How to Use Midjourney to Create AI Art in 2023 (Detailed Tutorial)

Artificial intelligence (AI) has taken the world by storm. With countless text-to-image generators hitting the market, there are plenty of options to try. However, if you want to create the most realistic images using AI art generators, MidJourney is among the best. In this post, we’ll walk you through the steps you’ll need to take to get started, along with some tips and tricks to get the most out of it. Let’s get started.

What is MidJourney?

Midjourney is an excellent example of generative AI that creates images based on text prompts. It has become one of the most popular tools for creating AI art, along with Dall-E and Stable Diffusion. Unlike its competitors, Midjourney is self-funded and closed-source, so knowing exactly what’s under the hood is cloudy. We know that it relies heavily on machine learning technologies such as large language and diffusion models. The results are sometimes startling, always impressive, and can possess very realistic qualities.

Unlike other AI art generators, it doesn’t have a free trial. It’s become so popular that signing up for a subscription is necessary before using it. That said, their lowest-tiered plan is reasonable at $10 monthly. In our experience, it’s well worth it, considering the level of detail, realism, and creativity it provides. It’s also relatively easy to get started. Within a few minutes, we were able to generate a highly detailed, realistic series of photos of a dog having the time of his life in the bed of a truck just from a simple text prompt.

Getting Started With MidJourney

Subscribe To Our Youtube Channel

As previously mentioned, Midjourney no longer offers a free trial. You’ll need to subscribe to generate AI art to get the most out of it. We’ll walk you through the steps to set up your Discord account and show you how to subscribe to Midjourney.

Step 1: Setting up Discord

Before you can create amazing AI art with Midjourney, you’ll need to sign up or sign in to your Discord account. If you already have one, you can skip to the next step. Start by navigating to the Midjourney landing page.

Click on Join the Beta.

This will bring you to a new screen where you can create a Discord account. Once you’ve filled out the required fields, click the continue button. Alternatively, if you already have Discord, click Already have an account.

Next, click the + button near the top left of the Discord toolbar. This allows you to add the Midjourney server to your Discord account.

A popup will appear with several options. Click join a server for this tutorial.

Next, click don’t have an invite. This allows you to browse servers you’d like to join.

Locate Midjourney under the featured communities, then click on it.

Once logged in, you’ll be redirected to the Midjourney Discord server. As a free member, you won’t have the option to create images, but you can poke around the interface to see what all the fuss is about. You can browse other users’ artwork by visiting different rooms, such as newbies-4, to get a feel for how Midjourney works.

Step 2: Signing up for a Midjourney Subscription

To create artwork, you must sign up for a Midjourney subscription. We’ll walk you through the easiest way to do it. Near the bottom of the screen, you’ll discover a text prompt. Click within it and start typing /subscribe. This will bring up the subscription prompt, allowing you to sign up for one of Midjourney’s paid plans. Click subscribe to Midjourney, then click enter on your keyboard.

The bot will redirect you to the subscription page to choose a plan tier that meets your needs. There are three tiers: Basic, which costs $10 per month, comes with 200 generations a month, and gives you a private chat room to generate images. The next plan, the Standard, gives you 15 hours of image generation, unlimited relaxed (slow) generations, and a private chat room for $30 monthly. Finally, there’s the Pro plan, which costs $60 per month, and provides 30 hours of fast image generation, a free chatroom, and unlimited relaxed image generation at $60 per month.

The basic plan is your best option if you’re starting out. It allows you to explore the platform, generate images, and familiarize yourself with the interface and how text prompting works. If you like what you see, you can always upgrade to a higher tier simply by inputting the /subscribe prompt to bring you to your account, where you can easily upgrade.

Understanding MidJourney’s Tools and Features

When first starting out, Midjourney can be hectic. While it is a good idea to check out one of the newcomer rooms to get a feel for how things work, it can be challenging to keep up. Thousands of people are in the newbie rooms at any given time, making it difficult to see your generated images. It’s best to download and install the Discord app, where you can access private messaging with Midjourney, making viewing and altering your images much more straightforward. To download the app, click on the floating green bar at the top of your screen. Discord will sense your operating system and automatically suggest the correct app version.

