Start the written lesson

Before you start

EMCP Pro and a verified AI connection.
Active Avada theme with Avada Builder 3.16.1–3.16.x; Avada Core for its display elements.
A practice site and a draft page.

Let’s do this, step by step.

Step 01

Select and save the builder

Open Setup → Page Builders. Select Avada under 1. Standalone builder. Choose Save changes. A Not detected card lists missing requirements.

Start with the required plugin or theme active. Select this builder and click Save changes. This does not convert existing content.

Step 02

Enable the actions and reconnect

Open Setup → Tools → Avada. Inspect read and write switches; enable the actions needed for this practice task, then Save changes and reconnect your AI app.

Open this integration’s Tools tab. Check both read and write actions; Pro read tools can also start off on a fresh install. Save your choices and reconnect the app so it reads the updated list.

Step 03

Inspect before building

Ask the AI to read Avada Builder's context, supported element controls, and existing design settings.

Ask what this installed version can actually edit. Seeing an element in the catalog does not always mean EMCP can create or change it.

Step 04

Inspect Core content

If Avada Core is active, list existing Portfolio, FAQ, and Slider records before choosing a display element.

We can reuse existing published content in the page. This discovery step does not create new portfolio items or slides.

Step 05

Create the draft

Create an Avada draft with supported containers, rows, columns, and content elements.

Use the supported element list. Some installed elements are visible for inspection only; the AI should not force them into an unsupported write.

Step 06

Add one existing content display

Use an existing FAQ or portfolio source in a supported display element, leaving the source records unchanged.

Check that the right source items appear. The page layout and the records feeding it are separate parts of the site.

Step 07

Read back and preview

Read the saved page again. Open the native editor, then inspect the frontend at desktop and phone widths.

Check the saved content, editing controls, images, and links. If a newer edit is detected, read it before trying again. A save response alone does not prove the page looks right.

You’re done when…

The Avada Builder result remains natively editable and the intended save/publication state is verified.

Keep the reference handy.
