Play Button

Today I am extremely happy to announce the release of Divi 2.7. This version of Divi has some game-changing features that are worthy of excitement, including the all new Divi Leads split testing and conversion optimization system, a greatly enhanced Portability System, the addition of useful Divi Builder Page Options, and a super smart new Dynamic Help System that helps you solve Divi Builder problems without wasting your precious time. These are super cool features that promise to make Divi more effective, collaborative and user-friendly than ever before. Let’s dig in!

A Match Made In Heaven

The Divi Builder is already an incredibly powerful landing page builder. When combined with Divi Leads, it becomes the ultimate marketing tool. Not only can you build amazing landing pages, you can now put them to the test, analyzing and recording the effectiveness of your designs to help improve conversion rates and generate more leads.

01

The idea behind Divi Leads is simple: 1) Create different versions of your page. 2) Select a goal. 3) Let Divi Leads figure out which version of your page is most effective at converting to that goal. This is what is known as Split Testing (also referred to as A/B Testing).

variation

Let’s consider a standard homepage. When someone lands on that page, you want to do everything you can to grab their attention and direct them towards your desired goal, whether that be clicking a button, signing up to your mailing list or purchasing your product. How might the intrigue of your headline affect the bounce rate for new visitors? How might the size, color and text of the button in your call-to-action affect a visitor’s propensity to click? How might the combination of these factors ultimately affect the goal at the end of your sales funnel? These are all questions that can now be answered using Divi Leads.

03

Test Anything

Since Divi Leads has been integrated directly into the Divi Builder, anything can be tested. You are not limited to testing entire pages. You can test individual modules or entire sections of content. Change your content, adjust your design and the position of elements to figure out what works through statistical analysis.

05

Add Unlimited Variations

You can create an unlimited amount of test subjects. Do you have 20 different headlines that you want to test out? If you have enough traffic to support it, then you can add all variations at once to figure out which one will surface as the winner. This saves you a ton of time compared to traditional AB Testing. Divi Leads all makes it easy to see which variations are most effective. All items are color coded based on performance, and conversion rates are added right into the builder UI.

04

Create Custom Goals

Not only can Divi Leads be used to test any element, it can also be used to test a wide array of goals. In Divi Leads, anything can be a goal. Is the purpose of your page to increase clicks to your Call To Action module? Simply assign the Call To Action module as your goal. Is your goal to increase lead generation through your Contact Form? Well then simply assign the Contact Form module as your goal. Do you want to increase sales? The eCommerce module can be selected as a goal too. No matter what you select as your goal, Divi Leads will determine relevant engagement stats and track them to figure out which variations best accomplish the goal that you have assigned.

06

Divi Leads supports off-page goals as well, which means you can track both on-page conversions while at the same time tracking conversions at the end of your sales funnel using our custom tracking shortcode.

shortcode-tracker

For example, you could test the effectiveness of your current page at increasing clicks to your “Product Features,” button, while at the same time using the custom tracking shortcode on your purchase confirmation page to see how your current test affects not only clicks to your product page, but ultimately how it affects product purchases at the end of your sales funnel.

Incredibly Easy To Use

We built a custom UI for Divi Leads that makes building new tests super simple. Simply right click on any element and choose “Split Test” to begin. Divi will prompt you to select your goal and then your test is ready to go! Your test subject will be duplicated and you can begin configuring both variations. Over time Divi Leads will track the effectiveness of both versions, which can be analyzed using the custom stats interface.

07

Powerful Stats & Insights

Divi Leads includes all kinds of great stats, all of which are consolidated into a brand new stats interface. Divi Leads will track clicks, sales, conversions, bounce rate and goal engagement metrics. When a split test is running, a new animated stats icon will appear.

stats-final

Clicking this new icon will bring up loads of useful stats for the current split test. These metrics are tailored towards your specific test based on the goal you have chosen.

08

Import/Export Divi Builder Layouts

We have greatly improved the import & export system for the Divi Library. It’s now easier than ever to transfer Divi Library items from one website to another, back them up or share them with your friends! The new UI is beautiful and easy to use.

export-gif

You can export any number of items from your Divi Library or export individual layouts as you build them right from inside the Divi Builder. Divi packages these exports into a JSON file that can be imported into any website.

Encoded Images

One of the major innovations with the new portability system is that it encodes your images right into the export files. When you import your layouts, the portability system automatically adds these images to your Media Library and updates the URLs inside the layouts to match your website. No matter where you import your layouts, they will work like magic right out of the box! This turns Divi Library Packs into independent and incredibly easy to use design templates.

encoded_images_export_variant_variant_3

The Power Of Library Packs

Divi Library Packs are now incredibly versatile. Think of them like mini pre-made templates inside of Divi. When combined with custom images and design settings, a collection of Divi Library items can be used to create an entire custom website and then re-used on future projects. Since each item includes images and the custom design settings and CSS added to the page and elements within the Divi Builder, library exports are completely self-reliant.

save_for_later

Start building up your own personal collection of Divi Library items to use for your future clients. Jumpstarting your next website is going to be lightning fast! Export your Divi Library items into packs that can be shared with your friends or sold to your peers. The new portability system lays the groundwork for a thriving Divi Library community.

share

Theme Options

Theme Options are now portable as well. You can export your Divi Theme Options and import them onto a different website, or save your favorite Theme Option presets to jumpstart your next client build.

import

Theme Customizer Settings

We didn’t stop there. The new portability system extends to Theme Customizer settings as well. Now you can download all of your Divi customizations. Considering the huge breadth of settings available in the Theme Customizer, countless different website styles can be created. Now you can save these as presets to use on future products, or you can use the portability system to transfer settings from one host to another.

theme-customizer-export

Import & Export Divi Roles

Divi Roles can also be imported and exported. This brings the portability system full circle, having been integrated into every single part of Divi and the Divi Builder.

A Brand New Set Of Options

When using the Divi Builder, you will notice a new settings icon at the top right of the Divi Builder interface. Much like the settings that exist for modules, rows and sections, settings now exist for the entire Divi Builder page. Here we have placed settings that affect the entire page, such as margin and color defaults. It’s also used to enable/disable page-specific features, such as the new Divi Leads Split Testing system.

adjust_defaults

One of my favorite new features found in this new set of options is the Custom Color Picker Palette. Here you can choose a color scheme for your page. Every time you open up the Divi Builder color picker, your color palette will appear in the color picker for easy access.

custom_color_palette

You can also enable a site-wide color palette in the Divi Theme Options! Once you set your website’s color palette in ePanel, every time you use the color picker your chosen colors will appear.

epanel-colors

Also found in the new Divi Page Settings is a Custom CSS Box that can be used to add custom CSS to the specific page you are working on. This is much more convenient than adding CSS to a Child Theme or within the Divi Theme Options where you would be forced to target specific post IDs and load the custom CSS on your entire site where it is often not needed.

custom_css

Help When You Need It

When the Divi Builder fails to load, you will no longer get the spinning wheel of death with no clues as to what might have gone wrong. Now the Divi Builder knows when it fails and it tries to figure out why. The Divi Builder detects common problems and gives you solutions. It will look for things like memory errors, wp-config misconfigurations, unwanted cached files, outdated theme and WordPress versions, plugin incompatibilities and more. This is the beginning to what we hope will become an even more robust self-help system in the future.

The New Divi AI Image Editor

The New Divi AI Image Editor

Posted on January 18, 2024 in Theme Releases

Divi AI now comes with an advanced AI Image Editor that you can use to modify images on the fly right inside the builder. Not only can you generate brand new images out of thin air, reimagine them, and change their styles, but you can also use the power of AI to modify specific details about an...

  1. Love it guys well done, I’ll be working with the new version shortly.

  2. Great work guys 🙂
    Looking forward to version 3. I heard its gonna be all front-ended.

  3. I love it more and more, but damn… those missing header customizations :/

  4. I LOVE the new features!

  5. Absolutely love the 2.7 update, split testing will become so useful!

  6. WOW! It’s awesome! I was looking for this update. So many clients was asking about it for last few months. I told them this will come soon. I like to work with this theme. Thanks!

  7. Hello,

    I like the Divi fonctionnalities and I would like to know if :
    – it is possible to make the header transparent and change its font (I would like one more “feminin”)
    – Is it appropriate for a fashion blog/magazine?
    Thanks,

  8. I am very satisfied with Divi, the only thing i am missing is the front end builder, so you directly see your result on the screen instead of previewing.

  9. Does DIVI leads systems support google Adwords somehow? Thanks

  10. Can’t install theme “Wordpess failure notice” Are you sure want to do this? Please Try again

    How can i install

  11. New items saved in divi library are not shown in builder – so not usable

  12. Had a lot of hassle with Divi – layout options did not save, and after working on a real project it turned out the Library is not working at all.
    In the library all items are there, but in Builder there all is empty when trying to get an item from library…
    Seems a lot of half developed issues – most odd thing is Divi SLIDER, which on first look is great, but logic and usability do not match any daily needs. You even can not align text left, right or middle. And the guide is very poor, as images are breaking the layout concept. Nobody knows how to setup a slider precisely…

  13. Hello,
    The new updates are great but one thing I miss in Divi is API kind of access to various modules/functions of divi.
    Example is if I want particular posts (which can be in particular category or custom posts) to have full width headers from specific images/custom fields in the post data, in current state that is not feasible to achieve with Divi.
    I can do it manually for each post using divi builder for those posts but then if there are hundred or thousands of posts its just too cumbersome.
    Wordpress provides templates for such cases but then Divi builder can not be used in templates (visually) but if there was access to modules, it would be easy to call that module in template with custom data.

    Hope you guys will provide or at least consider to provide such functionality in future versions.

    Thanks,
    Hemant

  14. Wow these are some awesome updates. Great work guys!

  15. This is very helpful! Thanks a lot!

  16. Can’t wait to try this out on a couple form variations I’ve been working on. Super excited to update! Thanks guys you rock!

  17. How about giving users’ the option to show tags on posts instead of disabling it? Many bloggers and their readers actually want and use that core piece of WordPress functionality. It’s not in Divi and you released Extra without it. This seems like a change from the advice in the ET blog post less than eighteen months ago.

    https://www.elegantthemes.com/blog/tips-tricks/best-practices-for-using-categories-and-tags-in-wordpress

    Which is it, are you abandoning post tags or are the “features” breaking WordPress?

    • the biggest problem is, the tags are not working at all in extra, I am waiting for the update, but nothing is happening in that matter

  18. Divi..Not Fivi 😛

  19. Maybe this is a daft question I am new to Fivi. Does the upgrade happen automatically or do I need to reinstall something?

  20. Hey Guys, this release is awesome. The Split testing is an absolutely great idea, and very well implemented. I’d love to be able to split test an entire page, though.

    One thing that has irritated me, if I use the divi builder on a post, and it’s a video post, it’s no longer recognising the video in the content and displaying it as a video in the blog module. Even if I use the Video module to include it in the post. I’d love to see the option for video included in the Post Title module.

    Here’s my big request for the feature that would Divi the ULTIMATE page builder theme:
    I want to see a category builder included just like the one in Extra, but take that concept further and have a Default Page builder where can build the default Post Page (for each post type), Category pages, Search Results, 404 etc. All you need is a Content Module that displays the post or page content, similar to the post title module.

    Anyway keep up the good work!

  21. Please Update DIVI – Today since the WordPress 4.5 we had alot of problems. I can’t delete sections that i do not need on Divi Page Builder after 4.5 WordPress update. i was able to locate and fix the theme issue, but builder is still causing troubles. And my site looks Horrible

    • Hey Seremi,

      Try disabling Bloom, Monarch, and Divi. Then, update Divi and reactivate everything. If this does not work please create a ticket in our support forums so that they can help you out http://elegantthemes.com/forum

  22. Great & Smooth Design ..

  23. Great Update!!
    How can I add more splitt tests? My landingpage have 5 call to action buttons.

    • You just click the copy icon on one of the modules you are split testing to add more versions of it to the test.

  24. hello I tried to update to divi 2.7 and crashed my website…and the error shows up when I simply try to activiate divi now as well…

  25. Hi,

    I would love to try the new free layouts but I couldn’t upload it to the site: it’s hangs at 1% for about 5 minutes and then drops off. I’ve tried some suggestions here to no avail. How can I upload those layouts to my site?

    Thanks!
    Val

    • Hi Val, if you’re still having trouble please create a ticket in our support forum so we can help you out with that. http://elegantthemes.com/forum

  26. These are awesome features! Can’t wait to try them!

  27. Hi,

    Im existing member with developer plan.Can I know how I can get this new Divi 2.7 version.

  28. Great! Now we no longer need to pay for any A/B testing tools, as it is already integrated in Divi.

  29. Great update! I was thinking when you Exported and Imported a Divi Layout, the custom CSS in the Divi Builder Settings for that layout would also be exported/imported…but this doesn’t seem to be the case.

    It’d be great if that was the case…maybe in 3.0?

    Thanks y’all!!! Have a great day! =)

  30. Wonderful job on the latest Divi! however, when I go to upload the free library pack, the import gets to 100% and then I get a big red X, and the import doesn’t work. Please help!

    Thanks.

    • You may be experiencing file size restrictions via your server. You can check to see if this is the case by talking with your hosting support. Eduard from our support staff suggested the following:

      Check to see if the php directories in the php.ini file are less than:

      post_max_size 128M
      max_execution_time 180
      upload_max_filesize 256M
      max_input_time 600
      max_input_vars 5000

      Also a good place to look is in your file and folder permissions. You can follow this process:

      Please log into your server via FTP using FileZilla (http://filezilla.org) or another FTP Client and fix the permissions like this:

      1. Right click on the “wp-content” directory
      2. Select File Permissions
      3. In the field labeled: “Numeric value:” input 755
      4. Select the check box labeled: “Recurse into subdirectories”
      5. Select the check box labeled: “Apply to directories only”
      6. Press Okay

      Once that completes, follow the same steps above but make these changes:

      3. In the field labeled: “Numeric value:” input 644
      5. Select the check box labeled: “Apply to files only”

      If the above solutions do not work, please create a support ticket in our forum so we can follow up with you http://elegantthemes.com/forum

      • Can the file be manually uploaded, if so where to?

