Avada Plugins
Last Update: October 21, 2026
Avada comes with various plugins that can be very useful to your site. Some of these plugins are also required to fully install certain Avada Prebuilts.
On the Maintenance > Plugins page, from the Avada Dashboard, you will be able to manage any of your Avada plugins — you can install, activate, deactivate, and update from one place. Across the top you will see a filter, that allows you to filter to the various states and types of plugins, such as Active, Inactive, Premium, Recommended, and Update Available. You can also check for Updates to refresh the list.
Depending on whether you have any Avada Classic licenses, you will see a different screen. If you do have Avada Classic licences in your My Avada account, we are able to supply the previously Included Plugins, and you will see the screen below.
If you don’t have an Avada Classic license, you will see this screen instead. SCF is a free alternative to ACF Pro, and if you don’t have any Classic sites, you won’t need the Avada Migration plugin.
Recommended Plugins
These are free plugins that we include inside Avada purely for convenience. Just mouse over one to click Install. If a plugin in installed and active, you will instead see a deactivate link on rollover. To delete a plugin entirely, ensure it is deactivated and you can then delete it from the WordPress > Plugins page.
SCF
You will only see this on your Plugins list if you do not have a legacy license on your My Avada account. Secure Custom Fields (SCF) is a capable replacement for ACF Pro.
