  1. Just wanted to say how much I appreciate the effort that goes into making these tutorials so straightforward to follow. I realise that they take a lot of work but the clear step-by-step instructions supported by copious screenshots are invaluable to someone learning Divi. I have just implemented example #5 on a site and it looks great. Thanks.

  2. This is great – thanks. I tend to use defaults too often and the examples showing the various end-results that can be achieved through tweaking the settings is really helpful to me…

  3. Hey Donjete,

    I always love your tutorials. You consistently manage to deliver beautiful functional outcomes in your presentations. Cheers

    James

  4. Fabulous designs and great inspiration. Appreciate the time it must take to create and keep track of all those screenshots. Just a suggestion, maybe paginate these tutorials as they are often very long by nature and require a lot of scrolling when viewed on a tablet.

    Thank you!

  5. Nice post

  6. I find it comical that Elegant Themes continues to release blog posts showing their front-end builder being used. Given that it’s not loading for many people for what is going on a month now. I have submitted a ticket to support. I’ve updated to the latest version of everything. My site is hosted with Siteground…maybe that’s the problem. I’ve tried multiple versions of PHP as well.

    When the front-end page editor is open. You click on the plus sign or gear icon of any module and nothing happens.

    Please help with this! I am a massive fan of Elegant Themes and have been a paying customer for many years on multiple accounts.

    Don’t let us down with all the current WordPress changes. You all do great work.

  7. Wow – you’ve put an awful lot of work into this so very well done indeed and I just love the first one but do you know what? The chances of my clients being willing to have their photo plastered across my website is I suspect very low indeed. Also right now I have around 40 text testimonials on a page (maybe a few too many)so adding images to that would make it a very long page indeed.

  8. Please keep sending these great tips. Super helpful and I love the design your team puts together. Thank you!

  9. I like the idea of using a text module and testimonial module together.

  10. Bring back the old support forum please.

    Your new support system totally sucks.

    • I agree and it’s more work for ET as now you can’t search for an answer to a question that’s already been asked numerous times.

    • I couldn’t agree more. And it must be more work ET as it’s now impossible to search for an answer so the same question gets asked again and again and again.
