Divi Quick Actions
Do anything, go anywhere and find what you need within the Divi Builder and on your WordPress website with incredible speed. Using simple commands and an intelligent search system, you can really speed up your web design workflow.
The New Divi Builder Experience
The new Divi Builder experience brings the power of the Visual Builder into the back end, giving you a familiar interface along with all of the great new features that were previously only available in the Visual Builder.
Divi & WordPress 5.0
Using the Divi Builder with WordPress 5.0 is a little different than previous versions. The overall design of the post editor changed, and a new box appears when creating new pages that will allow you to choose between the Divi Builder and the standard WordPress post editor. You can switch between the two at any time.
Dynamic Content
All Divi module content inputs now support the use of Dynamic Content, allowing you to build dynamic modules that display information pulled from your database via post meta, custom fields and more.
Hover Options
Using hover options, you can create stunning hover effects and transform Divi modules into fun and interactive elements. Our hover option interface is unique and amazingly easy to use. Every design setting in Divi that supports transitions can now be customized on hover with ease.
Bulk Editing & Multi-select
Select multiple items at the same time and perform bulk actions to the entire group of elements. You can drag, drop, copy, paste, delete and even edit the design and content of everything at the same time. Instead of making tedious changes to a group of elements one one by one, and over and over again, just select them all and edit everything at once.
Extend Styles
Extend Styles allows you to take any customized style and extend it throughout the page, or to specific elements within specific locations with the click of a button. If you like a color, font, border style or box shadow, and you want to use it elsewhere on the page or even across the entire page, you can now extend those styles and make sweeping changes in no time at all.
New Column Layouts
We extending Divi’s design capabilities by more than doubling the amount of available column structures, including new smaller ⅕ and ⅙ column types that you can use to build a variety of new designs. These new column structures greatly expand upon Divi’s traditionally small selection of columns types and in doing so open up a whole new realm of possibilities.
Drag & Drop File Upload
Drag & Drop File Upload for Divi makes it easier than ever to upload a wide range of files to your page, and have those files automatically transform into Divi modules and other design elements on the fly.
Initial Gutenberg Support
The Divi Builder is now compatible with the Gutenberg editor that was released with WordPress 5.0. You can easily toggle between the Divi Builder and the new editor.
Find And Replace
Everything in the Divi Builder now supports find and replace allowing you to search through your entire page, or a particular part of your page, for specific values and replace those values with something new. This means you can change your entire page’s color scheme, fonts and more in a matter of seconds.
Live Chat Support
A new era of support for the Elegant Themes community focused on personal connections, higher quality conversations and faster response times using a brand new medium. Live Chat is now available for all customers, allowing us to better coordinate our team members and answer your questions quickly.
Custom Post Type Support
Divi Builder support for all custom post types, including automatic support for popular post types such as WooCommerce products, The Events Calendar events and more. This means that you can enable the Divi Builder on any type of post and are no longer be limited to standard Divi post types such as pages, projects and blog posts.
Color Manager & Magic Color Suggestions
The Divi Color Manager is a magical interface that makes it easy to manage colors, access recently used colors and explore the colorscape for new and beautiful color palettes for your website.
Option Quick Access
A major design efficiency improvement for Divi, making it easier and faster to identify and access design options for every element on the page. The new Quick Access options make it easier to understand which design settings affect which elements, and more importantly it allows Divi designers to access those settings more quickly.
Page Creation Workflow
When you create a new page in Divi, you are greeted by three page creation options. You can start from scratch, or you can jump straight into the Divi Library to load a premade layout. You can also instantly clone any existing Divi Builder page on your website and import it directly into the Visual Builder to jumpstart your new page.
Version Rollback System
Roll back to your previously installed Divi version with a single click. If you ever experience a problem after updating, just roll back and address the issue on your website before updating again.
Advanced Filtered & Searchable Design Settings
Design efficiency improvements in the form of Filtered Option Search, allowing you to more easily locate active and relevant options so that you can make quick adjustments without wasting your precious time.
