  1. Cannot import layout with any of the three ways Divi has to import. All give “This file should not be imported in this context.” Layout Error
    From dashboard > Divi > Divi Library . Did not work
    From Visual Editor > where import/export icon is. Did Not work
    From Page editor > Where import/export icon is. Did Not work

    Any suggestions?

  2. Thanks, great footer.

    I can’t make divi-highight-contact-details-global-footer-template.json work.
    When I import it says: “This file should not be inported in this context.” ?

  3. Thanks, Donjete Vuniqi for sharing this guide.
    This post will be helpful for our interns in adding footer sections on our client’s website.
    I know Divi has already provided templates but for more customizations, this detailed guide will definitely save our time.
