Read through all the forum re AVADA and instructions that have been posted over time up to current, leaves me with piecemeal and perhaps inaccurate instructions. I’ve installed and restored a couple times now so thought it time to confirm.
1. Ignore that GD Avada child exists – forget it, obsolete. Done
2. Use GD Core 1.4.1 where AVADA support to extent possible is included within core plugin. Done
3. Install AVADA and AVADA Child (included in Full_Package). Done
4. Gets unclear here…
Some instructions say to create and edit “clean” header.php
Other instruction say copy header.php from parent into Avada Child. Some of us think clean means to create a new file named header.php. Some think a copy from Avada could be the “clean” file.
Still elsewhere it say to get a file from GD/ThemeCompatability/Avada/export (is it import or export we should plan to do? If we export whatever it is that exports, what do we do with it? Is it a code snippet or a new header.php. What about all the other txt boxes of code below that?
Do we still manually modify header.php in child?
5. If still need to modify header.php manually (in child theme) the text strings to search for are not exactly as shown in example http://docs.wpgeodirectory.com/avada-compatibility-header-php/
Possible we could have one more step (C) in examples?
A. search for this
B. Replace that string with his
C. After which the complete section between the { } should look EXACTLY like this…
We’re stopping the reinstall until we know proper steps. Just installed AVADA clean again but not going further than Preview until we find more. Oddly, in preview the home page GD map looks fine, on activation (prior attempts), home page GD map goes missing.