Custom Field Integration For Email Providers & GDPR Compliance Options
Create custom email optin forms, including complete integration with all Divi email providers. This makes it easy to add GDPR compliance checkboxes, as well as create custom list segmentation and email autoresponders.
Copy & Paste Design Styles
Take any design style or collection of styles from one element, and quickly transfer those styles onto any other element on the page with the simple move of your mouse and the click of a button.
Builder Interface Enhancements
Various enhancements to the Visual Builder interface that speed up your design workflow. We love making Divi faster and easier to use, and this update was packed with great interface improvements that will enhance your building experience.

A new API for developers that makes it easy to create custom modules that are compatible with Divi’s Visual Builder. This new API comes with extensive documentation and tutorials, as well as a Create Divi Extension utility that helps you jumpstart your own custom Divi modules
Better Code Editing
Enhanced code editing experience in Divi with the addition of a fully-featured code editor that makes writing and editing code so much easier and enjoyable. Enhancements include syntax highlighting, error reporting, autocomplete, color picking, multi-line select, search, find and replace and more!
Section Shape Dividers
Add custom shapes and effects to your pages, creating dynamic transitions between blocks of content and adding that extra bit of personal flare to your website. Shape Dividers can be placed above and below each section on your website, allowing you to easily build stunning transition effects between different parts of your page.
Divi Layout Library
100’s of beautifully designed premade layouts that you can browse through and import onto your page without ever leaving the Divi Builder. These layouts are organized into complete website packs that you can use to quickly jump-start your next website, and they are filled with wonderful original photography and illustrations that you are free to use on all of your commercial projects.
Divi Help System
Today we are excited to release the Divi Help System including over 70 full length instructional videos organized and accessible right inside the Divi Builder. This unique system gives you and your clients the help you need when and where you need it, allowing you to learn and follow along with our documentation team while you build your website without ever leaving the builder.
Split Testing And Powerful Insights For The Visual Builder
Divi Leads is a powerful split testing system for the Divi Builder that allows you to broadcast different versions of your page to different visitors and figure out which version is most effective at converting your unique goals using powerful stats and insights.

I build website since 10 years and now every new project start with Divi 😉
Thanks you for this job !
Hi, the [Read More] button on the Split Testing section is linking to the wrong page.
Also, congratulations to ET for making Divi into what it is today.
Divi’s intuitive builder helped me translate my design skills into the world of web design. During the past 3 years I have contacted Divi support through their chat at least 15 times. They always helped me and sometimes they even went above and beyond to do so.
Thank you Divi team!
Cool. We have been with DIVI for over two years and it’s amazing to be a DIVI customers.
Thank you for all of the updates – I love seeing the Divi system so regularly improved!!
Aaahhh I was sooo hoping for a little extra announcement! Some of the sneak peeks we are dying to receive! My personal number one being theme builder and templating for blog and custom post types (hello native Woo commerce custom layouts!). Really praying for that one soon. Keep up the good work! #love
Good work ( in a complex environment). Compliments!!
User of Divi since the beginning, i still impressed by all the features and enhancements made by the team! keep up the good work!
As Jack de Heer said : “Happy Birthday”! This time from me, member since last January. French (nobody’s perfect) but living in Burkina Faso 😉
Divi rocks! give it a try.
So awesome, you guys rock. Thank you for your continual updates and amazing products. Congrats on this and all of your successes throughout the years, look forward to seeing (and collaborating with) all of your future products, features and services.
I began using Divi in early 2014 and have never looked back! I am happy to see how far Divi has come in the past year! A few hiccups, but that is to be expected. Overall, a great year, and amazing work by the Elegant Themes folks! Keep it comin’ Y’all!
Good luck ET TEAM!
Thanks for the discount, i was looking to upgrade my account..
I was using divi products last few months ,i must say its awesome. pricing is also great.
Hope more features will be announced in upcoming months..
Congrats Divi creator’s for achieving more success.
Good work Elegant Themes Team,
Happy Birthday.