Once installed, you can click the Discord icon at the top left of the app to access your private chat room.

Using private messaging provides a much less hectic interface, where you can generate images and easily see them in a private chat without the distraction of viewing other users’ photos. However, participating in group rooms is a great way to get inspiration and watch what prompts others use to generate gorgeous images.

Creating AI Art with Midjourney

Before beginning your quest to create unique AI art, there are a few basic commands to be aware of. First and foremost, any prompt must start with /. For example, when wanting to create a new image, you’d input something along these lines: /imagine a hyperrealistic image of a dog in the bed of a truck. In less than a minute, your first set of images will appear.

When your first set of images appears, you’ll notice a series of buttons underneath them. The top row of buttons is for upscaling one or more of the generated images. They are numbered U1 – U4, which are used to identify the images in the sequence. So, for instance, if you want to upscale the second image, click the U2 button in the top row.

On the right side of the first row is the regenerate button. This is an excellent tool if you aren’t satisfied with the first set of images Midjourney created for you. Click the regenerate button to ask Midjourney to try another concept based on the original prompt.

Finally, the second row of buttons is used for variations. Numbering V1 – V4, you can choose the button corresponding to the image you wish to create variations for. Once clicked, Midjourney will take that image and create variations of it.

In addition to the imagine prompt, there are a few other commands to be aware of. Here’s a list of all the basic commands within Midjourney.

Imagine Commands

If you want to control the output of your imagine prompts, you can input additional parameters behind /imagine. You can choose things like aspect ratio, level of styling, and more. For example, we input this prompt to generate an image that has an image quality of 3 and an image prompt weight of .25: /imagine cats and dogs â€“q3 â€“iw 0.25. We instructed Midjourney to create an image of cats and dogs, give it an image quality of 3, and set the image weight to .25. Image weight lets Midjourney know how closely you want your image to relate to the text prompt. A higher weight will result in images closely related to your prompt. In contrast, a lower one gives the bot more freedom to create the images.

There is also the aspect ratio command, which is useful for changing the width and height of your images. By default, Midjourney creates square images with an output resolution of 1024 x 1024 pixels. If you want to create an image that isn’t square, you’ll need to specify an aspect ratio. For example, we used this prompt to generate a photo with a 16:9 aspect ratio: a beautiful, hyperrealistic landscape with mountains in the background. A frozen lake is in the foreground, with children ice skating –ar 16:9:

Since the release of version 5, some commands no longer work. For example, you can no longer use the width (–w) or height (–h) parameters. Here’s a full list of all parameters you can use with /imagine.

Advanced Prompts

With image prompts, you can upload one of your images to use within Midjourney. You can combine them with image weight (–iw) to adjust the image’s importance in relation to the text portion of your prompt. You can also use Remix, which allows you to change your prompts, parameters, model versions, or aspect ratios. You can use remixing to change the lighting, evolve a focal point, or create cool compositions. To enable remix mode, type in /prefer remix. For example, we’ll take an upscaled image of a frozen lake with children skating and change it to penguins skating.

There are also multi prompts, which gives you the ability to define more than one concept during image generation using a double colon (::) within your prompt. For example, typing /imagine cat tails will have a very different result than /imagine cat::tails would:

Finally, permutation prompts allow you to generate variations of a single /imagine command. It works by inputting a list of options separated by a comma within curly brackets. For example, if you want to create variations of different colored flowers, you’d use something like this: /imagine a {red, orange, yellow, blue} bouquet of flowers:

Tips for Using Midjourney

Knowing a few tips is important to successfully use any AI generative software. Although a relatively new concept, AI art generators like Midjourney are becoming mainstream. Because of this, learning how to get the most out of it is important. Here are a few tips and tricks to start you on your quest for digital art creation.

Be Concise

While that might sound counterproductive, generating AI art follows the same concept as writing a good blog post. It’s always better to be descriptive but concise when constructing prompts in Midjourney. Giving it too much to go on can either overwhelm it or, at the very least, result in undesirable images.
For example, check out the differences in these prompts. The first one /imagine a photorealistic cat will produce a set of cat images, but a more specific prompt, such as /imagine a photorealistic cat with long white fur and blue eyes, will produce a more detailed output.

