Avada Quick Start Guide

Avada can be purchased solely on the Themeforest Marketplace. Be careful not to purchase it anywhere else, as this would be an illegal, and probably hacked, copy. When you purchase Avada, you’re buying it for one website, as an individual purchase code is required per top-level domain registration.

Please see the video below that shows you the process of purchasing Avada on the Themeforest website.

Once you have hosting, and WordPress is installed, you are ready to install Avada. To do this, you need to get the installable file from the ThemeForest account, from which Avada was purchased. There are then a couple of ways to install Avada; via WordPress, or via FTP. This is a five-minute process that is well explained in these docs and videos.

Immediately after installing and activating Avada, you are required to register your purchase. Registration allows you to install and update Premium plugins, import prebuil websites, download automatic updates for Avada, and to register for support. To register Avada, you just need the purchase code from your purchase, which you can download at ThemeForest, and which you then paste into the Registration field on the Avada Dashboard. For more information on this process, please see the following documentation, and its included video.

The Avada Setup Wizard offers a way to set your website up quickly and efficiently. This will load automatically on any new install immediately after registration. There are two types of setup – one for using a prebuilt site as the basis of your website, or another for a new website that you will build from scratch. The Setup Wizard covers required plugin installation, and then depending on your setup type, importing a prebuilt, color and typography selections, content selection and more. For full details, see the documentation, linked below.

Alternatively, you can register Avada, install the required plugins, and import a prebuilt website manually, as listed below.

Registering Avada gives you access to the bundled premium plugins, two of these which are required to be installed for Avada to function correctly and fully. These are Avada Core and Avada Builder. For everything you need to know about installing and updating the plugins that come with Avada, see the document, and its included video, linked below.

One of the easiest and quickest ways to get a website up and running with Avada is to choose to install one of our 80 + prebuilt websites. With our easy to use importer, you can transform your basic WordPress installation into a completed website in a matter of minutes. Then you can customize it with your own branding and content, and have a website up and running in no time at all. See the following documents for more information on our fantastic prebuilt websites, and how to import them.

With all software packages, there is a learning curve, and here at ThemeFusion, we endevour to make learning Avada as easy as we can. On top of our extensive documentation and video library, there is also six months of direct ticketing support included with your purchase, but to access this, you first have to register for Support with ThemeFusion.