I realized the power of Divi when I have notice that it was about 3 years that I have not been on themeforest …
Divi is not perfect but for me it is the most comprehensive framework to create website.
The community is very strong, involved and commited to the project …
Happy birth day DIVI !!!
Keep up the good work! I’m looking forward to an awsome 2019 with the theme builder and global styles. Cheers!
Awesome deal! Thanks!
Awesome deal! Thanks
Happy birthday Divi
Glad to be part of your amazing journey which will surely gain so much more traction with your upcoming features! Even your blog has helped me immensely!
Every effort in all your areas is appreciated!
For someone who has been on other platforms and themes divi was life changing! Support has been great and answered, helped me with every query I had, other platforms always had a ‘not part of our service’ attitude, but with divi they just helped and offered solutions no matter what! The theme is great and you can get so creative with little skills! Anyway I could go on and on!
I just wanted to congratulate and show my appreciation for all the things you do including blog posts, tutorials, layouts, features and more.
Thanks here to another great year ahead!
The best thing I could ever do for my website, was to buy Divi!
Happy birthday guys! great job and great vision of a visual constructor! the best in all my +10 years of wordpress experience! thanks a lot!
Man , I really love the Divi Theme.Awesome Work ET.
Congrats for completing 11 awesome years and still continuing with this awesome product. There is no doubt that Divi is one of the finest creation from Elegant Themes.
Great work is done so far, I love Divi Theme, and every update is amazing, most recommended theme i’ll ever suggest, very easy to use and customizable.
The rollout of the Visual Builder was easily the most transformative moment of my career with the ability to wow clients with the ease of editing their sites.
I cannot wait to see what Elegant Themes has in store for us in regards to interactive elements, editable header/footers and who know what else going forwards.
Keep up the excellent work!
Happy birthday from a happy customer who is celebrating his 25th anniversary @ Update-Website.nl.
Keep up the good work !
Being a Graphic Designer for 25+ years has allowed me to see LOTS of changes in the world of web design (to say the least). I’ve designed many websites for myself and for clients and am happy to say from now on I’ll be building them ALL with Elegant Themes and Divi. I can finally get the creative freedom I have always struggled to achieve with other builders (or because of my own dislike of CODE). Now, I can just use it to fine tune. You guys are awesome, thanks!
Still trying to figure out how to use it.
When I first signed up for Elegant Themes, it opened up a whole new world of possibilities for me and enabled me to unfold my creativity. I nearly had a heart attack when Divi was first introduced and downloaded it within minutes after it was published. Ever since I’ve built more than 300 websites with Divi and it was a serious game-changer for my business. To say that I am enthusiastic about Divi and all things ET is an understatement. That said, it’s sad that all my attempts to get ET’s support for the Divi meetups in Prague and Berlin. Nathan doesn’t answer ever since Christina left and that’s sad. We could really create something beautiful for the German and Czech communities here in Europe. But I will keep trying on my own and just make it mine.
As a lifetime member can I wish you all at Elegant Themes a very happy birthday, and here’s to the next 11 years!
Happy Birthday DIVI…
you definitely changed my www life 🙂
divi era lo que necesitaba para que mi página luciera tal y como debía: respetando todos los aspectos de diseño de mi propio trabajo
esto significaba que no podía simplemente comprar una plantilla y darle forma, ya que tendría páginas prefabricadas difíciles de personalizar, y al final no iba a poder plasmar mi estilo ni mi forma de pensar
divi te permite plasmar el diseño de tu empresa, su mecanismo, a un marketing interactivo, algunas animaciones y efectos son sencillamente sorprendentes, y a nivel funcional es aún mejor que antes, así que da mucha confianza a tus visitantes y mejora un poco todo en general
una gran inversión, de momento renovando anualmente pero cerca el comprar la versión de por vida
felicidades por tanto crecimiento en 2018 ?
Divi has transformed the way I build websites and has given me the most incredible platform to build my business around. I love what it does and what it has allowed me to do!
Thanks ET Team!!