Use Styles and Mediums

One of the best aspects of Midjourney is its ease of use. Literally, anyone can create a prompt that produces beautiful artwork. If you want to improve your game, use styles and mediums in your prompts. For example, we uploaded images of ourselves to turn us into Victorian queens simply by telling Midjourney to imagine this woman as a 1700’s era Victorian queen. Using the descriptors Victorian and queen, Midjourney understood what we wanted. The results were interesting.

You can also have Midjourney create images based on different artistic styles. In this example, we asked it to /imagine a photo of a Goldendoodle created in the style of Leonardo da Vinci, with the following result:

Additionally, you can use mediums such as line art, sketch, oil painting, or similar to create images that have a unique artistic appearance. For example, /imagine a black-and-white line drawing of a 1968 Chevrolet Camaro:

Combine Concepts

Another thing to try is combining concepts to create interesting pieces. Rather than prompting Midjourney to create a superhero, add another theme to get more targeted results. For example, we used /imagine a Canadian superhero, which resulted in a series of images of a superhero clad in the colors of the Canadian flag:

Use Lighting for More Dynamic Output

One of the most important aspects of artistic expression is using lighting effectively. By default, Midjourney will add some lighting to the output. However, if you want to see improvement, one of the best places is to start by adding a bit of lighting to your prompt. For example, we used the following prompt to incorporate beautiful lighting effects: /imagine an image of the Eiffel Tower at midday, complete with cinematic lighting.

Examples of Midjourney AI Art With Prompts

One of the best ways to learn Midjourney is to play with it as much as possible. Use it to generate images with different styles, learn better ways to enter prompts, and gain inspiration from other AI artists. To show you the massive capabilities of Midjourney, here are a few examples of what can be achieved after a few hours of image generation.

Using Your Images

If you want to turn yourself into a member of the Royal family or just a cool superhero, try using one of your photos with Midjourney. To do this, click the plus next to the text prompt box at the bottom of your screen.

Once uploaded, click the image, then select open in browser. In the next step, you’ll need to copy the image URL to use alongside /imagine.

Next, type /imagine into the text field, then paste the URL of your uploaded image. Follow up with the image you’d like to create. In our case, we want an image of a superhero with cinematic lighting.

Midjourney will do its best to create your desired image, but remember to be specific. If you want the photos to be female, specify that. Just because you upload an image of a woman doesn’t mean you’ll receive female superheroes. For example, we used the prompt /imagine a hyperrealistic image of a female superhero. Omitting the word female might cause Midjourney to create male photos, which may or may not work for you.

Using Blending Effects

Try using the /blend command to create stunning effects.

It works much like the /imagine command, except you can upload anywhere from 2-5 images, then ask Midjourney to blend them with a text prompt. That said, ensure that both images have the same dimensions for the best results. You can even specify the aspect ratio you’d like. For example, we used the /blend command to combine a photo of a cat and dog, resulting in the image of the dog taking on the same feel as the photo of the cat.

Final Thoughts on MidJourney

No matter what type of AI art you create, Midjourney can do it. One of the best things about generating AI art is not having to be able to draw or paint to be creative. Using pre-defined tools such as blend or custom parameters for aspect ratio, styling, or image weight, you can create one-of-a-kind pieces of artwork that will blow you away.

Divi Product Highlight: Divi Footers Pack
Divi Footers Pack is a third-party plugin for Divi with over 80 custom footer designs. The footer is often an overlooked area of any WordPress website. A layout pack such as this one can ease the footer design process. In this post, we’ll take a look at Divi Footers Pack to help you decide if it’s the right Divi product for your needs.

Uploading Divi Footers Pack Layouts

The Divi Footers Pack layouts are JSON files that can be uploaded to your Divi Library. First, download and unzip the file. You’ll see 82 JSON files in your unzipped folder.
1. Download
2. Unzip
Next, go to your Divi Library and import the file you want to use. You can preview them from the product page. This is the only way to know which layout to use before uploading them. Fortunately, you can upload all of them at once if you want, or you can just upload the specific footer layout you want. I’ve selected to upload all the files in this example. To upload them, go to:
1. Divi
2. Divi Library
3. Import and Export
4. Import
5. Choose File
6. Import Divi Builder Layouts
Once they’ve uploaded, you’ll see them in your Divi Library. The layouts are now ready to use in the Divi Builder and Divi Theme Builder. Once the upload was completed, I had 162 files in my library. This includes the layouts with and without a fixed setting. The regular footers scroll with the page while the fixed footers remain in place and are revealed as the user scrolls. They’re labeled, so it’s easy to know what the variation is.