  31. Is there any plans to create a marketplace or community area where we can upload our design packs either for free or fee?

  32. Best theme I’ve used in all my projects! Easy building landing pages.

  33. Amazing, as always. Incredible update.

  34. Just keeps getting better and better! 🙂

  35. When will the Elegant Themes Updater show that the update is ready?

  36. These are awesome features! Can’t wait to try them!

  37. Hi,

    The new update is great and useful for people who know what they are doing. I have noticed a common issue with the portability features that I imagine will cause problems for people trying to move layouts between sites.

    Most the JSON files that get created from my full page layouts are very large. Nearly always over 10mb. The wordpress max file size upload limit is often below this on the majority of sites i work on… especially on clients own shared hosting servers.

    I know the process to increase the limits but sometimes it needs to be done server side by their hosts and sometimes it is not possible.

    The old xml import export option for layouts worked better in this regard… but this option no longer exists.

    I am back to using the built in wordpress import/export features to move layouts between sites.

  38. Awesome. I’ve been a elegant themes member for over a week now and this is an awesome upgrade for my clients.

  39. Divi is the best theme I’ve used in all my projects! Great!

  40. split test & bounce rate … hmm… that’s interesting and welcome features.

  41. Divi moved me to use only Divi theme for all my projects.. great work ET

  42. Hyyype for thisnupdate

  43. I love the split testing! That will prove to be an invaluable tool for developers! I’m loving the Divi theme, and updates are great to have! Keep up the good work!

  44. Oh my.. You keep on delivering fabulous new functions again and again.. some are things I wouldn’t have even dreamed of asking for. You BLOW my mind with the fabulous service and value you give us. Cheers. 😀

  45. Amazing updates to discover! Thanks guys for the hard work and keep going!

  46. I have always loved the look of Divi…hopefully I can now win a membership to actually use it!

  47. Cannot wait to add this to my repertoire and ultimately share that knowledge with my clients! Power stuff here.

  48. I hope i win 🙂

  49. When I thought that they could not improve more, I was surprised. Congratulations!

  50. A/B testing is what our latest client was looking for. Now it comes included in the template system. Excellent!

  51. I like DIVI because I know they are working hard to keep it up to date even in the future.

  52. Looking awesome, cant wait to try out the new features!

  53. Thanks for layout pack and this update.

  54. The portability of Divi 2.7 looks awesome! It’ll be really useful for setting up new sites with my personalised default settings 🙂

  55. Gets better every update!

  56. Amazing new features. Can’t wait to try! Thanks Nick!

  57. Love these updates!

  58. WOW!!!! You can test everything!!! It`s amazing!!!! Divi is the best theme

  59. This is EPIC!

  60. Looks like I made the right decision to go with Divi and now more anxious to see these new features!

  61. Hi there! Thanks for the giveaway… What I love the most??? Ahem, that’s why I’m playing : to win it and then sharing my opinion

  62. A/B Testing – exactly what is needed!

  63. Divi got it right! No coding and new to website design, this week I set up my website with easy to under stand and latest trends. Thanx divi!

  64. Awesome update! Would be nice to integrate social login perhaps in the future. Any plans on that topic?

  65. Great job!!!

  66. Thank you! I’ve been toying with different ways to split test – this sounds easy-peasy! You rock.

  67. Divi absolutely rocks! It lets me spend much more time on the creative aspect of building a website and much less coding. The new A/B testing feature is not only a great tool to help maximize the effectiveness of a site, it’s also a great selling point for me to my clients. Thanks! =M=

  68. Great update, as usual. Thank You

  69. Looks awesome! I’ve been holding from upgrading the account for financial reasons, but I’m so totally considering it now. 🙂

  70. I can’t wait to try Divi!

  71. I’m excited for 2.7 release! I’ve been helping my clients customize Divi for a number of clients already. I hope I win an account of my own soon so I can develop even more. Kudos ET and more power!

    • Michael Oomen

  72. I have been always a big fun of Elegantthemes. I wish I could win a new account 🙂

  73. Posting to enter in raffle.

  74. Looking forward to try out this new divi !

  75. Cool stuff, split testing seems really neat.

  76. Always awesomw!

  77. I’ve started building my WordPress website as an artist. Although I feel quite comfortable with PHP, CSS, Bootstrap etc. WordPress seemed a bit complicated for me. I was trying to use another CMS allowing me to build simple theme and then use Drag&Drop feature to place the widgets and content. But it wasn’t as user-friendly as WordPress. Then I discovered Divi which turned out to be a great tool for people like me. All the features create a great built-in WYSIWYG editor that allows your vision of your website flow freely. You don’t need to consider if you can or you cannot achieve certain look with your developer’s skills. I can’t wait to try it!

    I couldn’t afford it that day but now I have opportunity to start with Divi for free. I’m so grateful for that and I hope to get one account 🙂

  78. Great Update!

  79. Awesome – looks like I’ll finally be getting into Elegant themes to be able to use Divi.

  80. This is incredible. I am definitely upgrading to a lifetime subscription. Great work!

  81. I’ve been meaning to change the theme of my blog already. I’ve been really impressed by a ton of themes here and can’t wait to try it out. Really hoping to win a free membership. *crossing fingers!*

  82. Thanks Elegant Themes! This looks like a jam-packed release and I cannot wait to try all of the new features out, especially Divi Leads and Export Library. Have entered the giveaway too and shared, shared, shared!! Trace x

  83. Another excellent promotion from Divi….keep up the good work and informative emails!

  84. This is so exciting! Can’t wait to test it out on my divi sites!

  85. hi! Thanks a lot for the message! I want to use this 😉

    How can I run this on windows?

  86. If you want to find everything in one theme, Divi is everything you need. Thanks for keeping up the good work!

  87. My favorite part of split testing is having unlimited test subjects. This allows admins like me to really play around with what generates the best leads, and it’s all so easy to see results and change things around! I also especially like the ability to export and import entire layouts so I don’t have to keep tweaking the same one when testing. Great job guys!

  88. Interesting new features. Great job, Divi! I will have to give it a try

  89. Looks amazing! All fantastic features.

  90. I love the split builder because it allows the additional flexibility in an already super flexible builder that I have wanted to create more compelling layouts for my websites. It is also an awesome tool when testing the impact of different calls to action on not only ecommerce sites but any link or post that admins want to track.

  91. I can’t wait to try the split testing and get some great stats going. I love incredible accurate feedback this will give us about out site. Thanks to everyone involved!

  92. Sweet.

    Is the ET link in the footer allowed to be changed yet?

  93. Great news, thanks for keeping up the great work.

  94. Very sophisticated…

  95. Best place to buy premium themes!! ☺️

    I’d like to confirm this and not be caught off guard later having to renew at $89 for the following years.

    Thank you in advance.

  125. I’m waiting for Divi 2

  126. Really looking forward to this! Thanks!

  127. Another brilliant work from you guys. I have used and recommended your theme to my clients. Just siged up for a lifetime membership.

  128. I Love working with the Divi platform can’t wait to test out the new stuff.

  129. Yay to the split testing and site-wide colour palettes!
    Awesome 🙂 The small things count.

  130. Can’t wait to try it!!!!

  131. Really looking forward to the simple things, like the theme color palette and the testing opportunities. Thanks for all the hard work which help simplify our lives!

  132. This is really great work. So excited to be using divi. Divi was the greatest, now, now I can’t think of a superlative more than that to describe its. Its just so Divi.

  133. Looking forward to the Lead Builder!

  134. Awesome. Can’t wait to check every each new function you’ve made. Thank you so much!

  135. I’ve been using Divi for a couple of days and I found it surprisingly easy! I manage to do exactly what I had in ming without effort! Thanks guys for an excellent tool!

  136. I am so excited about all these good news! Let the party start!

  137. This version is awesome, I love every bit of the changes which allows freedom in the design cycle. However, I would like to ask for a feature if possible. Many times the home page will have elements so different from other pages, it would be nice if the header color could also be different. Currently in customizer the header can take many colors but that’s for the whole site not just the home page.
    Thanks for an incredible Divi.

  138. Just when I think it couldn’t get better … there you go again! The DIVI Builder is the ONLY WordPress Theme anybody ever needs! Keep Up the awesome work!!!!!

  139. Just became a new member…excited to learn all about the possibilities in using the Divi and Extra themes.

  140. Nice

  141. I’m a new member and really enjoying learning Divi. Thanks for giving such powerful tools to the common folk! I’m happy with it now but I’m to enjoy your continuing development of the product.

    Keep up the great work!

  142. you guys make anyone believe that website designing is a child’s play 🙂

  143. Great!

  144. I am going to use divi to setup a new woocommerce store.

    • I can’t recommend this, the DIVI builder doesn’t really have anything to offer for woocommerce.

  145. great job!

  146. Great update!!!

  147. Anxious to take it for a drive!

  148. Great Stuff, have a project in the cards that needs Split Testing, ET coming to the rescue.

  149. Excited about new possibilities with Divi 2.7

  150. Some great stuff here

  151. The few bucks for my Elegant Theme Developer’s License are among the best investments I ever made – thanks to the versatility of Divi, and the Divi Builder. Divi is breathtakingly awesome, and it’s getting even more so with every new release. I’m loving it.

  152. This is going to make it harder for me to recommend LeadPages for my clients, when Divi offers split-testing for half the cost!

  153. These upgrades look fantastic!

  154. Looks great! Would love to see you add something like the list feature in eList. Yes, I know I can use Divi builder with the eList theme but…

  155. Divi is a life changer! I am in the process of rebranding all of my sites!

  156. How exciting!

  157. Great job on the upgrade and love the freebie you decided to offer! Hoping that I might be lucky enough to join by winning one of the free memberships!

  158. This is really interesting. Waiting for more information.

  159. Am SOOO excited for the new features! Have been re-branding my site – all the tools and tutorials have been amazingly helpful!

    • Did you set up your own website? Is it a food blog? Do you set up websites for others on WordPress? What is your fee and what does it include?

  160. Guys! You’re really amazing with this upgrade! I’m waiting for some money to buy a nembership but also I hope God will help me with a lifetime pack.

  161. Simply Amazing!

  162. Cool!!!

  163. This is amazing! All of these extra features will make it even better to build sites with Divi. This is taking things to a whole new level!

  164. Already using Divi on most of my sites. Can’t wait to upgrade to 2.7. Excited.

  165. Features seem to be really really cool

  166. What a great chance to start testing this theme. Thank you

  167. Love the Divi theme and all of it’s great features. I have a developer license and it’s totally worth it. I’ve been building sites and doing mockups with such ease. It’s great. 2.7 just builds on an amazing product!

    • What do you charge to set up a website on WordPress?

      • Do you need a service? The fee depends on the complexity and the features of the site and the country the developer is based. But you can see between the rand of 1,000-2500$ in the US and Europe for a normal custom made WP site with complexity. But in Asia and African, you can get it lower which also depends on the features/complexity of the site. However, if you are using Divi, you are in good community to do wonders with site on the web. Welcome.

  168. Can’t wait to try out the new features

  169. I think I’m still most interested in the Divi Builder, I’ve grown to like the Visual Composer by WP Bakery and if Divi Builder can compare, I think it is an awesome tool. I’m still a little upset that the first Divi release came out 3 days after my subscription expired, but here’s hoping for a free subscription so I can try out Divi and add it to the other options I have.

  170. Been using Divi since the start, but we really need more blog display options on the home page…more like extra. But when you build a home page with extra you cannot add any divi builder modules…very frustrating. i even wasted $ hiring someone to try and code it for me.

  171. Oh man I hope I win this time around. It’s great of you guys to have this contest again.

  172. How would split testing work when ranking organically? Create 2 pages obviously, but do your onpage seo the exact same and design for user intent? Seems it can throw off the ranking factors when bots come and recrawl the website?

  173. Love it! Nice Job

  174. So excited to try this out.
    Re-launching our Branding Strategy podcast with Divi theme, and the Divi Leads a/b testing for the homepage could not have come at a more perfect time.

    I think this is my favorite update so far. Cannot believe how much value are in each. Wished for the new module export feature for my clients, and now it’s real!

    Amazing work. Thank you so much.

  175. I love the new updates for the Divi theme!
    Thanks for always upograding it and making it better 🙂

  176. I am so excited that this has come out and I can use it to test my own sites, and blow my clients away with their own.

    This is certainly a feature that is missing on other themes on the market.

    Thanks guys!

  177. Elegant Themes really seems to feel the pulse of theit customers: such frequent updates show a lot of care for user’s wishes!

    Keep it up!

  178. Fabulous News!divi is my alltime favourite Template since years and the nee testing opinions helping me a lot.

  179. awesome theme, updates are getting only better

  180. This is the best Divi update by far!!

  181. I’ve been using divi for so many sites. These new updates are going to be great, especially the testing.

    I’ve created sites in multiple industries and found it covers the ground as long as you’re creative in maneuvering the elements to fit your needs. These updates will make things even easier.

  182. Divide has really become irresistible. Fantastic work! Kudos to the team atvElegantvThemes.

  183. So awesome!!!

  184. Love it. Thanks 😉

  185. Love this! I can’t wait to try it out!

  186. And yes, I did upgrade Divi. Hmmm. Anyone else having this problem? Thx!

  187. All attempts to Import divi_library_pack.json to library end in endless progress bar stuck at “time remaining 1 minute”? How to fix?

  188. Awesome stuff you guys have already made a game changing additon to cms, now you keep improving it. Me and all my clients are super stoked.

  189. Awesome! This theme has got each and every features available.

  190. You guys are mega! 🙂

  191. I’am a member since 2008 and have got a lot of great themes from Elegentthemes. But Divi is the best of all. It opens unbelievable and endless opportunities to create fantastic websites.
    Thanks for this great work!

