They serve a huge role for our customers by saving them time, displaying various features and giving them a fast & easy to get their site up and running.
We first built an importer that allowed you to import a demo with a click of a button. Avada 5.2 has majorly improved this process by allowing you to import individual content from any demo. Select to import everything, or only select pages or posts or widgets or theme options. This gives major flexibility to easily import content from several demos.

UNIQUE THEME FEATURE
Sticky Sidebars Make It Into Avada
Avada’s sidebar setup is one of the most versatile around, and now even more so with the ability to make your sidebars sticky. Sticky sidebars allow them to stay fixed in position when scrolling down. These look best with smaller sidebar content but can be used on any sidebar.
BACKGROUND IMAGE OPTION FOR MEGA MENUS
Mega Menus Now Allow You To Insert Background Images!
Easily insert one background image that covers all columns for your mega menu, or you can set individual background images per column! This feature really enhances overall creativity and can produce incredible looking menus.
NEW MENU LABELS OPTION

Menu labels are eye catching, attention grabbing and simply beautiful. Want to highlight a special product or page? Easily done! Menu Highlight Labels are possible with any menu item and have several customization options.
MORE CUSTOMIZED MENU OFFERINGS
Mobile Menus Now Have Their Own Unique Menu Assignment
So often menus are large and need to be so they display all the necessary content to your viewers. However on mobile, viewers don’t want to sort through dozens and dozens of pages in your menu. Avada 5.2 now allows you to create and assign a separate custom menu that will only show on mobile devices so your viewers can quickly see the important content.
MORE GLOBAL THEME OPTIONS
New Global Theme Options For Portfolio & Alert Box Elements
Avada is the originator of global theme options vs individual overriding page options. This is a huge part of the backbone for our incredibly advanced option system that works together in harmony to make your life easier. Avada 5.2 brings you more global theme options for the Portfolio and Alert Box Elements so you can set it and forget it.
Full Global Portfolio Element Options
Our Portfolio Element is widely used and very versatile with options. Avada 5.2 now provides you with a full set of global theme options for every option that the Portfolio Element offers. This complete set can save you loads of time by setting your desired options one time in Fusion Theme Options and having them used on every Portfolio instance on your site.
Alert Boxes Get Global Options
Alert boxes are needed on every site. Our Alert Box Element has many customization options so you can make them how you want, however there are automatic Alert Boxes used (like on forms) that were hard coded styles. Avada 5.2 now gives you the power to set global options for each type of Alert Box so they perfectly match your site design.
CONTINUED IMPROVEMENTS
Performance Enhancements For Speed
We always put a focus on our codebase for performance, optimization and coding standards. Avada 5.2 continues this with some very nice changes to make your site faster. We take great pride in this area and always make it a priority.
Google Fonts and Font Awesome No Longer Cause Render-Blocking
We’ve combined both Google and Font Awesome fonts into the dynamic css so they will no longer affect above the fold content upon page loading. This enhances performance and allows these fonts to no longer show up as render blocking files in speed tests like Google Page Speed.
Advanced Responsive Image Setup Added To Additional Areas
Avada’s advanced responsive image setup allows the proper image size to load based on screen or container size. This produces major performance enhancements. This advanced setup is now added to the Person Element, WooCommerce Featured & Product Carousel Elements as well as content inside of various column setups.
