Divi 5 Public Beta 7 Release Notes

The Divi 5 Public Beta is available today. If you prefer the experience to Divi 4, it’s ready for use. If you use Divi 5, you’ll notice an update notification for Public Beta 7. We release new Divi 5 versions every two weeks, and each one improves upon the last.

If you haven’t tried Divi 5 yet, give it a test and let us know what you think.

What’s New In Public Beta 7?

We implemented 62 bug fixes and improvements and released new features: Preset Manager, Preset Preview, and Preset/Variable Export.

Our mission over the past few months has been to fix bugs and implement minor improvements. The entire team continues to address your feedback as we approach the official release of Divi 5. After nearly a year of public testing and enhancements, Divi 5 is stable, and we’re getting ready to remove the beta label and make it official.

In the meantime, you can use Divi 5 if you prefer the experience to Divi 4. Give it a try and experience the future of Divi today!

In my spare time, I’ve also been keeping the ball rolling on your most requested features. If you want to get an early inside scoop, I often post progress reports in the Divi Theme Users Facebook group. Join us!

Preset Manager, Preset Preview, And Preset/Variable Export

We released the new Preset Manager in Public Beta 7. 🎉

Now, you can manage all your presets from one location, edit them, and view changes in a new preset previewer without disrupting your page content and design flow.

We also added the ability to import and export all your website’s presets and variables, making it easy to jumpstart new websites with a specific set of each.

Fixes & Improvements

Here is a list of all fixes and improvements included in this update.