Divi Footers Pack Layouts

Here’s a look at a few of the footer layouts. I’ve selected those that stood out to me the most. I’ll describe them and point out what I like the most about them. We’ll see how they look on the front end with a Divi layout. I’ll show wireframes and the mobile view for a few of them. I’m using the landing page from the free Coworking Layout Pack for all the examples.

Divi Footers Pack Footer Design 1

Footer Design 1 is the first footer layout in the Divi Footers Pack. It displays the footer menu on the left with a copyright notice under it. On the right are social media icons. Everything is in red.

Here’s how it looks on the front end.

Footer Design 2

This is the second footer in the layout pack. It has a simple and clean layout with colors that work great together.

Footer Design 7

Footer Design 7 includes a blue gradient background and adds buttons for the app stores above the rest of the footer content. This one is still fairly small and doesn’t overwhelm the layout with too much content in a small space.

Footer Design 12

Many of the footer layouts include Code Modules to add custom styling. This is Footer Design 12. It also includes a gradient background and adds a large email form.

Footer Design 14

Footer Design 14 displays four columns with links, a menu, and a blog. This one also includes a Code Module for styling. Here’s the wireframe with the Code Module open.

Here’s how it looks on the front end. There is a lot of white space around the columns. The blog shows two posts with small thumbnails. The white background and small text give this one an elegant look and feel.

Footer Design 16

Footer Design 16 adds multiple rows in various columns. This one also includes a custom code. Here’s the wireframe.

Here’s how it looks on the front end. It adds clickable contact information at the bottom with bold colors that stand out.

Footer Design 18

Footer Design 18 adds a background image and overlay to the section. It also includes four columns with lots of extras, including a CTA button, Opening Hours, and a Gallery.

Here’s the layout on the front end. This is one of my favorites. It adds icons to the contact information, the gallery includes small thumbnails. The colors work perfectly over the background image.

Footer Design 25

Footer Design 25 is another layout with a background image. This one adds a lot of space under the links to give room for the background image to show.

Footer Design 26

Footer Design 26 uses a Specialty Section to create a multi-column layout. Here’s the wireframe.

It makes interesting use of negative space. I like the large text and colors for this one. The orange text is easy to read over the brown background.

Footer Design 30

Footer Design 30 displays contact information within large blocks with white borders. The backgrounds of the blocks match the background of the section. This one is simple and clean, providing only limited information.

Footer Design 34

Footer Design 34 uses a brown background with white text. The layout includes three columns with clickable contact information. Backgrounds for social icons stand out just enough to get attention.

Footer Design 37

Footer Design 37 includes a background image with a contact form and contact information in the foreground. This one divides the elements into segments with yellow borders around each segment. The icons, the submit button, and the background of the social media segment are yellow. The background behind the contact information is more opaque, making it stand apart from the rest of the footer’s content.

Footer Design 38

Footer Design 38 displays the content in the center of a large circle with an even darker background behind it. The centered content has enough separation that nothing gets lost in the layout. The font and icon colors work great against the dark gray background.

Footer Design 41

Footer Design 41 also uses a Specialty Section to create a layout with multiple columns. This is the wireframe view.

Here’s how it looks on the front end. It includes a dark blue/gray background with white text that stands out. The email form is small and fits the area well. The information area has a lighter background, so it stands apart from everything else.

Footer Design 43

Footer Design 43 provides a background image with a dark green overlay that stands out. The menu and address take the center and stand out from each other. The social media icons are bold gold that makes the small icons pop. I like the white text and gold icons against the green background.

Divi Footers Pack Footer Design 46

Footer Design 46 includes a two-column layout for the main portion of the footer. It includes a larger column with a contact form that blends with the footer’s design. The button, titles, and icons are in green and stand out well against the beige background, drawing attention away from everything else.

