42 releases,
1 big bet.

Divi AI Agents are here — a new way to build on top of everything Divi 5 has introduced and made possible over the last year.

What's new

Mar 192025
Builder · Foundations

Advanced Units — CSS functions and variables come to Divi 5.

The first public glimpse of Divi 5's new foundation: native support for calc(), clamp(), var(), and the full CSS unit system inside every setting.

Apr 032025
System · Tokens

Design Variables — one source of truth for every color, space, and font.

Define colors, spacing, and typography once; reuse them everywhere. Change a value in one place and watch the entire site update.

Apr 172025
Layout

Nested Rows arrive — rows inside rows, finally.

A small structural change with an outsized effect on layout. The depth limit is gone; complex layouts get simpler to build.

May 012025
Composition

Module Groups — reusable, styleable units of modules.

Group any combination of modules into a single component, style it once, and reuse it as a single unit across pages and sites.

May 162025
Builder UX

Attribute Management — copy, paste, and reset across any element.

Styles, presets, and content — copied from one module and pasted onto another, at the field, group, or element level.

Jun 052025
Markup

Extend Attributes — pass-through HTML at every level.

Developers can extend any module's output with custom attributes, opening Divi up to integrations that used to require custom code.

Jun 192025
Color

Relative Colors and HSL — color math, native.

Derive shades, tints, and complements directly from your palette variables. Color systems finally feel like systems.

Jun 252025
Migration

Improved Backward Compatibility — Divi 4 sites, on Divi 5, untouched.

Every layout, child theme, and module continues to run as-is on the new engine. No migration step, no rebuild.

Jun 272025
Behavior

Interactions — pop-ups, toggles, scroll and mouse effects.

A unified behavior layer for the builder. Trigger anything from anything, declaratively, with no JS required.

Jul 112025
Layout

Divi 5's Flexbox Layout System has arrived.

Modern flex layout with gap, alignment, wrapping, and ordering — exposed visually, designed to map cleanly onto CSS.

Jul 252025
Dynamic

Loop Builder — query and loop any post type, visually.

A first-party loop with filtering, sorting, pagination, and full styling control. The end of needing a third-party plugin for dynamic content.

Aug 082025
Modules

Group Carousel, Lottie, and a new module set.

Wrap any module group in a carousel; embed Lottie animations natively. Plus a bundle of smaller module additions.

Aug 272025
Responsive

A new Responsive Editor — designing across breakpoints, rethought.

Custom breakpoints, container queries, and a side-by-side preview that lets you tune any setting at any size without leaving the canvas.

Sep 112025
Markup

Custom Attributes — add any attribute to any element.

A full schema for custom HTML attributes, with autocomplete for common ARIA, data-*, and accessibility patterns.

Oct 032025
Builder UX

The Inspector arrives — DevTools, inside the builder.

Hover any element to see its computed styles, variable resolution, and inherited values. The end of guessing where a style came from.

Oct 212025
Layout

CSS Grid for Divi 5 — the second layout primitive.

Track sizing, named areas, auto-placement, and gap. Modern grid layouts without leaving the visual builder.

Oct 242025
Composition

Nested Modules — modules inside modules, with rules.

Compose new module types from existing ones. A small change that opens up an entire category of design patterns.

Nov 112025
System

Stacked and Nested Presets — compose presets like layers.

Apply multiple presets to a single module, stack their effects, and override specific values at the leaf. A design-token system, in practice.

Nov 192025
Major Milestone · Public Beta

The Divi 5 Beta has arrived. Three years in the making.

After 23 feature drops in eight months, Divi 5 opens to every member. A new engine, native React rendering, structural blocks, and a fully backwards-compatible migration path. The rebuild becomes real.

Dec 232025
Behavior

Divi Canvases — off-canvas menus, popups, and canvas portals.

One primitive for every overlay surface in modern web design: mobile menus, modals, side panels, and portaled UI — all designed in the builder.

Jan 162026
System

Preset Manager — preview, manage, and export your design system.

Browse every preset and variable in one panel, preview changes in context, and export the whole system to share between sites or with a team.

Jan 282026
Builder UX

Page Manager — preview mode, content drill-down, and more.

A new top-level navigator for any Divi site. Jump anywhere, preview from any viewport, and inspect content without entering edit mode.

Feb 112026
Modules

New Menu Modules — looping, interactions, and full styling.

A complete rewrite of navigation. Loop a menu like any post type, attach interactions to any item, and style every state.

Feb 132026
Builder UX

The Divi 5 Command Center — keyboard-first, everywhere.

⌘K opens a single command palette to every page, setting, module, and action in Divi. The end of menu-hunting.

Feb 262026
Major release · 5.0

Divi 5 is official. The wait is finally over.

Three months after the public beta, Divi 5 graduates to stable. This is just the beginning of the next chapter of Divi.

