No SVG Support for Header 1 in Avada 6.* ?

Hi Avada Team,

I am spinning up a new site for a new client. I decided to go with Avada for this particular client. Since Avada 6 is out, I bit the bullet (maybe too early) and upgraded to 6.0.1.

One of the first things I did was try to add my client’s logo (SVG) to the Header 1 layout. I wasn’t even given the option to select a SVG file in the media library browser. So, I replaced the default demo logos references in the DB with the references to my client’s SVG file. And, nada/nothing. It looks like AVada 6 is completely ignoring SVG files in the header logo area?

I did a quick search in the Avada docs. The Header Layouts doc still says SVG is supported for Header 1.

Retina-enabled screens. For more information on how Avada controls responsive images, please read this article. It is also possible to use SVG logos in Avada.

I ended up converting the SVG to PNG (regular and retina) as a band-aid.

I’d love to see SVG supported in the header logos again. Can you give us an ETA on when SVG support will be added back into Avada headers?

Thanks!

Thanks for the prompt reply, Ammar.

Yes, I’m aware of your Using SVG in Avada article. Like all your documentation, it’s well written and clear. But, I don’t see how it’s possible to add a code block (as the article specifies) into the logo settings for Header 1 in the Avada Theme Options. Maybe I’m missing something? I’ve been spinning up and deploying Avada sites since 2015. It’s always possible I could be missing something 😉

Anyway, I know for sure I can easily add a SVG logo files to my headers in Avada 5.9.1 through the logo options interface. Using Avada 6 today for the first time, I wasn’t able to (my uploaded SVG file wasn’t showing up as an option to select from). Again, maybe I’m missing something simple here–hopefully.

I appreciate the reminder that I have active support. Ironically, I’ve deployed so many Avada sites for other people that I forgot I have support of my own lol. I’ll follow-up with a formal support ticket.

Thanks again!

Hello,

I am also aware of that article but for some reason I can’t get SVG files to display. It lets me upload the file, but it just displays blank. I confirmed that my SVG files have height and width properties in the code as described by your article but it still doesn’t work. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Tommy

Hi there,

If anyone like me is still looking for a solution (I found this page first today, because I saw a tutorial by Theme Fusion saying I could use SVG logo in header but was unable to upload it, so looked for some help), here it is. I looked a little bit around and found the topic on WordPress.org (https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sorry-this-file-type-is-not-permitted-for-security-reasons-16/). You can read and understand the issue there. The solution (explicitly tried on Avada) is a bit of code you should add to functions.php sheet. I did it and it worked.
The piece of code is this, but please go to page to understand by yourself:

function fix_avada_mime_types($mime){
	$mime['svg']='image/svg+xml';
	return $mime;
}
add_filter('upload_mimes', 'fix_avada_mime_types', 99);

Regards,

Giuseppe

It didn’t word for me. So are there any other ideas?
When will Avada have this fixed?

This article helped me. I had to add the width and height of the vector to the actual file itself in an editor to get it to pull.
