Divi 5 now supports complete site editing in the builder, allowing you to edit your header, footer, body layouts, and page content at once.
Your entire site, from top to bottom, can be edited in a single step. You don’t have to exit to the Theme Builder. It’s really convenient and saves a ton of time!
There’s much to explore, so let me jump into the builder and give you the full, off-the-cuff tour. 👇
Complete Site Front-End Editing
Divi is more than a page builder; it’s a site builder. You can design your entire site from top to bottom, including customer headers, footers, product templates, category templates, and everything else.
These structural areas, typically hard-coded into WordPress themes, can be handcrafted in Divi using the Theme Builder, which lets you create dynamic templates with Divi’s full suite of modules and design settings.
Now, you can edit all of those Theme Builder templates on the front end without visiting the Theme Builder! No matter where you are on your website, you can click the “Edit With Divi Button” to jump into the builder and edit content or templates associated with that part of your site in a single editing session.
Enjoy Seamless Editing Between All Areas
Divi 5’s implementation of complete site editing is special and superior to Divi 4 because it allows you to edit all Theme Builder areas seamlessly, without having to “activate” each area one at a time.
You can interact with the entire site, and even copy, paste, drag, and drop between areas seamlessly!
Edit Everything On The Front End, Not Just Pages
Previously, the Edit With Divi button was only available for singular posts, like pages, products, and blog posts.
Now that Theme Builder areas are editable on the front end, the Edit With Divi button is always available on every part of your website.
You can always hop into the builder and edit whatever Theme Builder templates you assigned to that part of your website.
Easily Turn It Off For Your Clients To Protect Global Templates
It’s easy to turn off this new feature. If you don’t want to see your header, body, or footer templates while editing posts and pages, you can disable them in the builder settings.
Furthermore, you can use the Divi Role Editor to restrict Theme Builder access for your clients, preventing them from editing Theme Builder templates in the builder and accidentally messing up global layouts.
