, width, padding and sidebar layouts. Choose between Boxed and Wide layouts, set page content padding, 100% width pages』 left and right padding, and adjust the top and bottom margins for all column sizes and single and dual sidebar layouts.
Layout – Choose between Boxed or Wide for your site. These are global Theme Options and can be overridden by individual page Fusion Options on a page by page basis. The Boxed option will restrict your site』s width to the value set in the site width option, using any valid CSS unit for example: 1170px – In the boxed mode, it is possible to set a background image, background pattern or a background color for your site.

Single Post Title

Single Post Title

Single Post Title using H1 or H2For Avada 5.5 we have enhanced the single post header typography management. The post header for single posts, single FAQ, single portfolio, and WooCommerce single product pages will automatically default to H1 tag if for example, Theme Options > Page Title Bar > Page Title Bar Text is set to Hide.
If Theme Options > Page Title Bar > Page Title Bar Text is set to Show, then the post header will default automatically to H2. Below are the different scenarios when H1 and H2 tags will be used in a single post title:
The single post title will automatically change from H2 to H1 when the page title bar is disabled is totally disabled.The single post title will automatically default to H1 when page title bar is enabled and the Page Title Bar Text is set to > Show.The single post title will automatically change from H1 to H2 when the page title bar is enabled and the page title bar text is set to > Hide.
Single post extra section headings will automatically change to an H2 tag, when page title bar is disabled.

Responsive Options in Avada

Responsive Options in Avada

Avada is a fully responsive theme, with a range of options to control the various breakpoints, as well flexible responsive features such as the new Responsive Option Sets, introduced in Avada 7.
In this document, we』re going to have a look at the Responsive Options found in the Global Options (Avada > Options > Responsive). Continue reading below to learn what responsive breakpoints are, and watch the video for a visual overview.
What Is A Responsive Breakpoint?It all starts with Responsive Breakpoints. These are specific pixel values that determine when the normal layout will change to a responsive layout. For example, if you enter 800px for the 『Header Responsive Breakpoint』 option, then your header will change to the responsive mobile header when the screen, or viewport, is 800px wide.
Global Responsive OptionsResponsiveResponsive Design – Leave on to use the responsive design features in Avada. If set to off, the fixed layout is used.
Grid Responsive Breakpoint – This controls when blog/portfolio grid layouts start to break into smaller columns. Further breakpoints are auto-calculated. Accepts a numeric value in pixels (px). For example, 1000.
Header Responsive Breakpoint – This controls when the desktop header changes to the mobile header. For side headers, the recommended breakpoint is 800px + the side header width. Accepts a numeric value in pixels (px). For example, 800.
Site Content Responsive Breakpoint – This controls when the site content area changes to the mobile layout. This includes all content below the header including the footer. If you are using a side header, the breakpoint value you enter will automatically include the side header width. Accepts a numeric value in pixels (px). For example, 800.
Sidebar Responsive Breakpoint – Controls when the sidebars change to the mobile layout. Accepts a numeric value in pixels (px). For example, 800.
Mobile Device Zoom – Turn on to enable pinch to zoom on mobile devices.
Element Responsive BreakpointsSmall Screen – This controls when the small screen options and visibility should take effect. In pixels. This works in conjunction with the Responsive Icon in Avada Live, and the Responsive Options Sets feature.
Medium Screen – This controls when the medium screen options and visibility should take effect. In pixels.
Large Screen – Any screen larger than that which is defined as the medium screen will be counted as a large screen.
Responsive TypographyResponsive Typography Sensitivity – Set to 0 to disable responsive typography. Increase the value for a greater effect.
Minimum Font Size Factor – This determines the minimum font-size of elements affected by responsive typography using a multiplying value.

Responsive Option Sets

Responsive Option Sets

This awesome new feature, introduced in Avada 7.0, allows you to set certain options independently for different screen sizes. This is achieved by allowing some specific Element options to hold up to three sets of values, corresponding with the three Responsive screen sizes, Large (Desktop), Medium (Tablet) and Small (Phone). Read on to learn how to use it, or watch the video below, for a visual overview.
WHAT IS RESPONSIVE?: Responsive design is when the content on the page automatically adjusts for different screen and viewport sizes. This could be a laptop, a tablet, a mobile phone, or even just a desktop computer with the screen resized.,Overview
Isn』t Avada Already Responsive?
Where To Find ItHow To Use ItGlobal Options,Where To Find ItResponsive Options Sets are available on selected options in the Container and Column Elements, as well as a few other selected Design Elements; at this point the Button, Image, Text Block, and Title Elements. This is a brand new feature, and it will expand over time to other Elements and options.
 
There are very clear indicators for when Responsive Option Sets are available. In the back end editor interface, you will see the word 『Responsive』 and a set of icons in the Title Bar of any Element that uses it. As well, a screen icon will be visible next to the options available for use with the feature, as seen below.
In Avada Live, on the right hand side of the toolbar, you will find the Responsive Icon. This is no longer just a preview option to see how the site looks on different screen sizes, but is also a new responsive editing mode. When you select a specific screen size, like Medium or Small, not only does the layout change on the screen, but any Responsive Options that you set while in that view, will apply only for that view.
You can also adjust the Responsive Screen view in Avada Live from the actual Element options that support it, by clicking on the icon in the option.,How To Use ItAs you can see in the example of the Live Builder below, I have chosen the Small (Phone) Responsive Icon in the toolbar, and in the Padding Option for the Container I am editing, the icon has changed to the same icon, signifying that the values inserted (in this case 10px padding on the left and right sides of the Container) will only apply when the screen is at Small size.
Any responsive option set while in the Desktop view will carry through to both medium and small layouts, but if you want a specific value, for either Tablet or Phone for example, you would just click on the respective icon and then enter a different value into the relevant option.
It works the same way in the back end interface of the builder, but it just looks a little different. If we look at the Container or Column Element in the back-end interface of Avada Builder, we can see three Responsive icons at the top of the Element. If we select a specific icon along the top, the options included in this feature and that also have a responsive icon, will change their icons to match the one selected at the top. This shows that the values you set in this options will apply only to the selected layout.
See the image below to see how this works. Note how in the image, the Mobile Responsive view has been selected in the Container header, and in the Margin and Padding options of the Container, the Responsive Icons there have changed to a phone, showing that the values entered there will only apply when the page is viewed at Mobile size.
There are many options and situations you can change with this system to help you fine tune your design on Tablets and Mobile, including How To Set The Display Order And Size Of Columns In Responsive Layouts, and Alignment options on several Elements, including the Button, Image, Text Block, and Title Elements.,Global OptionsIt』s also important to realize you have full control over the responsive sizes and behaviors in Avada. For example, under the Responsive Options, found at Avada > Options > Responsive > Element Responsive Breakpoints, you can determine the breakpoints at which a Medium Screen and a Small Screen kick in.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Note, this feature will not work on Legacy Containers and Columns.And under the Global Column options, found at Avada > Global Options > Avada Builder Elements > Columns, you can control the default behavior for Columns in responsive situations.
By default, Medium size screens inherit the layout from Desktop, and Small size screens revert to full width Columns, but you can, of course, change these default behaviors as you wish.
This new feature is a real game changer. With Responsive Option Sets, you now have full control over your responsive layouts, all within the same containers and columns.
