How To Use The Avada Post Card Image Element

The Avada Post Card Image Element is designed for use with Avada Post Cards. The Element will pull the featured image(s) from the custom post type it displays on, including blog posts, portfolio posts, FAQs, and WooCommerce products.

There are three Layout options: “Static”, “Crossfade” (for multiple Featured Images), and “Rollover”. There is also a range of options for various post types, such as price and rating options for WooCommerce products, as well as link options. To use the Post Card Image Element, add the Element to your Post Card Library Element and set your options.

Element Options

Location: The edit screen within each Element. This Element is found in the Layout Elements tab only when adding or editing an Avada Library > Post Card Element.

Note: The displayed option screens below show ALL the available options for the element. If you have Avada’s Option Network Dependencies turned on, you will only see options relevant to your selections, and so the options screen may look somewhat different.

General

Heading		Description
Layout		Choose image layout.
Number of Swap Images		Set the number of images to be used in image swap. Set to 0, to use all.
Rollover Layout		Select a rollover layout to use as a custom overlay. Create new or edit existing ones in the Avada Library.

Image Aspect Ratio		Select an aspect ratio for the image. "Automatic" keeps the image's own proportions. A fixed ratio crops the image to that shape. "Fill Column Height" stretches the image to the full height available in its column and crops the overflow, which only has an effect when that height is set by something else, for example the Row Height of a Post Cards element. In every cropping mode the visible part is controlled by the Image Focus Point.

Image Focus Point		Set the image focus point by dragging the blue dot.
