  • Divi Product Highlight: Milly Child Theme

    Milly is a third-party child theme for Divi that was designed with entrepreneurs in mind. It comes with lots of pages, layouts, and styled modules to build any type of business website and create new pages with the sections. It even adds extra features to help your shop or business stand apart. In the post, we’ll take a close look at the Milly Child Theme to help you decide if it’s the right Divi child theme for your needs.

    Installing Milly Child Theme

    First, we’ll look at how easy it is to install Milly. Installing the Milly child theme was simple. Firstly, go to Appearance > Themes and select Add New.

    1. Appearance
    2. Themes
    3. Add New

    Installing Milly Child Theme

    Secondly, with Divi activated, upload the child theme as you would any theme. Select Upload Theme, Choose File, navigate to the file, select it, and click Install Now.

    1. Upload Theme
    2. Choose File
    3. Install Now

    Thirdly, once the child theme has finished uploading, activate it.

    Fourthly, you’ll need to import the demo content. This will make your website look like the demo, but it does not include images. Instead, it shows a dummy image with the size you’ll need for that location. To import the demo content, go to Milly > Demo Import, select all the files you want to import (I recommend leaving this at the default), and Import Demo Content. It will also install and activate WooCommerce for you. WooCommerce is selected by default.

    1. Milly
    2. Demo Import
    3. Make your selections
    4. Import Demo Content

    Installing Milly Child Theme

    Fifthly, remove the demo import panel. This cleans up your dashboard so you won’t have links you no longer need.

    Installing Milly Child Theme

    Finally, the Milly child theme is ready to use. Here’s the home page after the demo content has been imported. Next, let’s take a look at what’s included.

    Milly Child Theme Pages and Layouts

    First, we’ll look at the pages and layouts. Milly includes lots of marketing templates. This includes four home pages that are built around different types of business models. It also includes an about page, a project page, a case study page, a sale page, a service landing page, resources, contact, FAQs, blog, and shop pages.

    Pages

    There are over 30 pages added to your website. They include multiple home pages, standard site pages, and lots of eCommerce pages. The home pages include a default page, one for freelancers, an eCommerce page, and one for a business agency.

    Milly Child Theme Pages and Layouts

    This is the default home page. It includes a CTA on the left and an image on the right that follows your cursor. Other sections include blurbs that show benefits, number counters, a CTA, an embedded video, a different set of blurbs with large icons, another small CTA, and a product slider. We’ll see these elements as we explore the features. It has a white color scheme with a few dark gray backgrounds.

    This is the freelancer/entrepreneur home page. This one has two CTAs on the left and a smaller image on the right. It also includes a section for a freebie, blurbs with hover effects, a testimonial slider, a project slider, and a CTA.

    Here’s the business/agency home page. Instead of a hero section with a CTA, it has blurbs with a focus on services. I’m hovering over one to show its hover effect. This home page includes a large blog section, a CTA, number counters, client logos, and a CTA with steps. It adds a section with light green for the background. This example also shows the custom icons.

    Here’s a look at the eCommerce home page. It places the hero image on the left with the CTA on the right. It also uses a large shop section to show products, benefits, a testimonial slider, and a shop CTA with two products.

    Divi Library

    There are 135 layouts added to the Divi Library. They include all the templates that are used on other pages and in the Theme Builder. They also include icons. Let’s look at a few at random. I’ll save the WooCommerce layouts for a different section.

    Milly Child Theme Pages and Layouts

    This example shows a testimonial slider. The testimonials are built as cards.

    Here’s another slider. This one shows client logos.

    This layout is a popup overlay. It’s a CTA with an image and a button.

    This layout is a promo bar. It includes a CTA to the shop. This bar is included on the shop page. On that page, it sticks to the bottom of the screen until you scroll far enough, and then it scrolls with the screen.

    Theme Builder

    There are 13 layouts in the Divi Theme Builder. These include headers and footers, the body layout for posts in full width and with a sidebar, the shop page, product pages, and a 404 page. Some are not assigned, so you get to assign the layouts you want to use.

    Milly Child Theme Pages and Layouts

    The layout for all posts includes a large, featured image that overlaps the background. It also includes previous and next articles, related posts, and an email signup form.

    Milly Child Theme Pages and Layouts

The right side stays in place until the end of the description. It also includes related products, testimonials, and shipping information.

    Here’s the 404 page. It includes a hover animation for the icon.

