Custom Post Types, Taxonomies and Fields for Avada Builder
How it works

Any content, in the layouts you already use

By default, the Avada Builder can only work with built-in post types — like blog posts — or with Avada's own post types, such as portfolios. This plugin extends the Avada Builder's Blog, Portfolio and Recent Posts elements so they work with any custom post type (CPT). The Blog and Recent Posts elements are also extended to work with custom taxonomies and custom fields.

The plugin creates three new elements that mirror the originals — Blog CPT, Recent Posts CPT and Portfolio CPT — and adds several new options. These options let you use any custom post type instead of the default ones, so you can place any content anywhere on the page using the same styles and formatting as your blogs, recent posts and portfolios. That effectively turns your blog site into a true Content Management System.

For example, an events or e-learning plugin typically creates its own custom post types. If you want to display all your events or lessons using the same styles and layouts as your blogs or portfolios, simply add the element and select the event post type instead of post. You can also filter CPTs by custom taxonomies and show those taxonomies — much like categories — alongside your events, lessons or other CPTs. The Blog and Recent Posts elements can even display custom fields the same way they show meta info: up to two taxonomies and two custom fields per entry.

Everything the element adds

Inside the builder

Configured visually — no code

Every option lives right in the element's settings, next to the ones you already know.

Quick start guide

From install to live in a few clicks

  1. Edit a page with the Avada Builder (back-end builder — Avada Live is not supported).
  2. Open the Elements menu and add Blog CPT, Recent Posts CPT or Portfolio CPT — they sit next to the originals.
  3. In the element options, open Post Type and pick the custom post type you want to display.
  4. Optionally set a Custom Taxonomy and Custom Terms to filter — or exclude terms with Exclude Custom Taxonomy Terms.
  5. Use Show Term 1 / 2 to display taxonomies, and Custom Field Key 1 / 2 (with friendly names) to display custom fields.
  6. Save the element, save the page — your CPT entries render in the layout you chose.
Tip.  Give custom fields readable labels: for a product_price field, select it in Custom Field Key 1 and enter “Product Price ” in Custom Field Key 1 Name.
