Divi is a great theme for both beginners and advanced users alike because Divi’s drag and drop interface allows you to create stunning pages and posts without touching a single line of code.
But what happens when something goes wrong, such as a plugin incompatibility, a memory error or a caching issue, it can be frustrating at best and can bring you to a complete standstill at worst.
The good news is that with the release of Divi 2.7, the Divi Builder will now troubleshoot itself, identify problems and help you fix them without wasting your precious time.
In this post I’ll take a brief look at Divi’s Dynamic Help System and as a bonus, I’ll give you a link to Elegant Themes’ gorgeous new Library Pack that you can download and use for free!

Divi 2.7’s Dynamic Help System… help when and where you need it
Pre Divi 2.7, when the Divi Builder failed to load, you were confronted with the spinning wheel of death and had no idea what the problem was.
Now the Divi Builder knows when it fails and it tries to diagnose the problem.
The Divi Builder detects common problems and suggests solutions. It will look for things such as memory errors, wp-config misconfigurations, unwanted cached files, outdated theme and WordPress versions, plugin incompatibilities and more.
Elegant Themes tell us that:
This is the beginning to what we hope will become an even more robust self-help system in the future.

If you want to add the power of the Divi Builder to your WordPress website, but you want to keep your existing theme, then you need the Divi Builder plugin.
The Divi Builder is a plugin, which works with any WordPress theme and allows you to add all the Divi Builder’s functionality to your website.
This is an example of a page created with the Divi Builder plugin, on a Genesis theme website.
