Using Divi is already very easy as you are not dealing with code at all. But often you may need to lock a design element or save it to a library. Few other features are also available through right-click context menus for quick access.

Just right click on the screen and you will see this:

The creators of Divi also understand that sometimes creative process isn’t straightforward.

It may require many revisions and that means many undo and redo operations. Apart from easy undo options, you can also access the Divi layout history to redo any of your previous changes.

Responsive Testing is yet another feature that most Divi users have enjoyed. Majority of your customers or prospects are accessing your website through a mobile device. So it is imperative to consider all screen sizes.

As you are building your page with Divi, you can change screen sizes between Phone/Tablet/Desktop to see how your page/module will look like on those devices.

If you are a developer and want to play more with Divi to tune your designs, here is an official tutorial from Elegant Themes to work with responsive web design using media queries.

Creating Abstractions before Client Handoff with the Divi Role Editor

The Divi Role Editor is all about creating an abstraction for users within the Divi Theme.

If you have different WordPress users, each one has a fixed set of privileges.

The Subscriber or Contributor roles cannot publish an article, but an Administrator has site-wide access to everything!

If you are a website designer/developer the role editor will help you big way. When you are finished customizing the website for a client, you can’t assume the client webmaster won’t try to tinker with your design. They will be looking to save money on customizations by trying to do it themselves.

But of course, as a designer you want to retain that control for yourself. With Divi Role Editor, you can assign different access permissions for the client’s users to restrict access to certain features in your Divi Theme.

Here’s what you get with Divi Role Editor:

This is just a glimpse of what you can do with the Editor. On the Role Editor screen, you can enable or disable several other granular settings like:

• High-Level Theme Privileges
• High-Level Theme Privileges
• Divi Library Settings
• Settings Types & Tabs
• Individual Modules
• Builder Interface

Even if you are a website owner and not the developer, the role editor saves you and your website.

You may hire editors and writers to write for you. You can retain some access to them so as to secure your website from being broken.

Store Divi Theme Customizations in Divi Library

The Divi Library is your global gallery where you will store your customized layout designs and your sections/rows/modules. Throughout your entire usage life cycle of Divi, you will be creating hundreds of beautiful customizations.

Every time you think you have perfected the design, simply save them in the Divi Library for using it multiple times. This allows you to reuse them directly without having to design them all over again from scratch.

For agencies, it enables them to export the design and layout settings to multiple websites having similar designs.

This function of Divi saves hours for me – Global Library Items

Divi provides yet another powerful feature called “Global Library Items”.

Unlike regular library items (which are created once, but never altered), Global items are synced across all their usage instances.

This simply means if any global library item is altered, the changes would be reflected on all pages where the same global module or global section is used. This means you can make the changes of global modules only once and through internally linked instances, Divi will update all the pages where the module is currently in use.

Even Global items can be configured to sync only settings but not the content of individual usages.

Split Test your Divi Theme Designs with Divi Leads

When you are designing sales pages or landing pages, you would typically start with one or two sections of content (i.e. the sales pitch), then you may make the customer read some testimonials, then finally you would want to lead them to a Call to Action button.

Now, in this entire journey from start to end, you should change the text or testimonials to see which of them makes the visitors click the CTA button and converts at the highest rate. This is what we call Split Testing and Divi Leads allows you to create and measure individual modules as subjects of split tests.

Divi Leads allows you create a test subject, create variations on it, and then designate a test goal. Every time the page is displayed, Divi will automatically show different variations to the users and collects different stats as the user moves down from the first section towards the CTA.

The stats collected in Divi Leads reports are:

• Clicks
• Sales
• Conversions
• Bounce Rates
• Reads
• Goal Engagement

Once you start the test, give it sufficient time to collect enough number of samples or else you won’t have enough data to choose the winning variation.

Note:

The Divi Page Builder plugin mentioned in this article is not needed to be installed if you are working with the Divi or Extra theme.

Divi Builder (Visual Builder and backend builder) are in-built with the DIVI Theme.

Divi Page Builder plugin is only needed if you have any other theme where this page builder is not in-built or if you are using any third-party theme.

Customer Support from Elegant Themes

Divi being one of the most popular themes with a drag-and-drop visual page builder, there are several websites which host Divi tutorials to help you leverage the power of Divi’s Visual Builder to the max.

Besides, Divi documentation from Elegant Themes is also a huge wealth of knowledge to understand and use the Divi theme in and out. Moreover, Divi now comes with inbuilt help section inside its page builder. Elegantthemes has all the documentations regarding all of its themes and plugins; they are not limited to only Divi Theme.

If you are a Elegant Themes customer, you can access to its support forum and get their experts help you on your troubles. In terms of human support, we have been using Divi on many of our sites and slowly we have enjoyed interacting with the customer support. They have been very helpful in helping us solve issues of all scales – major or minor.

Divi Theme Short Codes

Divi utilizes short codes in the background as you unleash your creativity through its various customization panels. You don’t have to worry about that them when you using Divi (they’re all managed automatically).

However, when you uninstall the Divi theme, these short codes will also be left because WordPress doesn’t have a “Theme Uninstall” button. It does not allow the theme to clean up its mess; it just pastes one theme on top of another. If this looks like a problem you may face, you can always keep using Divi page builder without using the Divi Theme.

Divi Theme Code Module

 From our own experience, we can say that Divi is one of the Best WordPress Theme we used – we even migrated many of our sites over time to Divi!

We don’t want to term Divi as a Best WordPress Theme, but it’s a whole lot more. Divi is a product in itself. Divi is an ecosystem in itself. Yes, you read it right.

Divi is Secure

WordPress is a fairly secure CMS. However, few vulnerabilities in WordPress do get exposed from time to time. So, you would like to select a theme which offers security. And Divi, don’t disappoint here too.

Sucuri, which is one of the popular and trusted security solution providers, has given Divi its seal of approval. So, that takes away all the doubts related to Security. 

Concluding our Divi Theme Review

Divi Theme has made it very easy for non-technical users to design their own websites. DIVI is one of the Best WordPress Themes we used.

Though Divi library and Divi Role Editor are immensely useful for web development agencies looking to improve their turnaround time.

For entrepreneurs who launch new products regularly, Divi Leads helps them run split tests and capture real-time data which helps them make well-informed marketing decisions.