  192. Nice 🙂

  193. It would be great to win this, always hearing fantastic things about your themes.

  194. Look great, I can really use the new features 😀

  195. I’ve used drag and drop solutions before and they we a little confusing/unreliable, but this seems like a different beast.

  196. I’ve used drag and drop solutions before and they we a little confusing/unreliable, but this seems like a different beast. I’m definitely going to have to check it out.

  197. So far this has been one of the best WP themes I saw.

  198. Ich denke es ist ein gutes neues Divi 2.7 wobei die vorherigen auch schon super waren!

  199. Thank you for continually finding ways to improve Divi!

  200. I can’t believe you built in page split testing ability. That’s incredible! In terms of lead collection, I wonder if there are plans to expand the forms abilities (ie more fields)? I wonder if it will track submissions from 3rd party form plugins?

    Can’t wait to try the new features.

  201. More than 10 years working on marketing online and Divi without doubt is the best WordPress theme BUILDER (and not template) so far!

  202. Nice Upgrade…i wish i win this time 🙂

  203. Totally loving my decision to start using Divi, you guys rock! Any chance you’re working on a form builder?

  204. Nice work ! The best

  205. Looks likesome great features I’d love to try out.

  215. I have been using Divi and Elegant Theme for nearly three years and will continue to do so. Thanks Elegant Themes.

  216. La mejor plantilla de wordpress con la que he podido trabajar. Muy buen trabajo!

  218. Awesome!

  219. Great idea! I follow Elegant Themes since two years and it is a very good work what they do!

  224. Hey!

  227. I have just updated all my sites to divi. I love it! Super excited to try out the new features

  228. Amazing theme. It keeps getting better! And Elegant Themes support really rocks! Keep up the super work!

  229. This is my 3rd years as an ET member and I can’t see why I won’t continue to be a member for years to come.
    I’ve not made a site using any other theme aside from Divi for 18 months now & I can’t see that changing either.
    Keep up the great work!

  230. So many great new features! Can’t wait to upgrade! The split testing will be fantastic and means I can get rid of additional plug ins.

  231. These features sound great! I love the idea of being able to test new ideas and track their success. I like that you have built in feature to help diagnose problems too. As a novice website owner, those problems can take forever to solve!

  232. And again you break the barrier. Evolving and making things better and better.
    Guys you rock. Thank you.

  233. D ive

    • Also more features for contact forms…if checkbooks and drop down menus

      • Srry dam auto correct lol…I meant to say examples such as checkboxes and drop down menus

  241. Divi is by far my favorite theme.

  242. Great! I would love to try DIVI as I am looking for a new theme right now!

  243. Making the best WordPress Theme better. What more can one ask for?

  244. Cool Stuff Nick!

  245. Divi looks freaking amazing.

  246. This might be the time I could try out the full version of Divi~ huehue

  247. This does look like a very nice theme. 😀 I will play with it on my WP Dev. server. Will be interesting to see what it can do. I’ll let you know how I go. 🙂

  248. I really love this theme <3

  249. You’ve don it again! ET and Dii just keeps getting better. I’ve dumped all the other themes I was using and replaced them with ET themes and plugins, especially Divi!

  250. I’ve put together a dev site with the Divi 2.4 layouts, Divi Dark layouts, the “Interior” demo, premade business layouts, premade portfolio layouts, and layouts from diviThemeExamples.

    1. Will the large menu I created to access all the pages (approximately 80 pages?) be able to be Exported/Imported in the JSON file?

    Thank you.

  251. Keep on rocking guys… and more user friendly.

  252. Totally love DIVI and cant wait to use the latest version … there can’t be a better theme with such a huge variety of possibilities ! You rock Elegant Themes 🙂

  253. Divi is my favorite WP theme. Always looking forward to the newest releases!

  254. Elegant Themes just keeps outdoing themselves over the last good thing they bring us. Keep it up, guys!

  255. I love free stuff

  256. I love the new features!

  257. Groovy! I love Divi. I run all my sites using the theme.

  258. One of the bloggers I admire is using Divi and I’ve been salivating over it for a while. It looks so smooth and has such great options.

  259. Great Job! It is a best easy-to-use theme that I have used up to now.

  260. Divi is awesome!!!

  261. This great a theme and I have plans to use theme on my next project.

    Great contest and congrats on the the latest theme release.

  262. I save a ton of time with Divi .. Awesome work ppl. thanks !!!

  263. Great campaign!

  264. Divi ROCKS!!!!

  265. Thanks for your passion for continuous improvement!

  266. Absolutely loving Divi and the great new features in 2.7!

    One thing…For some reason I started getting Divi Builder Timeout error message on one of my sites after updating. Anyone else seeing issues with WooCommerce and Divi 2.7?

    • I am getting the same error and I also use WooCommerce. Found any solution for this ?

    • I’m getting this on the staging area on Siteground. Seems to be ok on the live site.

      • I found the solution buried in their support forums. They say to add the following to your .htaccess file:

        SubstituteMaxLineLength 10M

        • Ugh. Most of it got stripped out. Here it is again without open and close carrots that are needed at the beginning and end of the first and last line:

          IfModule mod_substitute.c
          SubstituteMaxLineLength 10M
          /IfModule

      • Did you ever get this working, either of you? I’m having the same problem. (I’m also using Siteground staging.)

  267. Excited to check out the new upgrades! Sound amazing!

  268. Divi makes websites easy, even for me.

  269. This is great! Thank you.

  270. You guys keep innovating on what is already such an incredible base. Keep up the excellent work!

  271. Ok… I must be dense or something… I don’t get the testing/leads part. Either a longer video showing it more or I may have to just play with it to understand.

  272. I can’t wait to beautify my brand new blog with this new theme! ?

  273. I’m really excited to try out Divi. Everything I’ve read about it seems like it’ll make publishing my online shop so much easier 🙂

  274. You can’t think more with this features. It’s perfect and adorable.

  275. Since Divi, I have not done any website using a different theme… it’s really awesome how we can do things with Divi and I have recommended to many of my friends who create web sites (by the way, I have no affiliate link)

    There is just one thing I would like to suggest, but it’s about Bloom plugin… After a successful subscribe, it would be really nice if Bloom could redirect to the thank-you page that we define in our Autoresponder, as, let’s say, Aweber o Mailchimp (I use both)…

    As Bloom only displays a successful subscribe message using the autoresponder integration, I rather use the html code of my autoresponder in order for this feature to work.

    Would this be possible some time?

  276. I’d love to win!

  277. Best theme so far, can’t wait to try it out!

  278. Very, very nice! i love Dive Theme!

  279. I LOVE the new features!

  280. I’m looking forward to upgrading to Divi 2.7. Thanks to Elegant Themes for the GREAT support. I highly recommend your company – your support, themes and plugins are #1!

  281. Go Divi

  282. Loving the new features in 2.7! Can’t wait to try the A/B testing feature & Divi Leads. Combined with the sheer elegance of Divi it all wraps into a nice little package that can only be described as Elegantly Effective.
    Oh, and the Dynamic Help System seems pretty nifty, too.

  283. I’d like to win!

  284. good luck for everyone!

  285. I love Divi!

  286. Looks great, loving all the new additions to an already super flexible theme!

  287. New Released theme by Divi is really awesome and cool.

    I wish I could try this new awesome theme.

  288. Love this theme, can’t wait to update ☺

  289. I’ve been using Divi for a few version now and I’m loving it! I’m very stoked about the split testing and anxious to try it out!

  290. I tried the split testing feature out today on my site. I think this could be really helpful. Thanks for all your hard work on this.

  291. Divi 2.7 features look really nice.

  292. There are no words that would capture how much I NEED this upgrade. Also, I see the odds are stacked against me but I’ll try to keep a positive attitude. I’ve been told that I should have an elegant theme, that it would e easier for me to set up my new blog. Please wish me luck.

  293. I love the new updates! I am so glad I chose elegant themes!

  294. What I see I LOVE! Hope I win; too poor to afford it. 🙁

  295. I just found Divi yesterday, so this is perfect timing. I’m blown away by how easily customizable everything is and how I don’t have to be a designer to make a beautiful site that matches the vision I have in my head. Thank you so much for the opportunity to win! 🙂

  296. I’m really looking forward to this new version. The last updates were great and I’m sure I’ll find some more goodies this time too. Thanks for all the hard work. Divi is amazing.

  297. Oh thanks a lot! giveaways a very interesting way to try new resources

  298. You guys just keep getting better and better!!!

  299. Can’t wait to try it! 🙂

  300. Divi just keeps getting better and better! Wonder what could possibly be next….

  301. Divi is my go-to theme for development: creative, easy, and captivating.

  302. More goodness to try on a current project. Thank you.

  303. awesome!!

  304. With the New Divi release you just need dream, imagine & design without any code.

  305. The Split Testing is a real game changer.

  306. Awesome concept and awesome features! Divi certainly makes life easier for us bloggers! =)

  307. Divi 2.7 is an amazing Update. Keep up the great work as always.

  308. Do you even divi bro?

  309. Looking Good!

  310. Divi it’s a great theme. All features and functions are fully customizable.

  311. Congrats, mate!

  312. I love Divi! This just gives me yet another reason to love it more.

  313. Absolutely amazing! I agree with some of you guys: more header and menu options, and unbeatable.

  314. I’m really impressed, and look forward to learning how to use all the features of Divi. As a new WordPress user I really appreciate the quality of the information in your posts.

  315. Thank you for making DIVI for real. You made my day!

  316. I am truly impressed – so glad I took the plunge and joined in at the Developer level! Love Divi’s new Split Testing as well as the Portability!!

  317. WOW

  318. I so badly want the Divi Theme! It’s exactly the Theme I need to redo my websites.

  319. Love the split-testing! And what a good idea to add the site-wide colour picker!

  320. Every update is awesome, i’m going to try it right now!

  321. Amazing work everyone. Glad to be a long time member!

  322. Excited about the Divi leads and the portability features.

  323. Super cool new features!

  324. Can’t wait to explore the new features of this already awesome theme!

  325. Just started using ‘Extra’ this year and I love it! Can’t wait to try ‘Divi’.

  326. Super excited about the portability features!

  327. You guys rock!

  328. All I want now is the speed issue / inline css etc sorted and divi will be invincible!

    Please make the next update about size, speed and performance!!! Please!

  329. Awesome stuff as always!

  330. woha what a theme i am saving my pocket money to purchase Devi. I love it.

  331. I love the Divi theme and the update looks awesome.

  332. using the same philosophy that this new features .. could be added in a future modules for different languages? including a language selector in the header? thanks.

  333. Best theme ever!

  334. I want it!

  335. Thank elegantthemes

  336. Divi is the best 😀

  337. There are many great additions to the new Divi library … but there is one problem I am finding that is a dealbreaker.
    I’ve tried at length to get a workflow going with the new Divi Library.
    But the encoding of images means that importing library items creates a graveyard of images on every site you import library items to.
    Seriously, how many sites do you want the same image on? None.
    I hotlink images from one demo website. This ability has now gone to do this. I want to be able to import library items without all the images flooding into my media area.
    This is a dealbreaker I’m afraid.
    I can’t think of a way to use this without expanding the media area of every website that I have.
    Does anyone else share this concern?
    Many thanks
    Regards Mark

    • Absolutely agree with all of that…I have many divi and extra sites and now I am upset that this could ruin my whole work flow!!!

  338. Looks very versatile and professional – and a bit intimidating for me as a first time user… 😉 I think I will brave it and use Divi for my first own website for my first ever online course. Exciting!!! 🙂

    Any Divi-fan webdesigner out there who would maybe jump in and help if I get stuck??

  339. Divi, a best solution for build any type of website. Just love it 🙂

  340. The split test feature is a welcome addition. Well done guys.

  341. I’m in love with the 2.7 Divi version.

    I appreciate the new advantages it provides.

    Thanks for creating it.

  342. I have tried to upgrade with the 20% discount but it isn’t applying to my account … Can you help?

  343. Bravo!

  344. This looks great. Thanks!

  345. Sounds great, as usual!
    Thanks

  346. I love the progress.

    My biggest need right now is the ability to do custom preview formats on blog roll pages.

  347. Seems promising.

  348. That Leads Split Testing System is such a great idea.
    Library packs is great too.

    Well done folks!

  349. Divi is awesome but still the only thing that still force me to do custom plugins for websites with high traffic is bad performance.

    All the customization codes make inline css,
    there are about 10 css files and 22 javascript files and which are 1 MB which is huge for landing page !?

    and you can’t even concat and minify them using w3 total cache cause minification breaks the theme.

    Everything else is awesome but performance is still what forces my team to do custom themes where performance matters and only use divi for low budget websites.

  350. Can’t wait to try out all the new features, thanks ET!

  351. Divi is so awesome!!

  352. Very cool. Can’t wait to get my sites updated. The new library functions come just in time.

  353. Excellent! Looking forward to these.

  354. Just go ahead and continue!

  355. Wow–perfect timing for split testing as we’re undergoing a rebrand!

  356. The testing features are genius! Can’t wait to try it out

  357. Nice update!

  358. You are the man!

  359. Wow. Thank You!

  360. Wow! Just last night I was wishing I could do split testing and today you grant my wish!

  361. Well done guys – it looks great. I can’t wait to upgrade my sites.

  362. Yeeeyy! awesomeeeee

  363. Yeeeyy! awesomeeeee

  364. Cant wait to use these new exciting features.

  365. I have never had a problem with Divi until this update. I am not experienced at all and really liked the simpleness of Divi. Now though I can’t load my pages as it says that there is a compatibility issue with a third party plug-in. I deactivated each plug in I have one by one and none of them are apparently the issue unless it is more than one. I am stuck and have no idea what to do now but can’t load my pages for editing or to even make a new one ….help please?!

    • I am facing the exact same problem.. How can I fix this ?

  366. Cool stuff guys! Keep up the good work. I remember I started out with Divi two years ago, and at first it seemed as a out of the box normal theme, easily compared to the ones found on Themeforest.
    But I have to say, I am pleasant surprised by the progress the company and Divi has made over the years. On the plus side looking forward to test A/B/C/D and track my conversions with it.
    What can I say. Keep up the good work.