Added new Preset Manager and Preset Preview systems.
Added the ability to export and import a website’s design variables.
Added the ability to export and import a website’s presets.
Fixed text alignment in RTL languages by removing hardcoded left defaults and using RTL-aware CSS values, ensuring modules default to proper alignment in RTL mode while preserving explicit alignment choices.
Fixed elements disabled on all breakpoints are unnecessarily kept in the DOM when not used as interaction targets.
Fixed fatal error when the Floating DiviMenus plugin is active on non-Divi Builder pages by ensuring the builder framework loads when needed for D4 extension compatibility.
Fixed WooCommerce Product Images module to support Grid/Flex layout spacing controls, allowing users to adjust horizontal and vertical gaps between thumbnail images.
Fixed issue where modals using “Last Used Position” preference would become undocked when reopened, even if they were docked when closed. Modals now correctly restore their last docking state across close/reopen cycles.
Fixed line-height option not working for Woo Product Description module in Theme Builder context by ensuring placeholder content includes proper paragraph tags to match regular page HTML structure.
Fixed an issue where resetting Title Text Color at the module level didn’t apply the preset color set at the element’s preset level for Open Title Text Color in the Toggle module.
Fixed Blog module Grid Tile Background Color option not appearing when the module is first added.
Fixed background gradient color stops being applied to the wrong module when switching between modules of the same type in Visual Builder.
Fixed Contact Form fields losing their half-width layout after migrating from Divi 4 to Divi 5. Fields that were half-width in Divi 4 now correctly maintain their half-width layout in Divi 5, even when the width attribute wasn’t explicitly set in the original shortcode.
Fixed raw JSON code appearing on the frontend when modules with loop dynamic content are moved outside loop-enabled containers. Modules now display nothing (or configured before/after text) when the loop context is unavailable, matching expected behavior.
Fixed the Social Media Follow module horizontal and vertical gap settings not working in flex and grid layouts.
Fixed an issue where interaction Target Module selections were not persisting after Visual Builder reload for interactions created on child canvas modules.
Fixed Conditional Display Date & Time Hour and Minute fields displaying format string instead of numeric values.
Added Role Editor permission enforcement throughout Divi 5 Visual Builder, ensuring role-based restrictions configured in the admin interface are respected adequately in the builder interface.
Fixed sections not accounting for WordPress admin bar height when users are logged in, causing content to be hidden behind the admin bar.
Fixed button module icons not rendering correctly for different breakpoints.
Fixed custom CSS specificity issue in Menu and FullwidthMenu modules.
Fixed global module confirmation popup not appearing when attempting to add modules or perform actions that would close module settings with unsaved changes, ensuring users receive clear feedback and options to save or discard their edits.
Fixed Button Option Group presets not applying to Hero Module’s Button One and Button Two when created on the Button module.
Fixed background preview transparency indication by adding a checkerboard pattern that automatically appears when backgrounds have transparent areas, making it easier to distinguish transparent backgrounds from opaque ones.
Added badge element example to StaticModule, demonstrating custom color field styling using decoration.color pattern for 3rd party developers.
Added task documentation for badge element example demonstrating custom color field styling.
Fixed background images disappearing on tablet/phone when parallax is enabled on desktop but disabled on more minor breakpoints.
Fixed an issue where Global Modules with script tags in Code Module content had their script tags stripped when loading from the library. Script tags are now preserved for modules that have the allowHtml property enabled in their metadata.
Fixed the Blog module grid layout breaking when displaying posts in video format by allowing grid items to shrink within their allocated column width.
Fixed crash when accessing Transform settings in Sticky mode by adding null safety checks to transform field components.
Fixed Visual Builder not displaying opacity for Content Area Background Color when using Global Colors.
Fixed Row module input placeholder not updating when default maxWidth value is changed via moduleDefaultAttributes filter.
Fixed free-form CSS selector replacement to correctly handle CSS selectors containing the word “selector” and properly support prefixed selectors in the Theme Builder context.
Fixed the Icon List Item module’s Align Items setting not taking effect when configured in module settings.
Fixed unwanted spacing between bar counter items that appeared after migrating from Divi 4 to Divi 5.
Fixed Slider module style discrepancy after migration from Divi 4 by restoring custom CSS specificity.
Fixed featured images displaying incorrectly on paginated pages for Theme Builder layouts on taxonomy archive pages by ensuring each layout uses a unique cache key and loop detection functions check the correct post content.
Fixed the Social Media Follow module icons displaying incorrectly in the Block layout after D4 to D5 migration in Theme Builder.
Fixed an issue where the hover border color would show black instead of the defined “All Border” color when setting border width on a specific side.
Fixed modules disabled on desktop remain visible on wide screens when widescreen/ultrawide breakpoints are disabled.
Added documentation page explaining how to use the Divi 5 Migrator Tool and ensure third-party modules are compatible with bulk conversion.
Fixed copy/paste functionality for heading style attributes in the Text module, allowing users to copy all heading attributes (H1-H6) and paste them to any other heading level.
Fixed “Loop Featured Image” option to work correctly with Media post type by detecting attachment post types and using the appropriate WordPress function to retrieve image URLs.
Added documentation for the fonts child object in conversion-outline.json, explaining how to map font family settings for different text elements when converting Divi 4 modules to Divi 5.
Added documentation for implementing Option Group Presets in Divi 5 modules.
Fixed looped featured images not displaying in Visual Builder when using Canvas Portal with Loop Builder.
Fixed duplicate tooltips appearing when hovering over preset icons in module settings panels.
Fixed specialty section column CSS classes and IDs disappearing after migration from Divi 4 to Divi 5.
Fixed preset tags with long names not showing the X button to remove/unassign presets. Tags now expand to use available modal space while maintaining proper text truncation.
Fixed an issue where Global Variables with FR unit values were not available in Grid layout field pickers.
Fixed sticky elements failing when the Theme Builder header and the first body section were both sticky.
Fixed button hover states to respect preset-defined padding values instead of applying hard-coded padding.
Fixed Grid Offset Rules not saving in WooCommerce Product Gallery and Gallery modules when using Grid layout. Rules now persist correctly when reopening settings and apply properly in both Visual Builder and the frontend.
Fixed the Lottie module margin-bottom spacing not applying in Visual Builder and Frontend.
Fixed the Alignment option in Social Media Follow to appear only for block layouts.
Fixed magnific-popup.js not loading on first page load for Image modules with Lightbox enabled in Theme Builder templates.
Fixed the Person module description element, which was incorrectly applying full-width in flex layouts, breaking custom CSS positioning.
Fixed responsive icon font size not working on tablet and mobile devices when using global presets in the Icon and Icon List modules.
Fixed nested Tabs Modules breaking when parent tabs are clicked by scoping tab selectors to direct children only, allowing nested tabs to function independently.
Fixed Global Variables not updating immediately in Visual Builder for style attributes like Blurb icon width.
Fixed WooCommerce modules not honoring the default border color when border width is set without explicitly setting a color.
Fixed the Woo Product Tabs module displaying a PHP warning and missing description tab content when Theme Builder layouts are empty.
