Summertime is on the horizon! In this installment, we will share Avada 8.0 progress and the latest Avada milestones with the broader community.

Avada 8 May Progress Update

Following on from the April Roadmap post, our team has focused on optimization and some element-specific tasks. See some of the details below.

New flexible content structuring

Nested columns will be replaced by a new flexible content system that allows you to nest containers with unlimited scope anywhere within your content.

Additionally, the rigid content structuring of Container > Column > Elements has been broken apart to provide you with more granular control over your layouts, allowing you to place your columns and elements anywhere without even the need for a container.

  • Background image motion effects

These new options will enhance the control over the design process, allowing for supercharged and engaging styling for any Avada website.

    What is the plan for custom elements? We’ve created a number of custom elements in our own custom plugin as well make use of Elegant Elements on some customer sites. Will we need to make upgrades to make them work? If so can we get that documentation prior to releasing version 8, we have significant number of customers making use of this.

    Will the traditional Avada shortcodes still be supported in Version 8 if we make use of them in other places beyond post types under Avada Builders control?
