A short post folks to let you know that Divi 2.6 is now available and that to celebrate its release Elegant Themes are offering a 20% discount on new accounts and account upgrades.
The main additions to Divi 2.6 are five brand new Divi Modules, various improvements to existing Modules, two new Header Styles, a new responsive editing system and a fresh new design for ePanel in the style of the Divi Builder interface.
I’ll be going over all the new features in future posts but for now I’ll just give a brief overview, look at a few items that caught my eye and give you the links to those 20% discount deals.

An overview of the Divi 2.6 features by the Elegant Themes team
This short video, by Nick Roach and his team over at Elegant Themes, will walk you through the new and improved features that have been added to this 2.6 update.
As you’ll see, this is a pretty comprehensive update, which has some fabulous new and improved features.
Some cool features there, which I’ll cover in detail in future posts, but for now let’s take a look at three features that caught my eye.
ePanel updated in the style of the Divi Builder interface
If you’ve been using Divi, or any other themes from Elegant Themes, for any length of time, you’ve probably become attached to the layout of the ePanel.
When the ePanel was first introduced it was way ahead of its time and allowed users to do some pretty cool things without touching any code. But nothing lasts forever and the ePanel has recently started to look its age.
So in the Divi 2.6 update the Elegant Themes team have completely restyled ePanel in the style of the Divi Builder interface… and it looks absolutely fantastic!
Responsive editing controls for desktop, tablet and smartphone
A new feature that is going to be hugely popular in Divi 2.6 is the Divi Builder’s new Responsive Editing controls. The new controls allow you to assign different sizing and spacing values for each breakpoint.
For example, you can create a custom Fullwidth Header module with big and beautiful text that fills desktop screens, and reduce the size of that text on mobile devices to ensure that it’s readable no matter how your visitors are viewing your page.
The fully updated Contact Form Module
The Contact Form has always been one of my favourite Divi Modules, but it did have a major drawback… you couldn’t add fields.
The 2.6 update has removed that restriction and you can now add custom input fields, which makes it a fully-functional form builder.
Other features added to the Contact Form Module are: Honey-pot Spam Detection, Custom Message and Content Order, Redirect URL’s and a Custom Success Message.
