How to Identify and Manage Layouts in Avada Builder

If you downloaded a Avada website template, and you are editing a page in Avada and can’t locate a specific container, it might be controlled by a global or custom layout. Follow these steps to find and manage the layouts:

1. View All Layouts within the Avada Website template

  • Go to your WordPress Dashboard.
  • Navigate to Avada > Layouts.
  • This section shows all existing layouts (Global, Header, Footer, Content, etc.) and what’s assigned to each.

2. Understand Global Layouts

  • The Global Layout is applied sitewide and typically includes the default header and footer.
  • To create a custom look, you can build a new layout (e.g., different header for blog posts or landing pages) and assign it by post type or specific pages.

3. Assign Layouts by Page or Post Type

  • In the Avada Layout Builder, edit or create a new layout.
  • Under the Layout Section Options, you can assign it to:
    • All Posts
    • All FAQs
    • A specific Page or Post
    • Categories or Custom Taxonomies

4. Check Assigned Layouts on a Specific Page

  • Open the page in the WordPress editor.
  • In the right-hand sidebar under Avada Page Options, look for the Assigned Layout section.
  • This will show if any custom layout is applied (e.g., a header-less landing page).

This quick guide helps ensure consistency in your site’s design and makes it easier to customize individual pages when needed.