    Milly Child Theme Sales Funnels

    Milly includes three marketing kits: Webinar, Challenge, and List Building. They include pages to build marketing campaigns.

    The List Building Kit includes a freebie landing page, email signup confirmation, and freebie delivery. This example is from the demo page, so you can see how it looks with images.

    The Webinar Kit includes registration, confirmation, and replay. Here’s a look at its demo page.

    Milly Child Theme Header

    The header includes submenus, a CTA, and custom WooCommerce icons, including a product count for the shopping cart icon. The CTA includes a hover animation to get attention. It also includes a popup. On certain pages, such as the shop page, the header is placed under the hero section. It scrolls with the page and sticks to the top of the page when it reaches that area.

    Milly Child Theme Icons

    Over 20 of the layouts in the Divi Library are custom icons. This shows several of the custom icons. Most of the icons have a green circle in the center.

    Next, let’s look at the WooCommerce features. Milly includes several pre-styled product pages and sliders to display your products. It also includes a custom cart, account page, and checkout page. Let’s look at a few of them.

    Shop Page

    The shop page includes a hero section with a CTA. The promo bar sticks to the bottom of the screen at first.

    Scrolling reveals the header. This section includes a product slider.

    Related products are also shown with a product slider.

    This example shows the sales slider. The promo bar has now scrolled with the page.

    Cart

    The cart page includes icons with a bar to indicate where you are in the process.

    Milly Theme Options

    Finally, we’ll look at the theme options. Milly adds a tab to the Divi Theme Options. Here, you can choose and adjust several options.

    Colors

    The colors tab lets you select colors for dark elements and headings, dark elements and body text, and three different accent colors. Clicking on a color opens a color picker where you can select the color you want.

    Milly Theme Options

    Overlays

    Milly can use any section as a popup. They’re triggered by a click. Just add the CSS class to the section and the element you want your visitors to click. This means you can build a popup with the Divi Builder with any layout or custom design you want. The overlays tab includes settings for the background color, blur the background, close on click, close with the escape key, close icon, close icon color, and hide the overlays in the builder.

    Milly Theme Options

    Preloader

    The preloader tab lets you enable the preloader and choose its options. The options include animation, color, and background color.

    Milly Theme Options

    Options

    The options tab lets you enable the parallax effect and enable carousels and sliders.

  • 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

    Uploading Divi Footers Pack Layouts

    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

    Uploading Divi Footers Pack 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.

    Divi Footers Pack Layouts

    Here’s how it looks on the front end.

    Divi Footers Pack Layouts

    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.

    Divi Footers Pack Layouts

    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.

    Divi Footers Pack Layouts

    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.

    Divi Footers Pack Layouts

    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.

    Divi Footers Pack Layouts

    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.

    Divi Footers Pack Layouts

    Footer Design 16

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

    Divi Footers Pack Layouts

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

    Divi Footers Pack Layouts

    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.

    Divi Footers Pack Layouts

    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.

    Divi Footers Pack Layouts

    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.

    Divi Footers Pack Layouts

    Footer Design 26

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

    Divi Footers Pack Layouts

    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.

    Divi Footers Pack Layouts

    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.

    Divi Footers Pack Layouts

    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.

    Divi Footers Pack Layouts

    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.

    Divi Footers Pack Layouts

    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.

    Divi Footers Pack Layouts

    Footer Design 41

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

    Divi Footers Pack Layouts

    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.

    Divi Footers Pack Layouts

    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 Layouts

    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.

    Divi Footers Pack Layouts

    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.

    Divi Footers Pack Layouts

    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.

    Divi Footers Pack Layouts

    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 Layouts

    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.

    Divi Footers Pack Layouts

    Footer Design 67

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

    Divi Footers Pack Layouts

    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.

    Divi Footers Pack Layouts

    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.

    Divi Footers Pack Layouts

    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.

    Divi Footers Pack Layouts

    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 Layouts

    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.

    Divi Footers Pack Layouts

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

    Divi Footers Pack Layouts

    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.

  • Divi Product Highlight: Divi Block

    Divi Block is an online tool to mix and match premade blocks. It simplifies layout design and provides a file to upload and customize even further. In this post, we’ll look at Divi Block to see what it can do to help you decide if it’s the right Divi building tool for your needs.

    What is Divi Block

    Divi Block is an online drag-and-drop tool that lets you build layouts with close to 480 pre-designed blocks. Once you’ve created the layout, you can download it as a JSON file and upload it to any Divi website.