Mar 022026
Performance

Speculative Prerendering — pages load before the click.

Divi predicts the next navigation and prerenders it in the background. Time-to-content drops to near-zero on internal links.

Mar 302026
Builder UX

Composable Settings — hundreds of new options, no more menus.

A new settings architecture lets any module expose any option, any way. The result is hundreds of additions without a single new tab.

Apr 212026
Forms

Form Styling, Field Presets, Focus Editing — and a CF7 Module.

Forms get the same design-system treatment as everything else: tokenized fields, focus-state editing in the canvas, and a first-party Contact Form 7 module.

Apr 262026
System

Nested Options Presets — compose presets at any depth.

Presets that target sub-options of sub-options. The token system gets deeper, and the cascade gets explicit.

May 052026
System

Sizing System and a Color Palette Variable Generator.

A coherent sizing scale baked into the system, plus a palette generator that produces accessible, harmonious variables from a single seed color.

May 112026
Media

Aspect Ratio, Image Framing, and Image Presets.

Designer-grade image handling: aspect-ratio locking, smart cropping, and reusable image presets across the entire system.

May 222026
Modules

Five New Modules — Timeline, Breadcrumbs, Table of Contents, SVG, and Instagram Feed.

A major module drop that adds storytelling timelines, better navigation context, richer document structure, lightweight vector support, and native social feed integration.

Jun 052026
Design

Gradient Editor, Gradient Variables, and Text Effects.

Gradients become a first-class attribute: copy, paste, extend, and reuse them as variables. Fill text with gradients or images, and add strokes without leaving the picker.

Jun 122026
Workflow

Customizable Workspaces — make the builder yours.

Save panel layouts, color schemes, and dock positions as named workspaces. Switch between them instantly from the sidebar or the command center.

Jun 262026
Typography

Variable Fonts and New Text Styling Options.

The latest Google Fonts, including variable axes, plus drop caps, text columns, hyphenation, stroke position, and magazine-style type controls across every font group.

Jul 092026
Layout

The CSS Grid Editor — build grids visually.

A visual editor for CSS Grid templates, gaps, and offset rules. Layouts live on the container, so loops and child items fall into place without per-item gymnastics.

Aug 102026
Modules

Loop Filter Modules — search, filter, and reorder on the front end.

Post Filter forms let visitors query loops by text, taxonomy, custom fields, and order. A new tooltip module nests inside any element, including loops.

Aug 132026
Modules

Charts Module — nine interactive chart types, plus a tabular data editor.

Line, area, bar, radar, pie, doughnut, polar, scatter, and bubble. Populate from a CSV or edit the data source in the builder without leaving the canvas.

Divi 5 Charts module with interactive chart types
Aug 132026
Modules

Gravity Forms Module — embed and style any form in Divi.

With Gravity Forms installed, drop in a native module, pick a form, and restyle it with Divi’s design settings, field presets, and pseudo-class editing.

Divi 5 Gravity Forms module for embedding and styling forms
Aug 132026
Modules

Imagely Module — galleries and sliders, designed in Divi.

Embed Imagely galleries inside the builder and style every element with Divi presets. Sliders included — no extra gallery UI to learn.

Divi 5 Imagely module for galleries and sliders
Aug 132026
Modules

Payment Button Module — PayPal and Stripe, without a store.

A simple button for accepting payments when you don’t need products, carts, or fulfillment. Configure PayPal or Stripe and style it like any other Divi button.

Divi 5 Payment Button module for PayPal and Stripe
Sep 32026
Major release · Divi AI Agents

Divi AI Agents are here. A new way to build.

Tell Divi what you want in natural language and it designs layouts, writes code, generates images, and manages your site — inside the Visual Builder and across WordPress admin. The year of Divi 5 ends with something new.

Divi AI Agents in the Visual Builder

Say, Hello to — Divi 5 & the AI Agent.

Forget everything you thought you knew about Divi. We started from scratch to directly address every pain point and criticism, and build a foundation to propel Divi forward for the next decade.

Divi 5
I.

Rebuilt from scratch.

Divi 5 is built on a new tech stack and rids itself of a decade of technical debt. It's a lean machine.

II.

Divi AI Agents.

Tell Divi what you want in natural language. Layouts, code, imagery, and site management — on top of everything Divi 5 made possible.

III.

A real design system.

Variables, presets, Flexbox, CSS Grid, and Loop Builder — the systems that made forty-plus releases possible.

IV.

Native React.

A new engine with native React rendering. The builder feels instant, and the front end is lean.

V.

A brand new API.

Developers can build custom modules and integrations more easily than ever with Divi's robust new API.

VI.

WordPress format.

Divi saves content in a block-based format, opening up new possibilities for Gutenberg cross-compatibility.

A look ahead

Now, on to the Next.

The rebuild is shipped, the foundation is new, and the year ahead is for everything we've been waiting to build on top of it.