    • Thanks Chris! We have come a long way, but this is just the beginning 😉

  367. I want it!

  368. I can’t wait for the new import export feature, it will save 80% of everyone’s time, and I love the customizable color palette

    • Sometimes the simplest of features are the most important!

  369. Lot’s of great new features to checkout!

  370. With all of the Divi updates you do, I’m curious as to why you can’t add more autoresponders other than Aweber and Mail Chimp to integrate with the theme.

    • We focused on email integration efforts in Bloom, and right now we don’t have plans to significantly expand the integrations in Divi. Using the Bloom shortcode you can input optin forms anywhere inside the Divi Builder 🙂

  371. I’m on a slightly older version from a couple months ago and the Equalize Column Heights feature isn’t working in that version, has this been fixed in this version? (I am unable to just upgrade due to a subscription that just expired.)

    Exited to try the split testing feature, great to see that spit testing is being made to be an easier process.

  372. Ahhhh, I’m so excited for this!! There are a whole bunch of things I’ve been wanting to test, especially as I get ready to launch a Google Analytics course for bloggers (sales pages are a bear!), and this is going to help so much. Thank you!

  373. ¡Impresionante! Sabía que Divi era un gran tema para WordPress, y ahora ya roza lo extraordinario.
    A pelear con Divi 7…
    Saludos a todos.

  374. You guys, are awesome!!!

  375. I have no doubt that Elegant Themes is the best, of the best WP developers around the whole… yes, the WHOLE world.
    These DIVI update has amazing features, features that, sincerely I do not expect.
    The team that Nick have created is fantastic.

    • Elegant Themes Blog | Jonatan Yair commented on Divi 2.7 Has Arrived, Including The Divi Leads Split Testing System, Improved Portability & More!’unsubscribe’

  376. Awesome! Can’t wait to try it out! Love Divi!

  377. Beautiful, I might actually subscribe.

  378. Thanks so much, ET!! Divi has allowed me to branch out as designer into developer and now marketer! You’re products make me a well-rounded creative and invaluable to my clients! Cheers!

  379. Amazing job guys! And thanks for the free layout too!! 🙂

  380. Oh wow! I LOVE the idea of split-testing. well done! This is something I will use again and again.

  381. Divi it’s my best template!

  382. Thanks, I was looking forward, greetings

  383. Thanks, Divi number one

  384. Divi is GREAT!!

  385. This update looks freaking awesome! Split testing was one of the few things I saw missing. I can’t complain about that any longer. The only other thing I thought that Divi may have been missing the mark on was the power and flexibility of the import/export system. Then lo and behold you revamp it as well. We all know that Divi gives you the flexibility to create nearly unlimited designs and layouts. Now we can easily share them as well.

    Divi is looking less and less like a “theme” and more and more like an easy to use framework all of the time. It’s pretty amazing.

    I suppose the only criticism I can really levy against Divi now is that it is so shortcode heavy that it is pretty difficult to migrate away from Divi to another theme if you wanted to. Granted, I don’t think I’d ever want to, but I am always worried that a client is going to come to me demanding that I use a specific theme for their site that was already built using Divi.

    Aside from that Divi continues to be a winner!

    • Even though we use shortcodes, you can always leave Divi if you install the Divi Builder plugin. This will ensure that your shortcodes will keep working no matter what theme you use.

  386. I would LOVE to use that. That’s great news!

  387. The new Divi Leads feature is awesome!

  388. This is awesome!! Divi Leads makes me very happy.

  389. While I really like the theme there is a couple of really obvious features not included.
    One is a simple way to edit the footer info that several people have already mentioned.
    The other is the limited options in setting columns in the Divi builder. You are stuck to 4 columns max & you have to code to customise – very frustrating as there are good free plugins that offer more options for columns, ie. Page Builder by Site Origin.

    Looking forward to seeing these features finally fixed…

    • One of our goals with Divi is to make it easy to use, but also difficult to break. With the addition of more than 4 columns, you run into the issue of certain modules not fitting inside such a small space. We want to avoid letting users create layouts that are essentially broken. We may end up introducing more columns in the future, but right now we are hesitant.

  390. Hello again team,

    Just uploaded new layouts to our site, but don’t understand how the final page should like. Now is is some kind of a mess from images, shapes and text. Some parts of a layout looks good, some is missing information.

    Do you have a live demo?

    Thanks!

    Igor

  391. Great! Amazing, I’ll upgrade right away.

  392. Starting a new church website. Would be excellent to has this fabulous tool at my fingertips

  393. This is absolutely the best! Awesome update!

  394. Wow, A/B tracking built-in? Sweet. I can stop using Unbounce!

  395. How is it you folks figure out all the things I have been hoping for. Particularly happy with the color picker improvements and the page-based CSS.

  396. Perfect! I love DIVI! A/b test is a great change.

  397. this is amazing

  398. Great tool!!! Welcom A/B test!!!

  399. Hello,

    great news. Although it would be great to have an ETA on a very important enhancements like:

    1) make inline css as external file (e.g. dynamic.css – and don’t tell me like your support did that it can’t be done, it can, easily)

    2) possibility to not USE Woocommerce CSS when Woocommerce is inactive (modularity)

    3) better grid options

    4) load icon CSS’s only if I use icons anywhere (and only that pack until other is activared) #modularity #performance

    Best,

    Ladislav

  400. Just upgraded to Lifetime Membership!!! Thanks Nick!!

  401. The new split test function seem very interesting!

  402. Divi is already the ultimate WordPress theme and builder, and it’s only getting better. Looking forward to continuing to create with Divi, and the unlimited possibilities it affords me. Thanks Elegant Themes for all your do.

  403. Great work Elegant-team!
    I already moved a complete Divi website with the new export options (saved me tons of work!!!). +1

    Also tried the split testing options and love how it works. +1

    It seems that there is only one problem with it: after I saved the page, I can’t ad an other split testing section without removing the first testing item.
    Am I missing something here because it looks like right clicking a section or module should do the trick (but it doesn’t show up like it does in the example images). I hope you guys could help me out.

    • Only once test can be run any any given time, so you will need to test one item at a time unless both items are contained in a single section.

  404. Nice Updates!!

    But I have ONE Issue:

    If I wan’t to import the layouts it says “1% Import estimated time remaining: 1min”

    and then after 10 seconds it switches to

    “This file should not be imported in this context.”

    Anyone has the same issue? (I have updated Divi etc..)

    • Hi,
      I have exactly the same issue. Gets to 1% … remaining 1 min
      Tested on numerous installations.
      The library pack is not importable.
      Been careful to download … extract the zip file … import the file: divi_library_pack.json
      Not possible I guess.
      Can anyone confirm that they have successfully imported it – I’d be grateful to know.
      Thanks
      Regards Mark

      • Ok,
        It seems that the Divi Library import doesn’t give you an option of whether you want to import all the images into your media area. It just does it.
        That doesn’t sit well with the plugin “Compress JPEG & PNG images”. You have to deactivate it first before.
        The import then worked.
        Regards Mark

        • Uhm. I don’t have this Plugin and can’t find it under plugins!? Not sure how to fix this? Help?

          • Hi Paul, I observed same scenario but when I stopped the import, and re-imported, I noticed the pre-made layout are already in the library including the images. Seems a fix is needed to make the import indicate when 100% complete in a lucid way.

            • I even made a new installation now. Still same BUG. Nick Roach – can you help me?

              Ps.: @bb – i don’t have them in the library

  405. nice theme : )

    awesome design

  406. Hello, Great work Nick! All Elegant Theme work hard to launch this new version.

    Question: I’m a user and I’ve not renew my annual access last january. I would like to renew now, can I access to your 20% off offer?

    Many Thanks

    • Hi Ben,

      I am afraid that the discount is only available for new members. This is simply a limitation of our membership system, but if you send us an email we might be able to work something out. You can also just sign up for a new account if you don’t mind changing your username.

      • Many thanks Nick, I paid for a new year, it’s not expensive for this beautifful integrated solution 😉
        Long life to your team and your baby, Divi 😉
        Best regards

  407. Great work from Elegant Themes again!

  408. Wonderful ! Great work

  409. Hi: In the flourishing Latin American market of internet bussiness, we were waiting for tools as Divi by Elegantthemes,com to keep growing. Congratulations!

    ——

    Hola: En el floreciente mercado latinoamericano de los negocios por internet, estábamos esperando herramientas como DIVI de Elegantthemes.com para seguir creciendo. ¡Felicitaciones!

  410. Hi! I love the new A/B testing component in Divi! I can’t wait to use it when optimizing my sites.

  411. Nice update to an already good theme, do need more options with the Header area in my opinion.

    • Hi Kent,

      What kind of header options are you looking for?

      • Please please give “mobile” options for the header – size of logo. I have a large central logo on desktop, then when someone looks on a mobile it is super small and I cannot change it – any CSS I try does not work correctly.

        Thanks!

        • Do you have any CSS code for the logo size – just on mobile at the moment? I have seen many people on the forums trying different things. Many thanks.

  412. This is really tempting, maybe I should become a member after all!

  413. Awsome guys! Blew my mind! Congrats! =*

  414. One of the most obvious and basic features missing for me is a slider module that allows you to simply upload a picture in to, like an everyday, normal slideshow, BUT make the whole image a clickable link. I’m always having to look for work arounds and hacks to adjust the existing slider module, when this should really be available already.

    Other than that, I think the theme is great.

    Another BIG thing on the wishlist is the ability to use the DIVI page builder tools on Woocommerce product pages, so that I can build perfect layouts and position elements on the page like prices, ratings, info etc with modules.

    Thanks again!

  415. Awsome guys! Blew my mind! Congrats! =*

  416. Can i ask if with the import/export option i can export my local site and have a perfect copy published on line?

  417. WoW Great work!

  418. Love the new features of 2.7, can’t wait to try them out in earnest.

  419. Awesome release.

    Definitely need more design options for the navigation especially the vertical nav. tired of doing css hacks

    • Hi Ryan,

      What sort of changes do you typically make with CSS to the vertical nav?

  420. Your wish is my command ;-).
    You’re doing a great job! Thanks a lot!

  421. Often choosing the wrong ques in supermarkets, backing wrong horses etc. it’s great to know that I got it right this time! DIVI is exactly what I needed to focus the marketing aspects of web-design and now Divi Leads makes that even better. Thank you.

    A suggestion: Could we get enable/pause functionality on sections? Then a section can be ‘switched on and off’ as needed.

    • Hi Bill, thank you for the kind words. As for your question, if I’m understanding you correctly I believe that is already possible. If you right-click a section you can choose to “disable” it on certain devices or across the board. This doesn’t delete it, so if you want to in the future you can simply “enable” it to bring it back. Is that what you mean by “enable/pause”?

  422. LOVE IT

  423. So glad you guys keep making Divi even easier and more powerful. I guess I need to do more learning on all the features it offers.

  424. Great news! Excellent work, guys 😉

  425. A.M.A.Z.I.N.G

  426. Awesome! I love it!

  427. A great update for a great theme! Well done 😀

  428. You guys are the best! Super excited about all the new features.

  429. Awesome work guys!

  430. Fantastic. Divi is the diva of Wordpres themes. Split testing looks amazing.

  431. Will split testing work with caching plugin?

    • Yes it will. When caching plugins are enabled, split testing subjects are loaded via ajax.

  432. Cant wait to try this update! It certainly looks promising.

  433. I’m just wondering what these features mean for child theme creators. Do they now shift their focus to creating layout packs or settings packs? Is ET trying to build a proprietary CMS on top of WordPress?

    I’m a big fan of DIVI, but some things should be left for plugins and child themes to handle.

  434. I second Laurent, having a hex code field would be great!
    I look forward to using the new Divi in upcoming projects.
    Keep up the good work!

  435. Incredible! I LOOOOVE Divi. Thank you for your hard work.

  436. Top Job! All installed and working. Loving the split testing option.

  437. Really excited to see how this is going to change my business 🙂 thank you

  438. WOW

  439. One word: Awesome!

    For the color palette, could it be possible to add a field for hex code or rgb?
    That way if we already have a predefined palette we could easily add it.

    Thanks for the great work!

    • There is already a field for you to copy and paste rgba/hex values. It appears right above the colorpicker.

  440. Great!

  441. Amazing work guys! I really expected this version.

    I support the HEADER part.

    Thank you!

  442. AWEsome! you guys are creating a whole new website building system within WP… soon to leave WP behind and be on your own? haha.. wow wow wow.. and now it comes in a weekend where I won’t have a second to test it! Just loving it from the preview! wow wow wow!

    • Thanks Van! We love WordPress and don’t have any plans to break outside of it just yet 🙂

  443. Good Job, the Divi Leads functionality sounds awesome.

  444. Looks like a great update, can’t wait to try it! 🙂

  445. Very nice! 🙂

  446. Fantastic upgrade, I wast just looking for the possibility to do split tests! The only thing keeping me from using Divi or the page builder on all my sites now is that I can’t use traditional fixed-width sidebars with it. Would it be possible to have an option in a future release to use the page builder only for the content part of the page instead of the full page? Here are three reasons why I would love this option – well in line with the marketing idea of this release:

    1) I could have two _small_ sidebars on wide screens – this keeps the page still content focused, but allows twice the number of links -> more clicks -> more time spent on page -> better search engine rankings.

    2) for the standard sidebars there exist plugins which allow to keep widgets like the email subscription to be sticky -> better conversion.

    3) fixed width sidebars allow pixel perfect images -> best compromise between quality and size.

  447. A/B testing and color option are just perfect! This way clients can always add things in pages and don’t loose their brand color palette 😉
    Bravo!!!