    Divi Block includes:

    • Header Builder
    • Layout Builder
    • Footer Builder
    • Section headings
    • Special module designs
    • Light and dark versions
    • Color schemes

    You can preview your layouts on a real Divi website.

    Divi Block Online Tool

    The Divi Block layout includes 4 areas. I’ve named them by their function:

    1. Page menu – the first menu lets you add and edit blocks, manage pages, export to Divi, see the documentation, see the support forum, zoom in and out, undo and redo, and preview the page on a live Divi website.
    2. Block menu – the second menu opens when you hover over it. It includes all the blocks you can add to your page. Clicking on one of the blocks opens a submenu with all the designs for that block.
    3. Editing area – this is the canvas where you’ll drag the blocks to and arrange them in any order you want.
    4. Color scheme – this is the color selector to change the color scheme for the layout.

    Divi Block Online Tool

    Page Menu

    The first menu controls the pages. Here, you can edit and export the page, create new pages, save your work, load a page, etc. When you save your work, it will download a file to your computer. You can load this file to pick up where you left off. You can also preview and export the layout from here.

    In the example below, I’ve clicked the Manage Pages & Export to Divi icon and selected to edit the page settings. It has opened a modal where I can enter a title and apply it to the new page.

    Page Menu

    Block Menu

    The block menu includes all of the blocks and elements you can add to the page. Hover over any element to see all the designs for that element. It includes headers, page layouts, footers, and custom modules. Many of them include features that are added without plugins. Click the element to add it to the page. In the example below, I’ve selected to see the hero headers. I clicked on the third hero header and added it to the page.

    Block Menu

    Editing Area

    When you click on any of the blocks, they’re added to the editing area. You can then edit the layout further. Hovering over a block shows a small window with some editing tools. You can move the block up or down, change it to a light or dark version of the block, and delete the block from the layout. You can’t make changes to the layouts such as colors, text, etc. Those changes will be shown in the preview and in the layout on your website.

    For this example, I’ve added three blocks: a card carousel, a page header, and a CTA. They were placed on the page in the order that I selected them.

    Editing Area

    Header Builder Examples

    In this example, I’ve moved the blocks to different locations within the layout. I’ve also changed two of the blocks. The CTA is now light, and the card carousel is now dark. The blocks moved and changed extremely fast. I didn’t have to wait to see the new layout.

    Header Builder Examples

    The header builder has 6 options that include pre-made headers, effects, sub-menus, mobile menus, mega menus, and preloaders. The effects show in the previews when you hover over them. In this example, I’m hovering over the Header and Navigation options, which include the pre-made headers. I’ve added a preloader and a mega menu to the layout.

    Header Builder Examples

    Layout Examples

    The layouts include hero sections, headers, about us pages, services, CTAs, FAQs, pricing tables, testimonials, team members, blogs, clients, galleries, numbers, processes, portfolios, email forms, contact forms, and footers. The example below shows a section heading, a hero header, and a page header.

    Header Builder Examples

    This example shows sections for About Us and Services.

    Header Builder Examples

    This example shows a CTA, an FAQ, and a pricing table.

    Here are examples of a testimonial and a team layout.

    Header Builder Examples

    This example shows a contact form.

    Header Builder Examples

    This example shows a footer.

    Header Builder Examples

    Special Module Design Examples

    The last portion of layouts includes special modules that add features without using plugins. Some of these are seen in the other layouts, but I’ll show a few of them. This one shows the before and after slider options.

    Here’s the masonry gallery.

    Special Module Design Examples

    This example shows a promo bar, dynamic background, and a content toggle.

    Special Module Design Examples

    For this example, I’ve selected a floating button and a slide-in bar.

    Special Module Design Examples

    This example shows a horizontal timeline and gradient text.

    Special Module Design Examples

    Color Scheme

    Clicking the color square in the lower right corner opens the color picker. This controls the color scheme for the elements on the page. The default is red, hex code 229, 27, 35. You can change it by moving the circle on the color area, moving the circle in the color slider, or adding the RGB values you want. When you change it, you won’t see the colors in the pre-made layouts change, but you will see them in your JSON files when you upload them and in the preview if you choose to view them.

    Here’s the layout showing the original color. I’ve changed it to blue in the color scheme tool.

    Color Scheme

    Here’s the layout on my website. It shows the blue that I chose. Next, we’ll see how to get the layout from Divi Block to your website and what you can do with it once you get it there.