Footer Design 52

Footer Design 52 includes a dark gray background with multiple sections and columns to present the contact information and menu links. The text is white and includes large titles and small links. This one also includes icons with contact information.

Footer Design 55

Footer Design 55 is simple, and it just works. The main focus is a CTA with large text and a clickable email address. It has plenty of negative space to draw attention to the CTA. It also includes a menu and copyright notice.

Footer Design 59

Footer Design 59 includes a two-column layout with text on the left and a contact form on the right. A vertical line separates them. It includes a black background with bright blue highlights for the titles, a contact form button, and social media icons. A bottom bar with the same bright blue background displays the copyright notice.

Divi Footers Pack Footer Design 63

Footer Design 63 includes a three-column layout with two CTA buttons on the left, contact information in the center, and an email form on the right with a design that matches the CTA buttons. The buttons and email form give the footer a well-balanced symmetry. The purple and plumb colors work great against the brownish-gray background. Both the phone number and email address are clickable. All the buttons include hover effects.

Footer Design 67

Footer Design 67 has an interesting layout. The wireframe shows multiple columns, but some are intentionally not used.

On the front end, this creates elegant spacing for the footer elements. It includes a purple (technically a dark blue/magenta) background with white text. The extra-large text for the clickable phone number draws attention as a CTA.

Footer Design 69

Footer Design 69 is one of the largest footers in the Divi Footers Pack. It includes two large sections. Both have blue backgrounds and gold text. The top section displays a full-width image. This section creates a CTA. The second section includes the standard footer elements with contact information, links, and an email form. The white and gold text works perfectly with the blue backgrounds.

Footer Design 77

Footer Design 77 also includes two sections. The top section displays contact information in large boxes with clickable text and icons. Their backgrounds contain different colors, and they stand out from everything else. The bottom section includes four columns with the standard footer content in white against a blue background. Social media icons sit under the email form.

Here’s a look at how this footer works on mobile. The contact information blocks, as well as all of the footer elements, stack.

Divi Footers Pack Footer Design 81

Footer Design 81 includes a large blue background with styled contact information in the center with rounded corners. Contact information includes a two-color design with an image that overlaps the colors. The top portion shows the phone number in large text over a blue background. The bottom portion includes a white background with an email link and social media links under the image, and a contact form on the other side. I like the square border for the social icons.

Here’s how this one looks on mobile. All the columns stack. The contact form fits the width of the screen.

Where to Purchase Divi Footers Pack

Divi Footers Pack is available in the Divi Marketplace for $19. It includes unlimited website usage, one year of support and updates, and a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Ending Thoughts on Divi Footers Pack

That’s our look at Divi Footers Pack for the Divi Builder. There are a lot of pre-made footer designs in this pack. We’ve only looked at a few of the layouts in this post, but this should provide a good idea of how well they work with any Divi layout. They are easy to use, but I recommend uploading all of them at once if you want to use more than a few of the layouts. All the layouts look professional, and they have a wide range of designs to choose from.

10 Best Coming Soon WordPress Themes in 2023 (for Sites Under Construction)

A website is seldom built overnight. That’s why a coming soon page can be the perfect placeholder to greet your website’s visitors while it’s still being developed. Some coming soon WordPress themes provide other perks as well, such as enabling you to brief visitors about your upcoming brand, collect leads, and build a pre-launch buzz to increase your chances of a successful launch. In this article, we’ll first discuss why a coming soon WordPress theme is better than a blank page or static image as a placeholder. We’ll then delve into some of the best coming soon WordPress themes and highlight their key features to help you make an informed decision.

What is a WordPress Coming Soon Theme?

For the uninitiated, a WordPress coming soon theme is a page that will temporarily display while you’re working on your website. It can include elements such as your logo, an email form for lead generation, a quick blurb about your project, and even a countdown timer to your big launch. In short, think of it as a temporary one-page microsite.

While you might think a simple blank page or static image might suffice as a placeholder until your website is ready to shine, a coming soon theme affords you much more flexibility than other limited alternatives.