  448. Can’t wait to try this new feature in one of our new projects.

  449. This is an amazing update so far to Divi! Great work guys!!

  450. Speechless… 🙂

  451. Absolutely cool updates. Divi has tranformed into a full fledged wordpress theme design universe. A lot to explore.

  452. Awesome stuff

  453. Good work! 😉

  454. Wow guys, you were right: This is BIG news! Can’t wait to try out the new feature. Is is horrible that, after all your hard work, that the customised colour picker is my favourite addition? It will make my life so much easier than having to keep copy/pasting # codes every time 🙂

  455. Thanks for updated! Divi keeps getting better and better with each new release.

  456. DIVI is the future of wordrpress themes!

  457. Thanks Nick & team for latest upgrade to Divi — ET’s premium “Swiss Army knife” for WP marketing sites.

  458. Excellent! Confidently upgraded to Lifetime Access. Just keeps getting better!

  459. Thank you for improving Divi. I have recommended Elegant Themes and Divi to many people.

    • Thanks for the recommendations John!

  460. Ya baby…

  461. Divi has always brought something cool and exciting features as compared to other premium wp themes. Would like to try split test feature of this release.

  462. Bravo!

  463. All looks great, but experience tells me to wait until at least the 3rd version update before updating client sites. Giving time to sort out plugin incompatibility and other coding problems.

  464. Awesome!

  465. Looks awsome. Just when I’m about to start a new project – perfect. Thank you.

  466. Can’t wait to try this out, the Split testing is perfect for a site I was workign on this week!

  467. I’m so excited to have this A/B …c…d…e… testing for some landing pages we are building. Great work.

  468. Thank you so much!

  469. Thanks for the great updates.
    one thing to say that ,after importing the new design pack ,now I cant review the imported designs.

    How would be possible to review and see them with out creating any new page or post from them?

  470. This looks amazing, can’t wait to try it out!

  471. Excellent updates for this wonderful theme. Thank you. Doing a great job.

  472. Thanks for working so hard to keep improving Divi for us.

    • I agree. Thank you for improving Divi. I have recommended Elegant Themes and Divi to many people.

  473. Awesome once again!
    I hope the caching issue with categories within the portfolio module has also been resolved.
    Keep up the great work 🙂

  474. you guys are doing a great job with Divi when it comes to static pages.

    Though, I think Divi should be more woocommerce oriented so that I can use it for the e-shop part of my site.

    Indeed, you can display product categories with Divi but there are no sorting options or breadcrumbs. And as far as I digged, Divi doesn’t have a single grab on product pages..uuuh?

    Thanks.

  475. This looks amazing! Can’t wait to try it all out!

  476. I was using optimizely for ab testing. Thank YOU for putting this in and eliminating that expense!

  477. This a a really terrific set of upgrade features! Can’t wait to use them to make my site even better than it already is in Divi.

  478. Love the inbuilt A/B testing, looks amazingly simple and very useful.

  479. We are in the process of migrating our web site from HTML to the DIVI theme. It looks like Divi 2.7 will help us finish the job, as we essentially try to clone the original site in Divi.

  480. You guys and gals continue to blow my mind with your foresight and the thought that goes into these new features. It’s very clear that you are building Divi with designers in mind.

    Thank you.

  481. Here’s a great idea, I think:

    Have an ET dashboard module that will show us the results of all our A/B testing (we can scroll through the different page/post results) without having to go into each page/post.

    So awesome!

    • Thanks for the suggestion Justin!

  482. Woah guys. With each update you keep out doing yourself. Spilt testing? Are you kidding me! The best addition yet.

  483. You guys are awesome! I can’t wait to try some of the new features that just rolled out. I’ve only started using Divi about 2 or 3 months ago but I’ve been able to build 3 websites already. That would have taken me 2 months!

  484. Cant wait to A/B teste everything

  485. LOVE IT!! Great Job guys

  486. Since DIVI I need no other WordPress Theme more …
    DIVI keeps getting better …

  487. LOVE IT!!

  488. I am excited about the troubleshooting feature. Great updates!

  489. Nick, two issues which drive me nutty.

    1) Text or HTML field: why soooo small? Such a tiny little window to input data?

    I usually have to write it all out in TextEdit, then copy/paste into the actual Text module. Then add more coding, cos hey, I don’t wanna hand code every post!!

    I sometimes input a graphic w/the text, so things get really difficult with that tiny field. Just like this comment box. Tiny!

    2) Images. I love LONG tall images. Pinterest loves it. Ppl love infographics. BUT no, Divi insists my images be wider vs tall. So Divi crops or distorts my carefully crafted image.

    I also cannot use Featured Image. When ppl search a category or keyword, they only get Post Titles and a few lines. NO images. We know ppl love images.

    IF I use Featured Images, I get tiny, cropped and/or distorted images.

    When I use the same image directly IN the post, so we see exactly what I created, now I have that tiny bad image followed by the larger image.

    3) IF that doesn’t make sense, I can send screen shots. I’ve asked tech support, I’ve asked the FB Divi group, and everyone laughs at me!

    Like I’m doing something wrong. Or silly to want tall vs wide images.

    There’s also BlogStomper and other programs which compile lots of pix into one collage. TALL collages.

    I’m not crazy. Just a famous internationally published punk photographer. I just wanna showcase those and other photos.

    I’ve been a long time ET fan and customer. But these image issues keep being ignored.

    Any thoughtful feedback is appreciated. I say that, cos saying I’m crazy or these issues are not important really doesn’t help the situation. Which is why I’ve been silent for awhile. Thank you.

    • OMG!!!

      You do realize that the editor EXPANDS as you type correct?

  490. Wow… I just can’t even with Divi. Great job!

  491. Awesome features!

    First theme I know that integrates split test function…

    Great Job…

  492. This is indeed beautiful, but how do I update my theme as it stated that there is no automatic updating.

    • Same question here!

      • Never mind, I figured it out: there was an error in my credentials. Works like charm now!
        Great job guys!

  493. wow its awesome update from Divi, thank elegantthemes

  494. Great job…

  495. would love to get a membership !

  496. Amazing, I had started to play with the A/B/C testing…
    but how to import the Free Library Packs (to big in my wp), where I can download it with Filezilla ?

  497. Watched your products and blog last week, and just been wondered by your quality and design. Today, it’s just impossible to not to buy =) So, now I’m in the club! Can’t wait 😀

  498. Awesome features!

    But as I can see, only one active splitt test per page is allowed? Would be nice if I can start more than one…

  499. Wow!

  500. ET, you folks ROCK! The new Divi enhancements are truly amazing.

  501. Divi Leads is a game changer. To have that baked right in makes Divi – in my opinion – the best site builder by far. Amazing job as usual!

  502. So exciting. I can’t keep up with you guys!

  503. Happy to see all that new stuff!!!

  504. Wow! First time I have been speechless.

  505. Man, this A/B testing is going to be a game changer. Thanks Nick and the Divi crew, what legends.

  506. I’m a newbie here but looking forward to seeing what Divi can do.

  507. Very Cool!

    Hope to see A front end Live preview for the next version.

    thank you.

    • You’re in luck 😉

    • Same for me

  508. I look forward to trying the Split Testing feature!

  509. Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better.
    Cheers guys for the great work!

  510. Keeps getting better & better! Love it!

    • Can’t wait to try the new functions in Divi 2.7

  511. Awesome, looking forward to test the new features out.

  512. You guys are amazing!
    You make me look like a webbdesign wizard 😀

    Thank you!!

  513. You guys are amazing!
    You make me look like a webbdesign wizard 😀

    Thank you!!

  514. The page specific CSS feature is huge for me!!

  515. HI Nick. Loving the new features. But there is another side of the world not fully enjoying Divi and that’s a real shame.
    I have being asking for 2 years that you fix the mobile stacking issue for RTL sites. Ignoring this absolute crucial fix for us in the middle east is unfortunate and while there are messy work arounds that I as a developer can employ my clients will never be happy with Divi until its is solved.

  516. Well done! Nice work. I would Love to Try it.

  517. wowwww. A lot of great stuff. Very curious about!

  518. Hi Divi. I live the design of divi , the its not that good. i thin you should do some like “primerumcodingMCP” there is a lot of things to do. plz do something like this.

  519. Very excited! The A/B Testing really adds a new layer of sophistication that I didn’t dream was possible at this price point.

  520. Wonderful upgrades. Looking forward to enjoying the new features!

  521. Brilliant work – Divi just gets better and better … amazing!

  522. I have been using Divi for a non-profit group, for about a year. I really love the template and each time you improve it, I’m very impressed. Now I am considering getting the theme for my own business website.

  523. Awesome. My “go to” keeps getting better each time.

  524. So…with Divi Leads, does that mean Bloom will be going away? Do the two work in tandem?

    • Hey Benjy, don’t worry Bloom isn’t going anywhere. It’s a great email opt-in plugin with it’s own statistics tracking separate from Divi Leads–which is necessary as its forms can appear outside the builder as pop-ups or fly-ins.

      Right now you can sort of use the two tools in tandem by using a Bloom shortcode to embed a form in a code or text module and then setting that module as your split test goal. However, that will not track conversions, just generic clicks on that module.

      Instead, what I would recommend is using the Divi Builder’s optin module and set that as your goal. This will allow you to use Divi Leads to guage your real goal conversions on landing pages while Bloom can be used in other areas and in other ways across your site.

      • “while Bloom can be used in other areas and in other ways across your site.” Gonna write about that in like layman’s terms?

        All this emphasis on split testing and lead capturing (which of course is great!) while keeping the text box input field itsy bitsy small and cropping and/or distorting tall images shoved aside.

        Cos for some, our images are what bring in the ppl. Ya know that, ET blog discusses how vital are images.

        Can ya pls talk to like regular folks? Artists? Photographers? Hobbyists? Ya know, the majority of ppl out there in WP land. Just a simple request. Thanks. 🙂

      • Nathan, is it possible to use opt-in module as a pop-up? I tried to find the way, but failed

  525. I have installed and it is completly amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Good work.

    I am very happy

  526. Awesome cool features of Divi 2.7 new release! Especially with Divi Leads feature.

  527. With Exporting/Importing and sharing of Library elements does that open the door for malware, undesired changes or other “bonus” content?

  528. Well done. Thak You.

  529. Great work guys good to see the divi theme moving along would love to see some code tidying in future releases especially the css it is getting pretty huge.

  530. Wow! Raising the bar, yet again!

  531. Awesome job!

  532. Amazing !!!

  533. I feel lucky to have discovered Divi!

  534. Oh my… this is crazy amazing. My schedule is blown up now that I get to go mess with my A/B tests! Thanks ET! Wicked awesome.

    • ePanel got a new look in 2.6, but none of the options changed. We still need to update the images in our docs, sorry about that.

  535. Thank you Nick & ET Team! Awesome update.

    Maybe you can work on a module to manipulate the feck out of the header <3

  536. Amazing updates.

    Keep up the good work!

  537. I’m seeing lots of 3rd party plugin issues failing to load the Builder on my staging site, I gave up trying to track it down as I don’t have time right now, but even your own Elegant Themes Updater plugin is causing issues for the builder in my installation with all other plugins turned off.

  538. Love the updates! can’t wait to see what’s coming up next…

  539. Elegant themes never cease to amaze me! The Split Testing feature looks really awesome!

  540. In a hurry to try 2.7 and the free template, I have an issue with the file “divi_library_pack.json” (once unzipped).
    The end of the Json file is corrupted on the one I’ve unzipped.
    Have you checked the one available through the link of this post ?

    Thanks a lot.

    • It seems to work for me. What do you mean exactly when you say the file is corrupted. Did you open the file and see something in particular?

      • Hi again

        Thanks to Pat’s message, I’ve understood where to import the Json file into the Divi Library. My fault, I apologize.

        Concerning the Json file integrity, it appears the issue to be real. The last image to be uploaded scripted like this in the file : “http:\/\/localhost:8888\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/017.jpg”:
        {“encoded”:”\/9j….. is not correctly ended with ‘}’
        Result is that image “017.jpg” is not uploaded into the Media Library.

        Last remark, I don’t understand why localhost is involved, but I don’t mind anymore as long as the import process will work that way 🙂

        Waiting for more free template.
        Thanks a lot.

        • I’m getting this error when trying to import the new layouts: “this file should not be imported in this context”

          What am I doing wrong?

            • Nick

              I am getting this error :

              ” I am getting this error :

              ” This file cannot be imported. It may be caused by file_uploads being disabled in your php.ini. It may also be caused by post_max_size or/and upload_max_filesize being smaller than file selected. Please increase it or transfer more substantial data at the time.

              Got it, thanks! “

              • I am having the same problem and already created a support ticket. Are we the only one having this erro?

                ” This file cannot be imported. It may be caused by file_uploads being disabled in your php.ini. It may also be caused by post_max_size or/and upload_max_filesize being smaller than file selected. Please increase it or transfer more substantial data at the time.

        • Elegant Themes Blog | Patrick replied to Nick Roach on Divi 2.7 Has Arrived, Including The Divi Leads Split Testing System, Improved Portability & More!unsubscribe

      • Hey Nick

        Thank you for your test involvement.

        What I have seen :

        Downloaded the file twice, unzipped twice : same results.

        1) opening the file with TextMate is freezing the editor
        2) opening the file with TextWarngler is not freezing the editor (1 line and 6825493 columns !!! = 6.8 Mbytes)
        3) the Json file is not terminated with the expected ‘}}} ‘ characters. If the unzipping is correct, there are missing parts of the file and the Json format is corrupted.
        4) looking into the file, I’m also surprised to be requested to upload files that are referenced on ‘localhost:8888’ which is somehow your computer (unreachable from my home 🙂 !!
        5) despite all this I tried to upload from the new divi builder, it starts uploading but finished with a message “this file should not be imported in this context” (my context was a brand new empty page !!).

        Hope it helps.

        Anyway, I love your Divi !! Just fix it.

        By the way, have a look at topic : viewtopic.php?f=22&t=492580 😉

        Cheers

        • Same here when trying to import the .json file: “This file should not be imported in this context.”

          • Import the layouts from within the Divi Library

  541. Congratulations!!! Been waiting for this for soooooo loooooonnnngggg!!

  542. first theme I know that integrates split test function… I wish you all the best, looks a very good shoot.