Happy Birthday! But you could finally fix the SK_sk language (I also sent you my correct translation, but you ignored it)…
Thankful for Divi and your team – A great theme and company to work with!
Happy Birthday to ElegantThemes.
I’m so happy to have a LifeTime account now!
Congrats! I used Divi for over 4 years now for building websites in Sweden.
Awesome product, keep up the good work!
Congrats for the 11 of Divi been so interactive with its developments and clients.
I am hoping this is going to be even a better year than last.
Happy Birthday to you all.
We have been on our journey over the last year together, we look forward to many more years with all your awesome support.
Best wishes from James and the team at Platinum Emergency Services.
Congratulations guys that’s an awesome achievement.
For the next year I wish that you will devote more time to enhancing the fundament of Divi, Let it be a “we dimished the need for custom code on 80% of all our customers support requests” year.
There are more than enough amazing features in Divi to justify a step back and evaluate which basic features of Divi could be improved upon.
E.g. The blog module and portfolio gird need to be much more customizable. And why is there no feature parity between the full width and normal portfolio grid? Many modules are still too basic and need much too much custom code. Which costs too much valuable time of your support staff and the users. Thanks.
Happy Birthday !
FANTASTIC SUMMARY! I’m saving a permanent link to “Explore Divi’s Surprising Evolution In 2018” Page as a handy way to find easy-to-understand explanations of how to use these new features. Well done!
Happy Birthday and awesome teaching and community too!
Congratulations. Divi is great theme
Looking at the long list of Divi features above is pretty impressive. Can’t wait to see what you have in store for this coming year. Happy Birthday and all the best!
Congratulations! Divi was life changing for me. I was feeling Imposter Syndrome as a web designer so bad that I was considering quitting altogether… then a WordPress Meetup introduced me to Divi. From the moment I realized that I could actually design with it rather than work inside a box template, everything changed. I now love my job more than ever (I’m self employed as a web designer) and I use Divi exclusively. Words can’t express how grateful I am for Elegant Themes, its informative blog, the incredibly helpful Divi community (especially the Facebook groups), and for the fact that ET keeps bringing more updates and improvements to Divi. Every time I think it can’t get any better… it does. I can’t thank Nick and his incredible team enough for everything they do. But I’ll try… THANK YOU!!! Keep up the great work.
Congratulations! Thanks to you I have a stable work flow and a consolidated business. For another 11 years more!
Happy Birthday! I love all that Divi can do. Keep up the great work ET.
As a long-time life-time member – hurrah for 11!
More awesome-ness to come in the future, I’m sure! <3 DIVI
2018 was great but I have concerns about 2019!
I was so pleased with DIVI and have used it on many many websites – I hope you are going to continue to support – I have been very concerned of late on lagging support issues, update problems and integration fails.
My greatest concern is that your lifetime option limits the revenue to continue development and support.
There are many issues in the support forums with no response or resolution.
Y’all are amazing.
Switched a couple of years ago from OptimizePress and haven’t been happier.
You’re moving in the right direction and your aggressive additional feature commitment schedule is beyond amazing.
Became a lifetime subscriber earlier this year and have 0 regrets.
Looking forward to seeing what you’ve got in store for us!
Congratulations!! 3 Year involvement from my side and they have been great. Before Divi I only had Visual Composer as a measurement, so not influenced by many commments on lagging behind your competitors. From my my point of view Divi ROCKS!!
Happy Birthday Elegant Themes!
As long-time Elegant Themes member I’ve been blown away by the continual growth and development I’ve seen over the years. Although I only use Divi for personal and friend’s websites, the ease-of-use, examples and excellent tutorials/documentation have allowed me to design fantastic websites almost effortlessly.
Thanks Elegant Themes! You make me look like a whizz!
Happy Bday Divi, it was a big 2018, let’s hope 2019 brings lots of great features and updates.
Happy Birthday!
I’m a designer and have designed more than 250 website with wordpress platform.
I use many wp themes with page builder inside, honest divi wp themes is the best for me.