A good coming-soon theme will offer customizations to suit your brand’s identity and voice. It should also provide an easy way for your visitors to stay updated with your website’s progress, learn more about your brand, or contact you. Depending on the buzz you’d like to create, you may want to include bells and whistles, such as animated countdown timers and an opt-in form that integrates with your favorite email marketingÂ service.

Don’t Forget About Coming Soon Plugins and Templates

You may find that using an under construction plugin or a coming soon template from Templately might be a better solution if you are happy with your current theme. This would allow you to have a temporary coming soon page using a plugin without having to switch to a different theme.

Divi 5 May Progress Update: Previewing The Speed Of Divi 5
We are in the midst of a massive project, Divi 5, and I like to update the community every month on our progress. Last month, we dug deep into the five stages of the Divi 5 beta program to better understand how we are approaching such a big project in the most advantageous way for Divi users. We are in Phase 1, Dev Alpha, and we are getting closer to launching Dev Beta, at which point the new Divi 5 API will be solidified. We will invite more developers to join the program while we work towards the first public release later this year.

In this month’s update, we’ll talk about the updates we made to Divi 5. I’ll also show you how fast Divi 5 is, and then I’ll give you a sneak peek of our upcoming Divi AI feature! Let’s dig in.

What We Accomplished This Month

We got a lot done this month! There are many little things that we are filling in, one by one, as we inch closer to our first public release, where the UI will need to be polished and a solid set of Divi features will need to be finished. We worked on section dividers, background videos, condition options, responsive content and fixed a few bugs.

Most of our work focused on solidifying the Divi 5 API, which is what the Dev Beta versions are about. The general trend here is that we are building a foundation to make it easier for our team and the development community to create great Divi modules and features. We need to get this part right so everything else falls into place how we want it to.

We worked on unifying and simplifying Divi 5â€™s new REST API. We finished several new functions and their implementations, which aim to significantly reduce the time it takes to create a Divi module. Again, we are putting in extra work at the foundation level so that the rest of the Divi 5 project will go faster, and all the modules and features we add after Divi 5 will be developed more quickly.

We also refactored Diviâ€™s shortcode conversion method, which will play an essential role in backward compatibility.

If you are interested in the finer details, here are the most recent changelogs entries:

Divi 5.0.0-dev-alpha.4
- Fix render for background fields in the Shortcode module settings modal
- Fix shortcode module setting fields visibility with regex pattern conditions.
- Added frontend rendering of Section Dividers options.
- Fixed hover options not working properly in the visual builder and front-end for module options that have multiple selectors.
- Refactored @divi/scripts package and add tests
- Published types packages to npm in preparation for release to the public
Divi 5.0.0-dev-alpha.5
- Allow the Shortcode module to send another request when the previous request is aborted automatically.
- Render the sticky options button when the current Shortcode module is sticky.
- Render the sticky options button when the current Shortcode module is inside a sticky module.
- Removed unused default value Record<number, string | Record<string, string>> type in Shortcode module.
- Fixed incorrect Woo Shortcode module elements showing up on a single product page. Affected Shortcode modules: Woo Product Notice, Woo Product Images, Woo Add To Cart, Woo Product Stock, Woo Product Price, Woo Related Products, Woo Product Upsell, and Woo Products.
- Rename the Unsupported module into the Shortcode module along with the module slug, REST API route, label, test cases, and storybook.
- Added Background Video fields in Module Background Options.
- Refactored rendering of Background Video in Visual Builder without REST API calls.
- Added rendering of Background Video Module Options in Frontend.
- Added ScriptData to initialize Background Video in Frontend.
- Added support for Background Video Module Options in Sticky state.
- Updated visibility of Divider fields in Module Options to hide additional options if a Divider Style has not been selected.
- Updated visibility of the Divider Horizontal Repeat setting in Module Options to be hidden for Divider Style options that explicitly reject repetition.
- Updated visibility of the Divider Arrangement setting in Module Options to be hidden in Fullwidth Section settings (where only the default value “below” is allowed).
- Updated the Divider Style field preview in Module Options to reflect any horizontal and/or vertical flip currently applied to the divider.
- Updated the Divider Height field in Module Options to allow saving of percent (“%”) values in addition to the default pixel (“px”) unit.
- Updated the Divider Horizontal Repeat setting in Module Options only to accept positive number values (“1x” or higher).
- Added Conditions options foundation including initial conditions for Author, Logged In, and User Role, remaining Conditions to be added incrementally in future releases.
- Added ElementComponents component, the equivalent of <ElementStyle /> but for rendered HTML elements.
- Added elementClassnames() function, the equivalent of <ElementStyle /> but for functions that output class names.
- Fixed Font Heading Level error.
- Fixed PHP Warnings triggered in Portfolio Module.
- The proper REST permission callback has been added to all registered REST routes.
- A new RoleEditor class has been introduced to determine Divi roles, including tests for the functionality that was refactored from D4 to D5.
- The .sendRequest() features, such as automatic ET and WP nonce addition and stream response support, have been added to fetch().
- The fetch() has been completely refactored for better maintainability and scalability, allowing for the introduction of new and complex conditions and features e.g. .sendRequest()’s options.
- All REST API calls, fetch(), loggedFetch(), and .sendRequest(), have been unified, and now only loggedFetch() is used.
- Refactored conversion mechanism for modules.
Divi 5.0.0-dev-alpha.6
- Improved and streamlined REST API registration, logic, schemas, and tests. Renamed divi/ajax package to divi/rest package.
- Added InlineTextEditorContainer and InlineTextEditor components for Inline Text Editor.
- Added onBlur, onClick, onDoubleClick, onKeyDown, onKeyUp, onMouseDown, and onMouseUp handlers for the Inline Text Editor.

