Divi 2.2 Has Arrived With New Video & Video Slider Modules

I have encountered an annoying issue with using this Video SLIDER module with Vimeo — at certain ‘wider’ browser sizes, the bottom Vimeo tool bar shifts below the viewing pane of the slider, and is not visible. I do not encounter this with YouTube. Has anyone encountered this, and is there a fix?

Nick – like the Divi theme but very disappointed that after building out the site, seeing that background video displays when you look at the Mobile settings in the Divi Theme Customizer… but then actually previewing the page on my iPhone and iPad, discovering background video is NOT supported on mobile. Finally found where it tells you that in the Row admin section.
Why is this? And do you have any plans to get BG video working on mobile?

Hi guys,

the “rel=0” issue can be solved like this in a custom plugin:


add_filter( 'oembed_dataparse', 'add_youtube_norel', 11, 3 );
function add_youtube_norel( $return, $data, $url ) {
return str_replace( '=oembed', '=oembed&rel=0', $return );
}

This has nothing to do with DIvi. Divi simply uses the WP oembed API, so a WP filter does the trick.

I think the best and quickest way to download the whole playlist of videos from YouTube all at once is here at Allavsoft

Hi, is it possible to use a youtube video as a fullwidth background video in divi?

i can see how you add the youtube url for a video slider but it’s not fullwidth it only seems to allow you to upload a video for the fullwidth background video.

thanks

How do you make the logo larger. Due to updating to 2.3.1 it’s tiny!

How to insert Revolution slider in Divi WordPress theme in full-width

I’d like to throw my hat in the ring for Wista video support. Please!!

Love the DIVI theme, but somehow I can’t get the “read more” link to work under my excerpts on category pages. They disappeared when we last updated our divi theme. Tried adding code to the functions.php but that crashed my entire page. Any idea how to get them back? We’ve had users complain thinking they can’t access single posts anymore because they can’t find the “read more” link… Would be great it that could be fixed or someone has got a solution for this???

Hi Nick. Been using ET for about a year now and just love Divi! What would be a really useful addition would be the possibility to copy modules from one page to another, I have a client who has suddenly decided that they would like one of the modules I have added on each page. I know I can save layouts but not individual modules to add to another layout. Maybe a good update idea. Thanks Martin

We will soon release a video blog. I can’t tell you how much this feature will assist us. As always elegant themes , You really set the standard! My comments are much later than expected because this feature was released in November but I am very appreciative. This will help increase business for our martial arts studio in Orland Park Illinois.

How Come the video sliders don’t work on mobile devices?

Can Divi embrace, by option, the world of SPA (single page apps) ?

Hi,
I want to update Divi child theme. My website is currently running Divi v1.0.0. I have downloaded v2.2. Ho can i update. Any help please.

Thanks

Divi is working fine on my site with WP 4.1, however the Yoast issue is a problem that needs to be fixed asap.

Is something in the immediate pipeline Nick?

Hi there:) I’m just wondering if there is a good way to slide between audio? as with the video slider, just minus the video and using only the playback options?

Can you please comment if Custom Pages are likely on the next update of DIVI?

It seems the theme is perfect for it but it’s not a part of it. Would really help in creating a full CMS.

Hey team,

I have been anxiously awaiting this update and am VERY excited to get started with it but every time I try to update to 2.2 it crashes my WP Instance – I end up with a blank white screen on both WP Admin and the live website. I have implemented a child theme for my modifications if that makes any difference. Fortunately I have WPEngine to roll back but I’d love some support with this. Any suggestions would be very much welcomed. I’m excited to get started with this.

Thanks!

I agree with the rest, we’re expecting Extra or really helpfull upgrades for Divi, this post doesn’t exite us that much.

I think Divi is a great Theme, I really do, but I also think has lots and lots of room for improvement and the video slider is not a priority at all. As other people here have pointed out, if u were releasing updates every month or so, this would have had a better response, but being so far apart in time, this is not what we are waiting for.

Even Visual Composer (VC) and Site Origin Page Builder are not themes, I think the Divi Page Builder has lots of things to learn from them:

– I think the admin label field is too basic. Visual Composer not only tells u the type of modelue u’re using, it also previews the content inside the module so u don’t have to access it. I’m not saying I need to see alll the module contents, but some of it so I can remember what’s inside. Yes, Divi lets u customize the admin label text, but that is not practical at all, that makes us lose time.

– Site Origin Page Builder lets you customize the row bottom margin and cell side margins all at once from the plugin options pannel. I think it would be great to being able to reduce the default Divi margins…, too big for most of my clients.