I feel more easier work with it such customizing margin, padding also typography in a smallest part.
Keep up the great work Divi!
Amazing job from the Staff.
Thanks you for this job !
Congratulation.
First of all “Fan herte loksinke” as we say in the Frisian language (spoken in the province Fryslân, in the north of the Netherlands).
My / our journey with Elegant Themes started mid 2013. Some of the WordPress Themes and Plugins you guys created, fitted exactly to what we were searching for those days.
The birth of Divi in December that year changed a lot. The timing was perfect and soon two big projects (Pangasius Branding Platform and a Destination marketing platform for the island Borneo) were created in Divi. Soon I started using the shortcodes generated by the Divi builder in page templates (there was no Divi Library etc yet). Perfectly styled Posts where the results.
These days, Divi became my standard framework. Although there are lot of mixed feelings about Divi, we’ve always found a way to come to a solution.
My standard development items are, WordPress, Divi, Divi Child, Toolset Plugins, CPT Layout Injector, and depending on the project other (Divi related) Plugins. Divi and Toolset became our perfect combination. Creating Country specific sector branding platforms, employer branding – job/vacancy sites, and so on.
Hopefully you’ll come up with some of the features communicated in the feature sneak peaks… such as:
page / post templates. I’m really looking forward testing such functionality together with Toolset.
Customization of header using the Divi builder?
One of the things i’m still missing and what has been asked for on Social Media by the community: settings default values for H1 .. H1 site wide (preferably with Desktop, Tablet, Mobile settings). Of course we can copy styles etc from module to module or form page to page, but it would really speed up the whole process of building consistent looking pages
.For sure WP 5.0 slowed doen the whole process of releasing new features, but hopefully you guys get back on track again. Please don’t forget to keep offering great support. The bigger the community, the bigger the support team needs to be.
Last but not least: this won’t be the easiest thing, but please consider rewriting parts of your css / classes. At the moment Divi uses classes that are also used by BootStrap. Lots of plugins etc use bootstrap for responsiveness, or maybe write a full documentation on the Divi Responsive CSS classes, but to be honest Bootstrap offers more freedom!
ET, Keep up the great work!
I am loving Divi’s and installing it on mostly blog that need to be more attractive to get readers attention.
Nick – you’ve achieved amazing results in a really short time frame with your themes / plugins, framework, and team.
Your vision has blossomed and now thousands use your solutions to serve millions of website visitors every day.
Many of us are quick to level criticisms at ET, and not so quick to level praise and appreciation. So may WE correct that today, and may YOU and all of ET have a happy birthday.
Congratulations and thanks for the great solutions that ET provides!
That being said… I must agree with several comments above. The main weakness right now w/ ET is SUPPORTING the breakneck development pace. ET has tried some novel approaches that for many of us, just don’t get the job done.
It would be a horrible thing to see ET enter a cascading “fail” due to something as simple and foundational as plain good ‘ole customer support.
Collectively… support remains the weakest link in the otherwise very strong ET value chain.
Happy Birthday, wonderful team.
A big hug from Italy 😉
Hi, I’m buying the plan today, it was an indication from a friend. I hope everything goes well.
Hugs from Brazil.

Congratulations you guys. I appreciate your product a great deal! I hope you will come out with ‘pre-made modules’ soon~!! The layouts are really great, but as I’ve gotten better at using divi, I am no longer using one whole layout ‘top-to-bottom’…Now I will take some modules from some pre-made layouts and combine them with a different layout, and then I go back and match the style elements. (Am I alone?) So on that note–individual pre-made modules (like a countdown timer for example) would make divi…dare I say…PERFECT??
In any case, keep up the great work!
Happy Birthday!
The article describes 29 functions. You missed the description of the “Divi Design Initiative”
But all the same it gives you an impression!
Good luck ET TEAM!
Happy Birthday Divi. You have been a big blessing!
I’m member since last year and Divi made creating easy and fun. Waiting for announce features which I’m sure will be just awesome. Congratulations!
