How to Add the Divi Gallery Module to Your Page

Before you can add the Divi Gallery module to your website, you’ll need to have the Divi theme installed on your WordPress website. Learn how to install the Divi theme on your WordPress website here. Once you have the Divi theme installed and activated, we can begin using the features and functionalities of Divi.

Add a Page and Load the Divi Builder

To get started, add a new page to your website. By default, the Standard Gutenberg Editor loads whenever a new post or page is added in WordPress. To load the Divi builder on any post or page, click the purple button underneath the page title that says “Use The Divi Builder”.

Once clicked, this will reload the page with the Divi Visual Builder. As your page reloads, you’ll notice three options that come up: Build From Scratch, Choose A Premade Layout, and Clone An Existing Page.

Build From Scratch

This option loads the Divi Builder with a blank page design. Choose this option if you’d like to start your page design from scratch.

Choose a Premade Layout

This option allows you to choose from our large library of pre-designed Divi layouts. You can choose from premade layouts by Divi, pre-made layouts you’ve designed and saved to your Divi Library, and existing pages on your website that you can clone.

Clone an Existing Page

This option allows you to copy another page design on your website and use it for the page you’re editing. Select this option if you’d like to load an exact copy of an existing page that you’ve already designed on your website.

Select, Build From Scratch.

Add The Divi Gallery Module

When you load the Visual Builder, Divi automatically adds a section and a row. You can learn more about how to modify and customize sections here and rows here. Once the section, row, and columns are set up, click on the grey “+” icon inside the row. This brings up the Divi Module Library which contains all the modules included with the Divi theme. Scroll down to Gallery and click on it to load the module. The module library is also searchable. Type the name of the module you want in the search bar at the top.

All Divi Gallery Module Options Explained

Once added, the module settings automatically pop up. This is where all of the content and design styles for this module are configured. These settings are organized into three groups via the tabs at the top of the module: Content, Design, and Advanced.

Content Settings

Inside this tab, you’ll find the content options available for the Divi Gallery Module.