  543. Hi, abou split test
    Can I test two difference sections in the same page? like header and text format, for example.. a multivariable test?

    The result is separated for each sections or the combinations of all variations?

    • You can run multivariable tests within a single test subject, but you can only have 1 test subject per test. The item being tested can be altered in any way, so it’s up to you to decide which variables you want to change.

  544. Great to see all these enhancements. I like the side wide custom colour pallet. That saves keeping notes in a separate file!

    When will translation files be updated? I reported several issues with the Dutch translations months ago (ticket 491444). A fix is not mentioned in the release notes. Also, 3 months ago someone in your support team mentioned you are working on a translation service that customers can use to help translating. When will that be launched?

    Thank you!
    JP

  545. Split testing seems interesting…wondering if this takes a lot more resources when enabled? Portability is a key feature for the future of all EG Themes with the Divi Builder Plugin.

    • It will take slightly more resources because it adds an addition ajax request, but it should be fairly minimal. We also have some controls that allow you to reduce how often stats are cached.

  546. Looks so awesome!!

  547. Consistent updates like this are so very appreciated. Continue making all my wildest dreams come true.

  548. This is a great upgrade. I hope that future updates include a front end editor to keep it simple to edit for clients.

  549. Good stuff! Another great update from Divi. The new split testing feature looks fantastic.

    Well done guys!

  550. I’m looking forward to trying the A/B split feature. I also very much appreciate the ability to customize each page without CSS’ing myself to death in the child theme. 🙂

  551. Hi team,

    Do you have a live demo of new layouts?

    It will be now a bad idea to know and to see what download and upload.

    Regards,
    Igor

    • I am afraid not, but you can import them easily with the new portability system to test them out 😉

      • Hi Nick, left a comment earlier. I can’t import the library pack as a few others have noted. Not sure why – I’ve done it on other occasions with previous releases. Any ideas?

        PS – Thanks and keep up the great work – not just a solid product but I really enjoy the community built around the ET products.

  552. Son unos Genios!

  553. “You can also enable a site-wide color palette in the Divi Theme Options!” Wonderful addition!

    • A simple feature, but I know this is going to make a big difference!

      • How cool would it be that when you change a color from the default palette, that color will also be updated everywhere it has been used on the website?

        That way you can quickly swap out a color without you having to go through every module on the website.

        • Brilliant idea!

      • The color palette is AMAZING when it shows up, but it doesn’t always show up when I’m using the color picker. Any idea why? For example, when choosing the colors of social media icons, my palette doesn’t appear.

      • I can not see this yet in the Extra Theme. It still says “Global Accent Color”. Will this be added?

  554. Spot on. Never resting on your laurels.

  555. I think the split testing is a fantastic addition to the Divi builder and am looking forward to working with it.

  556. Coming from Joomla! I am violently happy to discover the agility of Divi

    • violently happy!?!?!?!?!

  557. This new update looks like Divi is developing in the right direction to my new needs. Congratulations.

  558. Thanks guys! Divi plays a huge role in the business I do!

  559. Fantastic update! I am glad that I chose Divi.

  560. Gracias, gracias, gracias. Thanks a lot for your work. Thats awesome.

  561. Looking forward to trying out these new features

  562. Will def. Use the custom color palette! Nice update!
    I also second the suggestion to remove the “created with” in an easier way than today. Should be enough with a checkbox.
    But still – nice update.

  563. Amazing! I will try it this week.

  564. As always… Great work!
    Thank you guys!

  565. I just wanted to enter the contest!

  566. Since I know Divi, it changes a lots, better and better, thanks guys!

  567. Nick, you and your team never cease to amaze. Must renew membership now!!!!!, i must rebuild my site.

  568. Great job!

  569. Good job guys! It’s awesome.

  570. Always exciting when you guys dream up something new!

  571. I was alREADY impressed, but this was….wow.

    Very excited to try out the new features!!

  572. Vai ter melhorias na performance?

  573. Divi has really turned out to be the most loved theme so far and continually improving.

    Good Work guys.

  574. Does it have custom posttype support or a module to display eg: blogmodule?

  575. It just gets better each and every time!
    Love DIVI!
    Thanks ET…

  576. For that I have great respect for Divi – this is what you in a TIMELY MANNER, you are in format “must have”, and develop and relevant. Thank you!

  577. Good job! Cant wait to try the new divi features.

  578. Game-changing, revolutionary and simply mind-blowing update!
    Hats off to you guys, yet again! 🙂

  579. Really Awesome Update!

    If only we could use the DIVI builder on header and footer of our pages as well. Instead of the DIVI footer I often just create a global section that I manually paste into each page and of course is also add at the bottom of all templates for that site. I realize headers are a much more complex area, but please consider giving more options in both.

    Love & Light
    Stefanie

  580. Im so excited to try all these new features!

    Great Job ET.

  581. I’m very appreciative of the new free library packs but are there full-page examples of each of the About pages without having to look at empty preview pages? Maybe I’m not looking in the right places, but the small images in the post don’t give the full picture.

    • +1

    • Sorry about that Sharon. They are free though, so you can simply download them and import them to get the full picture 🙂

  582. I’m looking forward to using a site-wide color pallette.

  583. The marketer in me CANNOT WAIT to start split-testing!

  584. I’m excited about the colour picker settings and exporting Divi Builder layouts

    • Nope, just checked… the bug is still there 🙁

  585. excellent job done as always

  586. Divi just sounds better and better!

  587. Once again you have done an amazing job! Looking forward to using the new features

  588. you’re awesome.

  589. great job, thanks for et-team time for build divi theme (y)

  590. Great!!
    Powerful plugins and divi builder are successor of Elegant Themes. I waiting for DIvi 2.7 since last week.
    Posts from Elegant are very support to me.
    My sites are clear , beauty and functional with elegant themes.

    Thanks

  591. I cannot wait to try out the split testing feature. Thank you Divi team!

    • Happy testing 🙂

  592. What’s already amazing becoming even better! Thank you!

  593. Fantastico!

  594. Good stuff and look forward to learning all of this!

    As for feedback, I agree with the previous comment, and would love to see more header options, like placing a logo above the menu and specifying a logo size on mobile instead of the crazy-small one available now.

    Thanks!

  595. Responsive images in builder modules? Awwww….

  596. This is super awesome. Divi have go so far! Happy my site to grow with DIvi.

  597. The new features look amazing. Can’t wait to test them out. Great work!

  598. It just gets better each and every time!

    Love DIVI!

  599. IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE DIVI LIBRARY PACK?
    The downloaded & imported file has almost no content … please update! Thank you!!!

    • Hey – I can’t upload the library pack either. I’ve done it many time before (with other packs but this isn’t working. Stalls at 1% then says “This file should not be imported in this context.”

      Would like to resolve this if anyone has any ideas?

      BTW – I’ve tried lot’s of themes from lot’s of place. ET simply rocks and is building a really solid community around a great product.

  600. Sweetness!! I was just working on a project where I wanted per-page CSS, and a few of the other little gems in here.

    But I think the big news here, and I can’t wait to play with it, is the split-testing stuff. Very cool!

  601. Simply BRILLIANT !

  602. I have a few sites I am building now I will upgrade on. Very interested in the A/B Split Test

  603. Another awesome feature upgrade to my favorite go-to theme platform. Nice work team!

  604. I had the subscription, looks like its time to renew it.

  605. I want this!

  606. A/B split testing – awesome!

  607. Great!
    Keep up the good work.

    I’m very happy about the portability and new theme options.

    I love that you guys really work on that which the user community is missing in your products.

    For me, subscribing to ET has been the best asset investment so far.

  608. Increible actualización… Gracias!

  609. Looks awesome! Upgrading now. Thanks for always hearing us out!

  610. I now built pretty much everything using Divi. Love what you guys are doing with this awesome theme.

    The only addition I’d like to see is the ability to hide the menu system so I can create stand alone landing pages.

    Looking forward to playing with the new features!!!!

    • Hi Darren, good news! When you create a new page you can select the “blank page” template in the Page Attributes meta box. This will remove the header and footer so that you can create standalone landing pages.

  611. Fantastic! Thanks for all of your hard work! I’d love to know how to make the mouse controlled parallax and animation you have at the top here! I love it! Been looking for a feature like and couldn’t find it in Divi so far! Looking great! 😉

  612. Great job guys! in recent months you have created a product that is simply …. Woooow!

    I’ve never been a lover of the “Builder”, but Divi is simply spectacular!

  613. Still would like to see some better compatibility with Jetpack’s Shortcode Embeds. It still clashes with Divi’s YouTube embedding for video post thumbnails. I need that enabled so I can use some of the other shortcode features for things like BandCamp since I create music and videos. I, and others, have complained about Jetpack compatibility for almost 2 years and it always seems to fall on deaf ears.

  614. looks awesome. Cant wait to use all the new features…expecting to see a big jump in the number of layouts available to download in the community… another job very well done by the ET team 🙂

  615. Looking good! Thank you!

  616. Great news!!1
    Thanks

  617. Looking at the feedback I see there is talk of major bugs with Extra. I am just about to build a site with Extra… so my question is: Have the bugs been fixed with this new version or am I better off using Divi ( I will be building a site which s better suited to a magazine style.. but certainly don’t want the frustration of finding lots of bugs!)

    Please can one of the Elegant Themes team advise which direction/ theme I should choose if I am to have the easiest construction experience?

    Many thanks..

    • Divi, Extra and the Divi Builder plugin have been updated, and each includes dozens of bug fixes. We are always working hard to make sure our products are running smoothly. It takes time to iron out all the bugs, but you can feel confident in choosing either Divi or Extra for your project.

      • Hi Nick,

        May I ask, is there an issue with Divi and WordPress visual editor? I understand that when switching from one theme to another, the content format also changes – I can live with that and reformating my content was always a none issue. However, with Divi, it is impossible to format my content back to its original form. After installing Divi, I’ve spent countless hours reformatting my content with no success.
        I’ve tried all types or workaround and still not getting the original look of my content.
        Issues are specific to line spacing, paragraph spacing, bullet points, positioning images and last but not least, Divi does not capture thumbnails automatically neither are vertical lines separating blog post. Tried the “divider” that did not work.

        • Hi Rosanna, sorry you’re having those issues. Please create a ticket in our support forum so that someone on our support staff can follow up with you. http://elegantthemes.com/forum

      • Thank you Nick for the encouraging response…

        • Paul, I’ve been working on a site with Extra and have not had issues. I’ve been enjoying the theme.

  618. This is freakin brilliant!!! Keep up the great work!

  619. Great job I expected for a long time, fabulous!!!!

  620. This is amazing, thank you all for your hard work! Can’t wait to play around with the new features.

  621. Amazing! I can’t wait for the option to make a default page layout with divi builder, and just use the content editor for new posts, easier for the clients to add new posts.

    • Now THAT would be a brilliant update!!

  622. Great job guys!! You consistently reinforce the value of what you offer through merit. Thank you!

  623. Good work!
    pls add new header layouts as well.
    cheers

  624. Hi Guys,

    Good job and kudos for your continuous improvement. I’m a bit dissapointed though. I feel flexible changes should be allowed on the Divi header and footer in terms of customisation. Every Divi theme seems to have the same header & footer format with little options of making changes.
    More also the customisable post header which is still not adaptable site-wide or on existing posts.
    Maybe you could include it in the future releases. Once again. Good job guys.

    • The Divi Header is very flexible if you master the Theme Customizer settings, especially if you play with font styles and transparency, and choose from one of the various header styles. We are always looking for ways to add more customizability though. What else do you want to be able to change in the header?

      • More flexibility on logo and menu positioning would be amazing… drag and drop positioning and resizing almost!… for static headers vertical and horizontal and drop down on scroll… flexible widget areas too… more bells and whistles for header creation please ET… (“Customizability” did you just invent that word Nick???) … Epic work as always ET… Boldly going where no theme has been before!!!

      • Hi Nick,

        Thanks for the response.

        I was referring to blog post header. I’m aware Divi has options to customise the title header of a blog post. There is a tutorial on how to achieve that on the Eleganttheme blog page. However one issue that kept propping up was the inability to apply the desired changes across existing posts.

        • “I was referring to blog post header. ”

          I agree Zion. While there is a lot to love about ET as a company and Divi as a tool the options to manage and manipulate blog layouts and blog posts themselves are much thinner than they need to be.

      • I think Zion wants what I want which is some of the modules to go in the DIVI menu.

        A DIVI header option that also includes one widget area above the primary menu would be nice as well.

        More than just four social media icons in the top menu without the need of having to use a child theme.

  625. Nice upgrade! I like that’s you’ve upgraded all the Divi-product with these new tools, such an addition!

  626. Can’t wait to try the new Divi features.

  627. This is a wonderful and incredible update. I can’t wait to be through writing this comment to start having fun with the new Divi. Thanks Nick and the ET team.
    No time, gotta dive in my Divi… Bye!!!!! 😀

    • Have fun Pablo!

  628. Just one word in french

    J’adore !

  629. Looks good guys, any idea on when you’re planning on implementing proper responsive image support? Having the ability to disable/enable modules based on three breakpoints is fine and dandy, but it’s triple the work for what is often very simply just a need to serve a lower resolution/size image to smaller devices, which WordPress does natively now.

  630. It is really exciting to hear such an amazing upgrade… 😀

  631. Woohoo!! A/B Split testing, i know my whole mkt department is gonna looooove this… me? more work!!!!

  632. Just curious how the system delivers the different versions. Does it automatically rotate between the different versions using the same url? Can you set the ratio to control how many times each version gets served?

  633. Great new options! Especially love that you can now export the theme settings. So useful! Also excited to try out the testing features. Divi has made me fall in love with WordPress despite my background with Drupal.

  634. Amazing upgrade! You are good!!

  635. I love the look of the new features and i am just at the stage of looking for a new theme for my new personal brand so this could work brilliantly. All I’ve got to do now is win one of the giveaway prizes to get it implemented (Crossed fingers & toes!)