– Sections… I don’t really understand why there are 3 types of sections. Don’t get me wrong, I understand the purpose u have giving them, but I think are useless. In fact, the way u’ve designed them don’t add much, instead limit a lot the posible layouts we can create. Why would us want the Fullwidth section to be that limited when it comes to modules available for it? Wouldn’t be much better to have a unique type of section with all the modules availble with a “Convert to Fullwidth section” checkbox that when checked all the modules would addapt to it…? And what about that speciality section… Wouldn’t add much more value the ability to add rows inside columns in the default Section type as VC does? The speciality sections cuts freedom in a half, I cannot use it most of the time.

– Why all the different modules that include images have different options for managing them…? Why u suppose that we want to do different things with them, they are images, we usually want to align them, animate them, etc.

– I totaly agree with those that asked for being able to lock some things out from Page Builder so clients don’t mess up with our work. In fact, one of the things I get more scared of is that they can delete saved layouts by mistake, that’s a big concern.

– And would be great being able to hide Divi’s default saved layouts. I understand that some people woud use them, but I use Divi to create customized themes, not to reuse the layouts that come with it. The option to hide them would be great, so each one of us could decide what to do.

– And something it’s very frustrating is that we can’t create more than 4 columns….. There are lots of times that I’ve needed 5 columns, I’m not asking for 6 or 7, just 5. That’s a very common column number for a site.

My point is that there are lots of things that come first. A video slider is not a priority, there are plenty of plugins for that. In fact, I’m using Revolution Slider wich does everything u’ve created for your video slider and much, much more, so I have no reason to use your new module at all, it’s still a baby compared to Revolution Slider and lots of other plugins.

Wouldn’t be better to use the energy and resurces to upgrade Dive in ways that any other plugin could (as the examples I’ve given)?

Thanks.

Hi guys,

Great update. Is it possible to use the Video Slider module for images as well?

Cheers BK

I know I say this often….but Elegant Themes is truly one of the very best out there! KUDOS!

LOVING DIVI.

Had a request for this module just last month with another client! Now, I can go back and offer!

1) Would be nice to have VIDEO CAPTION feature with thumbnails.
2) Would love AUTOMATIC THUMBNAIL ADJUSTMENT so the viewer can see that there are more than 4 videos in slider que because the choices are not obvious.
3) Please update code so main video fits inside MAIN VIDEO window. Can’t see my Lower Third graphics.
4) Would be nice to have choice of AUTO PLAY feature for main video.

Thanks, sooooooooo much!

Fantastic addition just what I was waiting for, really pleased with this now I can incorporate video without 3rd party players

thank ET

Amazing work, Nick. Divi is an ultimate solution for WordPress based websites.

Congrats – but in the next update, can you please finally remove the credits from the footer.php section? We shouldn’t have to go in and amend this back to customized text every update.

Thanks.

Hi Nick,

Great stuff.

One question for you though.

Does the video module allow for event tracking in Google Analytics?

I had to set up a site last week and had to include the following code “enablejsapi=1” within the YouTube embedded code so it can be tracked. Also can “&rel=0″ be added so that related videos don’t show at the end of a YouTube video.

Cheers,

Shane

Really great new additions, only wish it had been a month ago! Would have been perfect to use on the film festival site I’ve been building (festival began today)… Keep up the great work, and thank you.

Thanks for this useful addition to the best WP theme! RE: Extra: would rather wait patiently for proper development and your confidence in its release, than rush release with a second version following quickly to fix big bugs. Too many software and product developers do the rush these days.
Cheers to Nick and ET Team!

Awesome addition of the video slider with thumbnail track. We’ve been looking at a variety of ways to organize our video how to content for one of our sites and being able to display this way has just provided us with what we think will be a great solution!

It also works with video stored in Amazon S3 and the player is responsive. So far so good, great job !

Awsome! But I’ waiting 4 new template? When?

best regards

You guys have literally the best WordPress theme available! Thanks for the update! Your work changed the way I viewed self-hosted WordPress design (I used to get frustrated – a lot).

Great nifty additions.

Question about team members though – is any custom css via theme options/child theme going to be affected (i.e changed id/class names?)

NICE! Luv the scroll feature thumbnail track for the videos. I haven’t used Divi yet on any projects but I’ll have to create my own personal project just so I can implement the new videos feature. Just luv it! Beautiful work Nick. Will that thumbnail-track scroll feature be available in Extra for posts and/or videos? It will be a great feature to have on the front page for video and posts categories.