- Relocate Shortcode module-related code to the Shortcode Module package.
- Add font heading style renderer on the ElementStyle component.
The Speed of Divi 5

Before we wrap up todayâ€™s post, I want to discuss speed. As you may know, we arenâ€™t planning to add many, if any, new features to Divi 5. However, one of the most significant changes that will come with this new version is a massive increase in speed, especially in the Visual Builder, where we all spend so much time.

Even though the Divi 5 UI isnâ€™t finished, and the builder is missing features, I still wanted to give you a sneak peek at the difference in performance that I keep talking about. So please withhold judgment about how things look in this video, which will change, and just focus on the speed of the interactions!

You will immediately notice everything appears instantly as elements are hovered over on the page. Opening the settings popup is equally snappy, as is adjusting design settings. Itâ€™s a night and day difference across the board. Also, it doesnâ€™t matter how big and complex the page becomes. The Visual Builder can handle it, and it remains fast.

Achieving this level of speed wasnâ€™t possible in Divi 4, and itâ€™s one of the reasons that this Divi 5 re-architecture is so important.

Coming Soon: Divi AI

Thatâ€™s everything for this monthâ€™s Divi 5 update. However, I do have one more teaser for you. While almost our entire team is focused on Divi 5, we still have a small group of people working on Divi 4 features that wonâ€™t affect Divi 5 development, and right now, we are working on something very exciting.

Itâ€™s called Divi AI, and it leverages large language models to help you create content, such as text and images, for your Divi websites right inside the builder! Since itâ€™s integrated into Divi, we can teach things about the builder and your website to help it create or improve your content in a way that makes sense and feels incredibly intuitive.

Check out today’s Youtube video for a sneak peek at Divi AI.

Stay Tuned For More Updates

Thatâ€™s all for our May progress report. If you have any questions, be sure to leave a comment. Stay tuned for next month’s update, and I’ll see you in the next one!

An AI code assistant is a software tool that uses artificial intelligence to help developers write code faster and more accurately.

Integrate with popular code editors you use, like Visual Studio Code
Generate complete code snippets from prompts or code comments
Auto-complete lines of code you are writing in real-time

Why Use an AI Code Assistant?

Have you considered supercharging your coding experience with AI coding assistants? These powerful tools revolutionize productivity, enabling faster and more accurate code writing while freeing up time for creativity for the challenging solutions you are working on.

But that’s just the start. They can act as vigilant guardians, catching errors early and saving you debugging headaches. Additionally, AI code assistants elevate code quality, offering expert guidance to write efficient, maintainable, and secure code.
