求助：无法删除Avada板块及残留图片，急求解决办法

Hey Elliot, let's tackle this stubborn Avada section removal issue step by step—here are actionable fixes that should help you eliminate that problematic section for good:

1. Verify Avada Builder's Section Removal Workflow #

• Open the page in Avada Builder edit mode. Hover over the section you want to delete—you should see a trash icon or a "Remove Section" option in the context menu.
• Click to delete the section, then make sure to save the page immediately. Sometimes the builder fails to sync changes unless you explicitly save, so don't skip this step.

2. Flush All Caching Layers (Critical for the "Ghost Image" Issue) #

Since the image still appears on the frontend even after being removed from the backend, caching is almost certainly the culprit:

• Browser Cache: Do a hard refresh with Ctrl+Shift+R (Windows) or Cmd+Shift+R (Mac) to bypass local cached content.
• Avada Built-in Cache: Navigate to Avada > Settings > Performance, then click the "Clear Cache" button to purge Avada's internal cache.
• Third-Party Caching: If you use plugins like WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, or Cloudflare, clear their full cache. For Cloudflare, you may need to purge the specific page URL or your entire cache pool.

3. Force Removal via WordPress Database (Advanced) #

If the section is still stuck, its data might be lingering in the post meta:

• First, backup your database—this is non-negotiable to avoid data loss.
• Access phpMyAdmin, locate your WordPress database, and open the wp_postmeta table (your prefix might differ from wp_).
• Search for meta keys like _fusion_builder_data or _fusion_builder_settings linked to your target page. Edit the JSON data to remove only the block corresponding to the problematic section (don't delete the entire meta value!).

4. Revert to a Previous Page Version #

• If you have WordPress revisions enabled (or use a plugin like WP Rollback), revert the page to a version created before the section was added. This is a quick fix if you don't mind losing recent changes—just backup your current page content first.

5. Check for Hardcoded Template Overrides #

• Sometimes sections get embedded directly into custom template files. Go to Appearance > Theme Editor, check if your page uses a custom template, and scan the PHP file for any Avada section code. If found, remove that block (backup the file before editing!).

If none of these steps work, try temporarily disabling other plugins to rule out conflicts, or update Avada to the latest version—old bugs can sometimes cause unresponsive builder elements.
