Avada Patcher

Last Update: February 9, 2026

Keeping your site up to date is an integral part of WordPress site maintenance, and the Patcher tool is an instrumental part of that strategy. The Avada Patcher is an innovative maintenance tool that allows you to apply patches to Avada in between complete Avada updates. This allows you to keep your Avada site fully up-to-date at all times.

When required, our development team releases fixes and improvements that do not need a complete update to be released. These patches can be added as soon as they are released. Read below for more details on using this excellent maintenance tool, and watch the video for a visual overview.

The latest Avada version is: 7.15.1 (Released on March 17, 2026)

Expert Tip – In the interest of good installation management and maintenance, it is good practice to ensure all current patches are applied as they are released.

Three Ways To Apply Available Patches

1: Individually Via The Patcher Panel

When our development team releases patches, you will see notifications in several places, including under the Avada and Patcher links in the WordPress sidebar and a small asterisk on the Maintenance link. You can get to the Patcher from Avada > Patcher on the WordPress Sidebar or Maintenance > Patcher from the Avada Dashboard.

To apply the patches one at a time, click the “Apply” button to the right of each patch. Start with the top one and apply them sequentially.

2: Bulk Apply Via The Patcher Panel

If there are multiple patches, you can simply click on “Apply All Patches” at the top of the Patches panel. All necessary changes will be automatically applied to the necessary files for you. Once the patch is applied, you will see a confirmation notification.

3: Applying Patches Manually Via FTP

Sometimes server setups are very particular about file/folder permissions and do not allow files to be automatically written to them. In these cases, applying an automatic patch will not work.

If your server doesn’t allow automatic patching via the Avada Patcher, you can download the patch files and manually apply the patch via FTP. The reasons why this might happen are listed below. Please contact your host, give them these details, and ask them to change it for you:

Theme & plugins should be owned by the web server user (usually www-data)
Files & folders should have the right permissions. You can find more details here, in the WordPress Support Docs.
WordPress should be able to write to the filesystem.

If your web server doesn’t allow the Avada Patcher to apply patches automatically, you can download the patch files and manually apply the fix via FTP. The latest patches for Avada and its required plugins will be listed in order from first to last release. You can find Avada patch files available for download here. On that page, you’ll see all available patches for the current Avada version.

Expert Tip – Patches that are manually applied need to be completed in the date order they were released. Always start at the top patch for the version you are using and apply it first, then work your way down.

Avada Status Page Explained

A — Version – Each section will have a version number. All available patches for the current Avada version will be listed below the version heading.
B — Patch Number & Date – The patch number will increase for each patch released. When installing your patches, be sure to install from oldest to newest. That would be lowest patch number to highest patch number. You can also reference the date, which is just below the patch number.
C — Description – The Description will explain what issue the patch fixes.
D — Manual Fix – This is a download link that contains the patched files in a .zip file. The next section explains how to apply the fix.
E — This references the next patch in the list. You can see by the patch number (and date if the patch was released on a different day) that it’s more recent than the previous patch. When applying patches, this patch would be applied after the previous patch in the queue.

After You’ve Downloaded the Patch File

To download the individual patches, log in to your My Avada account and download here. Here’s what to look for:

Patch File Name – The patch file will be a .zip file with the patch’s number as its name, which looks like this.
Extract – Now that you’ve found your patch file, extract the .zip file.
Locating the Patched Files – The extracted folder will be the same path you’ll need to follow to find the files on your site for applying the updated files. It will start from the wp-contents folder and end with your actual fixed files, which looks like this.
Upload Fixes – Now access your site through FTP and navigate to the same location your patched files were found in the patch download. Transfer your new, patched files (and only the files themselves) to the directory, and choose “overwrite” to replace the existing files.
