Naming conventions are important for keeping files organized. It’s common to change the way you name things over time or name something in a way that doesn’t make sense to you later. It can be difficult to think up a great item name every time. With Divi Cloud, we don’t have to create the perfect name for every element on the first try. Divi Cloud makes it easy to rename your Divi layouts, categories, and tags. In this article, we’ll see how to rename a Divi Cloud item. We’ll also discuss some best practices for naming Divi Cloud items and see why you’d want to rename them.

Good Divi Cloud Items Naming Practices

Divi Cloud items are files. Like any other type of file, there are several things to keep in mind when naming your Divi Cloud items. The naming conventions are up to you. You can name them according to your tastes or practices but following standard naming conventions makes them easier to understand and organize.

Keep the format consistent. Don’t use all caps for one and lower case for the next. They should all have dashes, or none have dashes. The names should look like they belong in the same library. I recommend using a title format that would capitalize each significant word.

Include the type of element in its name. This makes the name more valuable and the element easier to identify.

For categories, name them as broad topics, such as home page, header, etc. For tags, name them as subtopics to refine the categories. They can be descriptive, such as “Minimal” or “Modern”.

When to Rename Your Divi Cloud Items

There are a host of reasons to rename your Divi Cloud items. Here are a few of the most common reasons to rename them.

  1. You should rename your Divi Cloud items when your names are inconsistent. This includes the text you choose, the capitalizations, numbering, or any other formatting you’ve used. Rename them to standardize your naming conventions.
  2. Another reason to rename them is if they don’t make sense to you, or you’ve made changes to them and the name no longer applies or is the best option. The names should be easy to understand at a glance
  3. Rename them if the items are hard to find in your searches. All relevant items should be included in your search results for the specific keywords you’re searching for.
  4. You should also rename them if you need a more descriptive title, or you want to add information such as the designer’s name or where the layout was used.

How to Rename a Divi Cloud Item

Now that we’ve explored naming conventions and why you’d want to rename your Divi Cloud items, let’s see how to perform the renaming of those items. There are three different Divi Cloud items that you can rename: the layout’s title, categories, and tags. The process is different for the title, but the categories and tags are similar to each other. We’ll look at each one.

  1. Thank you for this blog. Is there a way in Divi Cloud to “bulk delete” multiple files? I need to remove 500 files I accidentally uploaded twice.

    Thanks, Dan