    Keep up the good work ??

  636. Looks great, some features may come in very handy!
    I’ll take it for a spin as soon as possible! 😉

  637. Great job guys! Looking forward to checking all the new things out!

  638. fantástico!

  639. one of my fav update releases so far…. i love the new functionalities of divi!

  640. I’m so glad I switched from X Theme to Divi. Love how much time and money the lifetime membership saves my business.

  641. I love to work with Divi. And again, it just keeps getting better.
    You guys are raising the bar for WP themes, thanks for all the work that goes into this, you’re making WP more beautiful.
    2 thumbs up.

  642. Just keeps getting better and better! Thanks for all the work!

  643. great initiative

  644. Super awesome great!!!! Thnxs foor the amazing new features. I quickly finish my diner and start testing right away.

  645. I’m going to love the built in split testing features of Divi 2.7 – That will make life so much easier as I work with clients to produce the best results for their pages.

    • Let me know if you create any case studies as a result. Would love to see them and possibly share with the whole community.

  646. With Conversion Rate Optimization becoming more important than ever, the timing could not be better for this update. I can’t wait to test some new landing pages!

    • I’m excited too! I’m actually working on a Divi Nation Short all about conversion rate optimization with Divi Leads 🙂 Stay tuned!

  647. Is divi leads another word for analytics?

  648. It looks amazing!
    But with this new update, our pages and modules configuration, Will they be affected?
    Thanks ElegantThemes!!!

    • This update will not change your current posts or pages–beyond making these new features available of course.

  649. Awesome, I am excited! is there a place where we can share and download each others designs?

    • Not yet…for now I would encourage everyone who wants to share with each other to host their creations on their own blogs/websites and share them via the various Divi Facebook groups.

  650. Great news.

  651. This is a great update. Thanks for the hard work. I would love to have more options for the main navigation bar, such has putting the logo on the right, text on the left, and determining how far down the container the links sit. Sometimes it would be nice for them to sit at the top, or the bottom of the container. Also we need more options such as on hover colour, creating a line above or below the link, or creating a coloured background behind each link.

  652. Thanks sooooooo much for this update! The Enhanced Portability has me sold on Divi/Elegant Themes for life! I make websites for churches, but have always wanted to give them the power to do it themselves. With some training, I could productize their sites using the Enhanced Portability, without having to reupload the images. That is a huge thing for me.

    Divi for life!

    • “I could productize their sites using the Enhanced Portability, …”

      Your make a great point

    • Glad to hear it!

  653. The work on Divi 2.7 has been amazing so far but I choose Extra for my main site and now I’m begining to think I was left out. When would this changes will affect Extra (if any) and when do we plan on getting Extra updated?.
    There are even major several bugs in Extra that are still not fixed and a lot of us are still using older version of Extra because of said bugs.

    If this situation continues I may be forced to go back to Divi and abandon Extra alltogether.

    • All of these features are included in Extra and the Divi Builder plugin 🙂

      • Yeah I see the update on Extra already, thanks for letting me know !.

        Do you happen to know if the bug were fonts were not changing dynamically on Theme Customizer had been fixed?. I reported this bug on the forums but there were not fixes on 1.2.4.4

  654. A great update, thank you !!

  655. Unbelievable! This Update is really great and I am really happy about it.

  656. Awesome awesome awesome!

  657. Nick, Will the divi builder in Extra have these features also?!?

    • Yep, and the Divi Builder plugin too!

  658. Another awesome update, can’t wait to try out the new features! Thanks Nick and team!

  659. As I tweeted to your Twitter account. I love Divi 2.7, you’ve made my job so much easier. My current project is for a non profit and I can now help optimize their efforts so much easier. Thank you.

    • Thanks! I think Divi Leads is going to help a lot of organizations improve their effectiveness online 🙂

  660. I’m using divi since day 1, but it’s getting better and better with every update 🙂 well done guys, and thanks for this awesome theme!

  661. Divi, Divi, gimme just a little smile

    Sunshine, sunshine Divi

  662. Amazing! Thank you!!! =)

  663. really nice!!!

  664. Can’t wait to upgrade my client sites with this new feature! Thanks for all of the updates!

  665. This is awesome.

  666. Looks great! The Split Testing and Page Options, in particular, sound awesome.

  667. The page specific settings are fantastic!

  668. Great news and great theme 🙂

  669. Can’t wait to get started! Keep up the great work!

  670. Awesome! the new features will be very useful for any business. Also facilitate use the color palette. Amazing!

  671. Awesome, can’t wait to test out the split testing capabilities!

  672. Dope! Hope I can win the free upgrade. Looking forward to working with Divi 2.7 and excited for the future of Divi.

  673. Whoww, this seems to be really great.
    A lot to read, a lot to test, but can’t wait for playing with it !
    Thanks

  674. Keep it up ET Looking Great.

  675. Noooooo !!!! lol… i just updated all my divi sites to 2.6.4.4 and now i have to do it all over again lol ^_^

    I hate you guys 😛

  676. Now if only DIVI could be made to be a front end builder.

    It is my fave back end builder by a long shot for speed and ease of use, but it needs to get out of the dark ages and into the light!

    I think a front end version built with Elegant Theme’s attention to detail would be fantastic!

    • Let’s just say, you are going to really like Divi 3.0 🙂

      • Wow!

      • Yesss Please!!!

      • Yes, yes, yes. Did I say, yes? #<3

      • I’m looking forward to see the Divi 3.0 Front End Builder replacing Beaver Builder!

      • Great update as usual!!!!! Its like having xmas every few months…

        Daves comment about the front end is interesting……
        I use Beaver builder and Divi both but that gets strange at times… Beaver builder is the best inline editing building tool around…

        Divi builder has the foundation to be like Beaver Builder on the front end so this would be awesome !!! I would upgrade but I’m already a life time member… keep up the great work and support.

      • 😀

        • I’m sorry, but what’s a front end? (I’m just 3 weeks old into this)

          Thank you!

  677. You guys are just plain MAD. And freaking awesome too. Nick for President!!!!

  678. So excited for the color palette to remember my colors!

    • +1!!

    • Right?! It seems so minor but I absolutely love this new feature.

      • Am I missing something, or is there no way to make the existing pages/posts built with the builder use the Theme wide palette? WHen I create a new page/post I get the global palette I created, but when I edit an existing page, it seems to have the default palette. I like that we can define it by page, but there needs to be a way to clone the palette to existing pages.

  679. I am constantly impressed by the updates you guys have over here at Elegant Themes. Makes me happy I went for a lifetime membership every time I see a post like this.

  680. Wow. Can’t wait to try.

    On another note – do you have a blog post on how you created that awesome header SVG animation?

  681. Didinlt think the next updat would be a big one and Wow! Amazing new features 😉

  682. #1 request on my list is an easy way to turn off the “Designed by Elegant Themes” at the bottom. It’s as if Adobe insisted on adding a “Made in Photoshop” to all our photos…

    • Agree. Most themes allow you to do that simply via the Customizer, or even simple CSS which doesn’t revert back to default with each update. Given you pay premium, it should be the last thing you need to “worry about”.

      • When someone ask you to marry, they should not deny you that small kiss on your chin. And if they do…. They should never start talking about disabling plugins. And if they do talk about plugins at all in the middle of the marriageparty, you should maybe start reconsidering your partner.
        For me so far: great flirt, promising partner, wonderful new dress. Elegant theme, make sure to change that little piece of underwear before you propose! 🙂 And a little PS: Nowadays its pretty normal for a partner to keep her own name even after marriage.

        • This comes up every update. The real reason they don’t change this is likely SEO. Leaving this generic text in the footer leaves a link to their website on thousands of sites. This is a huge marketing advantage.

          I completely agree with this decision. It is part of the cost of the product. ET products are VERY reasonably priced. Part of the price is the free advertising that comes with every single theme they sell.

          Customers may feel entitled to have a certain feature in a product, but ultimately the company decides what kind of product to produce. As a consumer you can choose to buy it as they built it or buy it somewhere else. Many of the people that complain about this feature probably will not take their business elsewhere because of what a great deal ET products are.

          • Hi Mike,

            You are completely right, the internet is the ultimate example of the free market, if I do not like a product or service I can simply open a new tab and go elsewhere.

            However, When signing up for ET they do not state that you will have to carry visible branding for them on every site that you develop.

            Having this link in the footer totally devalues the product. Yes ET are very reasonably priced for the quality of their themes but as I cannot have sites running with this in the footer it means that my $89 subsciption…is…well….worthless…..which makes ET a very expensive supplier of themes for me……

            The product was advertised as a “Code Free WebSite Builder”

            If I cannot build a usable website without editing code then it is mis representation.

            I think that ET’s response to this has said it all.
            1) Ignore the issue
            2) Offer pointless short term workarounds

            The fact that they are now offering workarounds means they know customers, understandably, are not very happy with what is effectively enforced link spam on a paid product…..

            My level of Coding ability is irrelevant to this discussion. I should not need any to utilise this service…..

            It is a simple fix at the development end, every other paid theme I have ever used offers a simple Control Panel edit of the footer text. There is never any need to go and install plugins or edit PHP to simply remove their branding……

            Anyway…..if this is not resolved I will be voting with my feet and my wallet come renewal time…..it is ultimately their choice but it is distasteful, spammy and a tad underhanded.

            If a few enforced backlinks are more important than happy ( paying ) customers then so be it……their call mate……

            • Exactly. I check back occasionally when they update to see if this has been fixed. I will not buy it until it has been.

              Mike sez:
              >As a consumer you can choose to buy it as they built it or buy it somewhere else. Many of the people that complain about this feature probably will not take their business elsewhere because of what a great deal ET products are.

              Many of us simply don’t say anything. We check back, see the same rubbish, and leave. We DO take our business elsewhere. I doubt I’m the only one. Look above at commenters who have not renewed due to this issue.

              Dan sez:
              >Plus, if you don’t know how to set up a child theme or omit a line of text from a footer, I don’t think you should be designing custom websites. Don’t blame ET for your ignorance.

              Pompous much? 😀 I can make child themes all day long – the point is: I should not have to. That little line should be changeable by default without going around my elbow to get to my thumb every single time.

              From their own words:
              Our plethora of Shortcodes, Page Templates and Theme Options give you full control over your website. Manage your site like never before by using the countless powerful features that come packaged with all of our themes.

              “Full control” = except for the pieces we don’t want you to HAVE control over.

              See you next update.

          • We use divi footer editor, no need for a child theme, easy plugin for Divi and Edit the entire footer.

      • But why do you keep on providing a workaround to remove this in stead of make it a theme option? This is the number one request of all times and Elegant keeps on ignoring this request with every update. Why?

      • I beg to differ. I used the child theme generator recommended by you guys in the video, followed the directions exactly, and it caused all sorts of problems on my site. After trying it a couple of times, I just deleted the child. There’s a ticket I can reference.

        You need to listen to your customers. Why did I have to waste hours trying to deal with this simple thing and then not have it how I wanted it in the end. We’re paying a premium for Divi.

        • It’s actually easier to hide it with css than bother with a child theme. I’ve had similar issues with child themes before so I agree that can be wonky.

          Try this to see if it works: p#footer-info {display:none;}

        • I beg to differ with Bob. All I’ve had from ET customer support are great experiences. quality representatives and good listeners.

          Plus, if you don’t know how to set up a child theme or omit a line of text from a footer, I don’t think you should be designing custom websites. Don’t blame ET for your ignorance.

          • Well Dan this needs to be a theme default though and not something that needs to be done by a child theme.

            • touché 🙂

              • Fartoush

        • Oh man, I’m so sorry that happened to you Bob. I can assure you that is not normal. I’ve done the exact same process countless times and thousands of others have successfully followed that tutorial to do the same thing. If you’re still having trouble with it please follow up by creating a new ticket in support.

  683. Great new features! In particular, the new Split Testing really sets Divi apart from competing WP themes.

  684. Brilliant update! Thank you 🙂

  685. This is absolutely great news. Just eager to use this for the redesign of my webdesign company website.

  686. It looks amazing!!!

  687. Oh, I thought this update would be to Divi Theme only, I am excited to see that it will be available on Extra Theme aswell. Great job ET team, I can not wait to test it! 🙂

  688. I was about to write to suggest palette and css per page options… 🙂

    I guess all is missing now is an official ET marketplace to sell our packs.

    Great job once again!!

    • look into divi.space They have a way to sell ET related child themes, plugins, etc. And from what I know, very low rates.

  689. Brilliant stuff. Will explore it later.

  690. Great news! Divi gets better with each update, particularly being able to export and import between a test site and a live site.

  691. Have been looking forward to this since I saw the hints in Feb. Can’t wait to try it out, clearly the team has been analyzing the gaps. There’s still some css/theme granular control that I think is needed, but these features look awesome.

  692. yayy cant wait to test it all!

  693. Very good! Things I have been waiting for!

  694. Great update guys! GLWS

  695. awesome ! was kinda hoping for new header options and modules but this is already an amazing update even without it ! will play with it ASAP

  696. NICE ONE! This is an absolutely epic update! congratulations to the whole team.

    One thing I would love for 2.8 is the ability to have scrollable/swipeable rows. With this row type you would be able to add any of your existing columns and modules and have them slide in on a timer or swiped through like the header slider!

    Keep up the excellent work!

  697. I love these updates. The color palette alone is worth the update. haha. Keep crushing it guys. great work.

    • I am darned if I know how the colour palette works. Looking forward to some info on that

  698. Please tell me you can now get rid of the divi attribution in the footer without messing about. If so I will be delighted…

    • go to Divi > Theme Options
      enable body code, then in the
      Add code to the (good for tracking codes such as google analytics)

      add this code (edit the “your text here”) – works great

      /* shout out to http://updateyourfooter.com/ */
      var copyrightYear = new Date().getFullYear();

      // your footer message, replace with your message.
      // Make sure there are the right number of open and close QUOTES! wink emoticon
      var footerMessage = “© Copyright “+copyrightYear+” your text here.”

      document.getElementById(“footer-info”).innerHTML = footerMessage;

    • I use a divi footer plugin for that and works like a charm. Eliminating use of a child theme for that. Called Divi footer editor.

