Avada 7.16

The latest version of Avada, released on August 4th, 2026, is all about intuitive design freedom where it counts. Three popular Elements have been completely rebuilt. The Pricing Table gains a grid-based layout, highlight badges, richer content options and per-column design overrides. The Tabs element can now auto rotate with a progress indicator counting down on the active tab, content can fade, slide or zoom as it changes, and each tab can carry a short description that opens along with it. The Testimonials element arrives with three layout modes, a modern card design and schema-ready star ratings. Joining them are two brand-new Elements: Categories, for displaying the terms of any taxonomy as a list or dropdown, and Recent Activity Tabs, bringing recent posts, popular posts and comments together in one configurable, tabbed layout. Elsewhere you’ll find a new stacking cards animation for scrolling sections, thumbnail navigation for Post Cards and Image Carousel, full page copy-and-paste plus search and replace in the Live Editor command palette, new notification and target controls for Avada Forms, and expanded dynamic data support. It’s a release packed with the kind of refinements that make building beautiful, high-converting websites in Avada faster and more flexible than ever.

Revamped pricing table Element

The Avada Pricing Table element has been rebuilt from the ground up, giving you full control over both layout and design. A modern grid-based engine delivers pixel-perfect alignment, equal-height columns, and true responsive control over columns, gaps, and widths at every breakpoint. Make any plan stand out with refined standout controls, expansion, text scaling, and gap-aware spacing, then draw the eye with eye-catching badges and corner ribbons. Extensive new styling options cover typography, colors, borders, radius, dividers, and spacing for every part of the table, while flexible price, currency, sub-title, and call-to-action settings let you present plans exactly your way. Whether connected or separated, your pricing has never looked this polished.

Revamped Tabs Element

In Avada 7.16, we have substantially expanded the Tabs Element, with a set of new options that turn a simple tab set into a properly designed piece of content. Tabs can now rotate on their own, with a progress indicator counting down on the active tab and an optional play/pause control for visitors. Content can fade, slide or zoom as it changes, at whatever speed suits the page, and each tab can carry a short description that opens along with it, a line of context before the reader commits to a click. On the design side, tab titles take a gradient, the content panel gains its own background color and rounded corners, and a minimum tab width with title alignment keeps even the shortest labels in a tidy row. Tabs can also be linked to directly, so visitors can share the exact tab they are reading.

Avada Conditional Rendering

revamped testimonial element

Avada 7.16 completely rebuilds the Testimonials Element. Choose from four layouts, a cross-fading slider, a multi-column carousel, a continuously scrolling marquee, or a static grid “wall of love”, and three designs, including an all-new Card style. Add star ratings, avatars built from images, initials or icons, and arrange the name, role and company across flexible author layouts. Every detail is yours: typography, padding, alignment, borders, shadows, speech bubbles and background icons, plus fully styled arrows and pagination dots with separate regular and active states.

Categories (Terms) element

With the release of Avada 7.16, listing your categories becomes a proper design job. The new Categories element turns any taxonomy, blog categories, tags, product categories or your own, into navigation people actually want to use: a clean stacked or inline list, or a compact select on smaller screens. Show post counts, icons and term images, reveal child terms as a smooth accordion or only for the branch being viewed, and let the element take the taxonomy from whichever archive it sits on, so a single layout serves them all. Colours, typography, borders, separators, spacing and width are all yours, no widget markup to fight.

Custom Auth Pages & Forms

recent activity tabs element

Avada 7.16 introduces the brand new Recent Activity Tabs Element, a modern take on the classic Avada Tabs widget that brings your most popular posts, latest posts and newest comments together in one compact, tabbed layout. Name each tab, give it an icon, and choose between featured images or an eye-catching date block, with an optional excerpt. Then style every detail, tab alignment, indicator bar, separators, borders and typography, with full hover and active states, so it fits your design perfectly.
