The overlay always matches the wrapped region.

Example of content gate…

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..”, comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since 1966 is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.

Use cases

01

Gated whitepaper or resource sections where email capture precedes the download area.

02

Wrap-mode containers hiding a pricing table until a short lead form is completed.

03

Selector-mode overlays targeting an existing section on a long landing page.

Key features

What the element does, in plain terms. Every individual control is listed in the settings reference below.

Targeting

Wrap mode

The recommended mode. The gate wraps child builder content, so the overlay size always matches the wrapped region.

Selector mode

A CSS selector targets an existing element elsewhere on the page, and a ResizeObserver keeps the overlay aligned through resizes and image loads.

Reveal

Avada Form integration

Pick a form from the site. The reveal triggers on that formโ€™s client-side success event, scoped to the embedded instance.

Remember reveal

Session storage, a persistent cookie for a set number of days, or off. The setting is applied early so returning visitors do not see an overlay flash.

Reduced-motion-aware reveal

The overlay is removed instantly when prefers-reduced-motion is set.

Presentation

Overlay design

Background colour, blur, heading, description text, typography, padding, maximum form width, and z-index.

Optional inspect deterrent

A minor context menu block that follows the same honest philosophy as Content Protection.

Settings reference

Every setting the element exposes, grouped by builder tab. Options are listed where the setting offers a fixed set of choices.

Targeting General tab

Mode

Wrap ยท Selector

Wrap places the gated content inside the element, which keeps the overlay perfectly aligned. Selector points at an existing element by CSS selector, which suits content you cannot move.

CSS selector

The target for selector mode, for example an ID on an existing section.

Form and reveal General tab

Avada Form

Which form must be submitted. If no form is selected, visitors see no overlay and editors see a warning.

Remember reveal

Session ยท Cookie for N days ยท Off

How long a successful reveal is remembered for that visitor.

Cookie duration

Days

How many days the persistent cookie lasts when the cookie option is selected.

Overlay design Design tab

Heading

Dynamic Data

The headline shown on the overlay, which should state what the visitor gets.

Description

Dynamic Data

Supporting copy under the heading.

Background colour

Colour of the overlay panel over the hidden content.

Blur

How strongly the content beneath is blurred, which hints at what is behind the gate.

Typography

Font controls for the heading and description.

Overlay padding

Space between the overlay edge and its content.

Maximum form width

Caps the form width so fields do not stretch across a wide section.

Z-index

Stacking order, for pages where other fixed elements overlap the gated region.

Inspect deterrent

On ยท Off

A minor context menu block on the gated region. It is a deterrent, not protection.

Margin

Per breakpoint

Outer spacing around the element, set separately for large, medium, and small screens and scoped to this element instance.

Padding

Per breakpoint

Inner spacing between the element container edge and its content, also set per breakpoint.

Extras Extras tab

Conditional Rendering

Avada logic conditions

Shows or hides the element based on logged-in state, user role, and the other conditions Avada’s logic system offers.