      • Where did you get a Divi footer plugin? I would like to try it.

    • You should be using a child theme if you want to make edits. On your computer, create a “Divi-child” folder, and then create a style.css file with:
      —————

      /*

      Theme Name: Divi 2.7 Child

      Template: Divi

      Theme URI: http://www.elegantthemes.com/gallery/divi/

      Version: 2.7

      Description: Smart. Flexible. Beautiful. Divi is the most powerful theme in our collection.

      Author: Elegant Themes

      Author URI: http://www.elegantthemes.com

      */

      @import url(“../Divi/style.css”);

      ————

      Copy the Divi footer.php file into the Divi-child folder. Open the copied footer.php and edit around line 40 where it has:

      <?php printf( et_get_safe_localization( __( 'Designed by %1$s | Powered by %2$s', 'Divi' ) ), 'Elegant Themes‘, ‘WordPress‘ ); ?>

      and change to:

      Site by MyCompanyName • Copyright 2016

      After you have that done, ZIP the folder, upload it to your site and activate the child theme.

      • A.L., good advice, except for one small detail: Child themes implemented by @import of the parent theme template is considered a deprecated method.

        The preferred method is enqueueing the style sheet via a function. See:

        https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

        • Hey! Thanks for the info — good to know!

    • This is the single reason I won’t be renewing. I’ve been using Divi and also Themefuse’s Unyson framework with their Core theme and I will be going with unyson only from now on. This refusal to allow us to edit the footer without going into php files drives me nuts.

      • This is the one and only reason I didn’t renew this year. Until this becomes a part of Divi they won’t get one more dime from me. The fact that they have never even once acknowledged the issue just proves their greed.

      • Hi Abel, I fee your pain and I’ve been there before. I’ve done enqueued line of code, the standard way to make child theme, it messed up my site with Divi. However, It was said that I have to continue with the import line of code which works well but count it as a drag but continued to use it when I have a nosy tech-type of client. But lately, one of the ET support team suggested Orbisius child theme plugin which makes it perfect to create child theme with header, footer, function.php and style.css at once. I never looked back even when I can create child theme manually but remembered we’re in automattic age! Though, I support you and every ET members longing for this small piece to be sorted out to give us the leverage to update the footer.php credit in a simple manner without replacing the code manually into it in either the parent or child theme.

        • Totally agree, orbisius child theme has been a staple item for all my work for a few years now. always works with ET themes, but is dodgy with a lot of Evanto rubbish.

        • I agree with @ bb
          it is a need for all premium theme to be able to edit the credits in footer. It seems ET still need more links to its website !? What annoying thing for all developers using ET.

    • I am about to try out Aspen Footer Editor as i have been using a child theme to enque a new footer php and it is time consuming and messy.

      i wish that something like Aspen Footer Editor was incorporated into ET themes or maybe a plugin which I could use on the older themes.

      Like others, I have been waiting a long time for this facility which is really a basic necessity.

    • When someone ask you to marry, they should not deny you that small kiss on your chin. And if they do…. They should never start talking about disabling plugins. And if they do talk about plugins at all in the middle of the marriageparty, you should maybe start reconsidering your partner.
      For me so far: great flirt, promising partner, wonderful new dress. Elegant theme, make sure to change that little piece of underwear before you propose! 🙂

    • Enter the following CSS into the Custom CSS box in the Apperance/Divi Theme Options
      #footer-info {display: none;}

      • I’m guessing most of the people here know how to do a simple display: none, but that’s not the issue first of all, and second of all I WANT a footer. I can’t think of ANY premium theme that doesn’t let you edit the footer. There is no reason other than them counting on people forgetting to edit their theme footer file every time there is an update so they get additional marketing for Elegant Themes. It’s ridiculous and even though I do like Divi, it’s the single reason I’m not renewing and just going with Themefuse when my year is up.

        • Agreed. It seems very underhanded to make us jump through so many hoops to use our own footer text. Edit the php files to put text in the footer? That’s ridiculous! We use Divi so we don’t have to mess with stuff like that. Plugins always just cause more trouble. It should be a standard part of the theme to let us enter the footer text we want.

          We should also be able to easily add a footer when using the blank page template.

    • Obviously that is not yet done. Regarding this feature request the developersame just ignore user request and force us to setup a child theme each time. Shame!

      • It is a must to have a child theme in my opinion.
        As for replacing the Divi attribution – that’s easy: just make a copy of the footer.php file in you Divi-child directory and replace the relevant code with your own. It takes about 10 minutes to do.

      • That’s not really a bad thing – to be forced to do a child theme, is it 🙂

    • I also want to support that wish

    • Oh man. I’ve been asking for this too. I had a child theme to do this that caused all kinds of problems with my site. This is a no-brainer, unless the developer prefers to push their marketing onto our sites.

    • I wouldn’t bet on it. Been asking for that for the last year or so….

  699. Marvelous!! Great work!

  700. Very nice upgrade! Congratulations! Don’t forget “custom post types” for next version.

    • I would suggest Types.

      • Yes, exactly. I use WP-TYPES to create the CUSTOM POST TYPES, events, books, collections….

        But if I want to show them, there is no DIVI MODULES that support CPT.

        And….. Beaver Builder Plugin has it.

        • WP-Types recently released an integration with Divi (and a handfull of other builders). I haven’t tried them together yet though.

      • I dont think DIVI supports TYPES in its modules ?

    • One of the great things about the Divi Library and the ability to create post and page layouts with it is that for most instances in which someone might want a custom post type you’re already covered.

      • I cannot load custom post types into any of the DIVI modules.. This in itself would be excellent.

        We needed this recently in the Blog module but the only selectable taxonomies come from the POSTS, it would be excellent if we could use “Events” or other plugin post_types.

        This would be extremely powerful for us as we do use a lot of custom types in slightly larger sites.

      • The CTP plugin doesn’t play nicely with divi. Posts and categories made with custom tax do not show up within blog module.

        • 🙁

      • Does it work for woocommerce product pages ?

  701. I post this request with every new version release. Wil you please add the option to include simple PHP code in the text Builder. None of the most common PHP code plugins work as the Divi Builder parses the code and escapes it. So for the forth upgrade in a row, please add this next time.

    Thanks

    • The ‘Code Snippets’ plugin works great with Divi.

    • hello.
      i use the PHP Code For Posts
      works perfect. just updated

    • Hi Bob, you can use the code module for PHP.

      • Thanks Nathan, but that does not work. I do not need a separate module, I need to embed the php code within a text module. For example, include the current date in the middle of some text.

        I have used the very popular Insert PHP plugin on many non-Divi WP sites. It works perfectly with all of them, but not Divi. I have tried other PHP plugins and none of them work with Divi either. They all result in in parse errors.

        I contacted ET support 6 months ago and they said PHP code is not supported. So if you have a way to make inserting small snippets (a line or 2 for example) within a text module, I would be very interested in seeing it actually work.

        i.e.
        [insert_php] echo “Hello World”; [/insert_php]

        • I would create a custom shortcode in the functions.php file with the PHP code, and then use the shortcode in the text module.

          • I was going say the exact same thing. Much more flexible and you can use attributes.

            • What Espen said (and Mark backed up); custom shortcodes are definitely the way to go!

              I’ve done this in the past; if this is somewhat of a big deal for people, it would be possible to explain it in a blog post in a bit more detail.

              • Oliver, Espen, Mark, thanks for directing me to the right direction. I’m relative new to WP.

                I’ve created a custom plugin where I define my custom shortcodes, and is working just the way I need. Sooo easy…:)

                Note for Divi developers – you should allow shortcode to be entered in the circle counter value, so I can replace it with the value from the DB. Currently only allows numbers.

        • I’ve managed to run PHP code with Divi.

          On a page I need to show dynamically a value in the circle counter. The value comes from the database so there is no other way.

          1. I created the layout of the page with the builder.
          2. Copied the Divi “code” from the source (right click-view page source)
          3. Create a new page – use the standard WP editor in text mode, insert your PHP code within the [insert_php] placeholders, and let the PHP echo the copied Divi code with your own PHP generated stuff.

          Works fine for me 🙂 Not really flexible, but does what I need.

        • Second this!

        • I agree that this would be a very powerful feature. It can be done via a plugin system, but even allowing the PHP plugin to work would be good..

      • Nathan

        Could you please show us a small example how to integrate PHP in the code module ?

        Up to now, this seems not to work straightforward.
        Like Bob, I experienced to need the use of a plugin to insert PHP in the page.

        [insert_php]
        $fp = fopen (“blahblah.json”, “r”);
        $contents = fgets ($fp, 255);
        fclose ($fp);
        $result = json_decode(substr ($contents, 7 ));

        [/insert_php]

        Thanks for your help

        • Whoops! Sorry guys, I was mistaken. You cannot use php in the code module.

          To quote Dustin from our support staff, here is why:

          WordPress Editor doesn’t allow PHP and since the underlying base of the builder is the WordPress editor, the same rule applies.

          PHP belongs in theme/plugin files. You don’t want to store PHP in the database. That’s why you can only use HTML/CSS in the editor.

  702. Thanks !!!
    It would be very good if you can ad in “Divi Builder Page Settings” the posibility to choose a specific menu for the page
    Thanks

    • That would be nice, but if did a google search for:

      CE WP-Menu per Page

      You will find a plug that will work for the primary menu though.

      • Thanks Richard ! I will take a look

  703. Wow! This is great! So happy to have a lifetime membership 🙂

  704. Awesome! This update meet my needs! :))

  705. Nope – updated files not available yet – but then I am probably the first to see this post!

    It’s great that these new features are included in Extra too – but shouldn’t the priority be to make sure that the Extra theme itself is updated to fix all the bugs? Maybe there are fixes in the update too – we can only hope?

    With all the new split testing & stats features, will this not make the database crazy big – and subsequently slow down the site? Just wondering…

    • I agree with Andrew. I’d love to come back to ET but the Extra theme needs a little bit of Extra Love 😉

      • Yes, thats true with the Extra Love ‼️

  706. I love these new update features. Can’t wait to try them out.

  707. I love this! Thanks to Nick and his splendid team.

    • And I love too 😀

  708. Excellent!

  709. Im using divi for many internal projects with great success, next step is publishing our brand new full featured corporate site.

  710. Seems awesome. I’ve a question:
    If I added 5 call to actions to Divi leads, which one will be displayed on the frontend?

    • Nice question, being waiting to ask this and it is now being answered. Thanks ET team, keep rocking it and we will help the world we have the edge with WordPress+Divi Builder

    • The way Divi Leads works is that it “splits” your traffic so that some people see one variant while others see another. This is how you can get comparisons on which one works the best. The more variants you test at one time, the more traffic you need to make a statistically significant test.

      • What is the ideal number needed to begin split testing?

        TIA

        • We’re actually going to publish a blog post very soon about how to make sure your Divi Leads test results are statistically significant.

        • 10 000 page views per testing version.

          Maximum 1-2 tesing elements at the time.

  711. Can’t wait to try it out! And thanks for the free layout pack!

  712. I love it, great job.

  713. Great looking release update! All of these features are useful, but I’m especially excited to use the split testing feature. That’s a great tool for optimizing hero images, CTAs…anything. Nice work!

  714. This Divi 2.7 looks solid will look into this soon.

  715. Divi keeps getting betterer and betterer! Split testing? Dooooooope!

  716. You folks must be in heaven with the overwhelming success of Divi.

    Congrats to all of you. And oh yes: THANKS!

    Charlie Seymour Jr

  717. Impressed as always Nick!! This is AMAZING!! Can’t wait to play with the split testing system!

  718. The DIVI leads will help my clients better understand how to improve their site. I’m loving how many of these upgrades are eliminating the need for external plugins. Each upgrade is making ET my go-to for building sites. I have rarely went outside of ET. #InLove

  719. Woo hoo!! Can’t wait to try this out! Thanks for keeping the awesome upgrades coming.

  720. Excited to start playing with these new features!

  721. Wow! This new version looks amazing! Thanks, Nick. Can’t wait to try out the new Divi Leads feature.

  722. It’s just… amazing ! Really good job

  723. I want it.

  724. Looks so awesome!!

  725. Awesome!

  726. It’s just… amazing !

  727. Hi Nick, this is the best theme ever in WordPress. Need to add some header and some page option too.

    • Agreed with the header. I also would like more options in the portfolio and the gallery. I miss more personalization.

      • Header and menu section is weak

    • Agree. Header, header nav and footer customizations needed!

    • Agreed. I would love the capability of adding different navigation headers on a per page basis.

    • Logo Sizes are complex and difficult to deal with using css.

    • +1

    • Yes! Navigation and header options are delicate at the moment, this really needs some attention.

    • Couldn’t agree more.

    • I agree! This would be icing on the cake.

    • The ONLY thing holding divi back are the limited header and navigation design choices. Hoping for a more robust header soon.

      • great theme! agree on header and navigation 🙂

      • New headers for all!

      • Agreed. The Divi theme technology is going strong… but the actual design is falling way behind.

      • me too.

      • Definitely agree with the header. Everything else is so customizable, and it just lacks in comparison.

        • 100% agree with the Header and Navigation part

      • agreed 🙂

      • Excellent Theme, I agree to work on a full header

      • +1 for more robust header

      • Ditto. I’ve tried with help from support. CSS, etc. Just can’t get it the way I want. I love DIVI and I can’t wait to play with the new stuff.

      • …….and me

        • me too, the header needs more options.

      • Same here!

      • Totally Agreed on the header part.

  729. Can’t wait to try this out on a couple form variations I’ve been working on. Super excited to update! Thanks guys you rock!

    • What I would like to see is that we can have the modules with the title we give….like suppose the module text + an short explanation of what is the title of the module…..because sometime if you have a large one page site we know where is what.Thks

    • All the best.

    • I can’t wait to try Divi out ?
