Welcome to the blog... great articles on the Divi theme

One of the great features that was introduced in the Divi 2.7 update is the Divi Builder Page Settings and it’s proving to be a real time saver.

The new settings allow you to adjust various design and default values for entire pages instead of having to make the adjustments on a Module by Module basis.

The new Page Settings give you control over: Split Testing, Custom CSS, Colour Palette, Gutter Width, Light or Dark Text Colour, Content Area Background Colour and Section Background Colour.

In this post I’ll show you where to find the Page Settings, run through what you’ll find there and take a look at a couple of the options in more detail.

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!

I always say that Divi is the perfect theme for anyone who wants to create…. not code. And that’s because Divi’s drag and drop interface allows you to create stunning pages and posts without touching a single line of code.

But even creating without coding takes a commitment of time and effort and having made that commitment wouldn’t it be nice to be able to use your creations on other websites or share them with friends and colleagues?

The good news is that whilst Divi has always had the ability to save, import and export Divi layouts, Divi 2.7 has taken portability to a whole new level.

In this post I’ll look at Divi’s increased import / export / portability features, which now include: a custom portability system that makes it super easy to import and export Divi Library Packs, Theme Customizer Settings, Theme Options and Divi Roles.

It’s taken as given that Divi allows you to create great looking content without touching a single line of code, but with the addition of the Divi Leads feature in Divi 2.7, you can now monitor just how well that content is converting.

Divi Leads is a fully functional split testing system that works inside the Divi Builder. It gives you the tools you need to build and test complete pages / landing pages, sections of content or even individual Modules.

In this post I’ll explain briefly what A/B split testing is, run through the main features of Divi Leads and explain why you should be using it to optimise your content in order to increase conversion rates, generate more leads and increase sales.