    Color Scheme

    Designing a Layout with Divi Block

    I’ll use Divi Block to create a header, home page, and footer. I’ll then upload them as templates in the Divi Theme Builder.

    Header

    For the header, I’ve used a header with effects, submenu styling, and a mobile menu. I’ve used a brown color for the color scheme. I’m exporting the JSON file. It downloads as a zipped file, which I’ll unzip on my computer.

    Next, I’ll build a global header from scratch in the Divi Theme Builder.

    Where to Get Divi Block

    Where to Get Divi Block

    Divi Block is available on the publisher’s website. The free version is available for anyone to use. The Pro version of Divi Block is only available as part of their Divi.Help Pro membership. Subscribers gain access to all of their Divi-related products, including the Divi Block Pro version, premium plugins, child themes, and layout packs. The Pro membership is $49 per year.

    Ending Thoughts

    That’s our look at Divi Block. This is an interesting drag-and-drop builder. Rather than moving modules and other elements around, we’re working with full elements as pre-rendered blocks. This makes it easier to create layouts without getting bogged down with where everything should go on the page. It also simplifies full layout design because we can mix and max pre-made sections. You won’t see the custom colors while you’re working in Divi Block, but since the blocks are pre-rendered, it makes sense. We can preview it and adjust everything once the files are imported into the Divi Builder. I found Divi Block easy to use and it makes Divi layouts quickly and easily.

    We want to hear from you. Have you tried Divi Block? Let us know what you think about it in the comments.

    The Divi Den Pro – Layout Library comes with 2615 library items. This includes 1988 sections and modules, 631 layouts, 39 menus, and 18 complete website designs. All of the items are pre-styled. The layouts are labeled, tested, and optimized for different screen sizes.

    There are several ways to use them in your Divi layouts. You’ll find the layouts in the Divi Den Pro DM menu and in the Divi Theme Builder. The Divi Den Pro DM menu is the easiest way to use them. You can search them by keyword and category and import them to your Divi Library.

    Divi Den Pro DM Menu

    You’ll find a new menu item in your WordPress dashboard called Divi Den Pro DM. The menu includes lots of links, which you’ll also find as tabs within the menu itself.

    Layout Finder

    The first tab is the Layout Finder. This includes a search box with filters on the left and the results on the right. It also includes tabs so you can view all layouts, only the free layouts, or just the pro layouts. The filters show the number of layouts in that type. They’re divided into layouts, sections, modules, categories, collections, Divi Theme Builder, and Plugin Theme Builder.

    The results area shows a thumbnail of the layout. The thumbnail will scroll on hover if the layout is larger than the container. You can view the layout in another tab, save the layout to your Divi Library, or download the layout to your computer as a JSON file.

  • Divi Product Highlight: DiviCity

    DiviCity is a one-page Divi layout available in the Divi Marketplace. It has a versatile design that can be used for many different types of websites and is completely responsive and customizable. In this product highlight, we’ll take a look at the DiviCity layout and help you decide if it’s the right layout for you.

    Let’s get started!

    Installing DiviCity

    DiviCity comes as a ZIP file containing Divi Visual Builder .json files. To install the layout, start by unzipping the file. Next, open your page in the Divi Builder.

    Click the portability option at the bottom of the page and select the import tab. Then select the .json file for the DiviCity layout and begin importing the layout. Once the layout has been imported, all you need to do is replace the content with your own, and your website is complete!

    Divi Product Highlight: DiviCity Install

    DiviCity

    DiviCity consists of a one-page Divi Builder layout. It comes without any of the demo images, so I added my own for the purpose of this article. Let’s take a look at the sections that come with this layout!

    DiviCity Header Section

    The header consists of a large image with an angled divider at the bottom. The header has features subheader and header text, as well as a button. The text features a loading animation effect. Two boxes overlay the bottom of the header section. Each box contains some heading text, a divider line, body text, and a button. These boxes also have a loading animation and expand on hover. Finally, there are four blurb modules below with an icon, heading text, and body text. The blurb modules reveal one at a time as the page loads. This heading layout can be easily customized with your own photos and content to create a great-looking, engaging heading section that gives your visitors key information about your business at a glance.

    Divi Product Highlight DiviCity Heading

    DiviCity About Section

    The about section has some introduction text, a header on the left, and an image on the right. Both of these elements have a fade-in animation and move into the center. Below are three fullwidth sections that feature an image and a text block with a heading and some body text. Each of these sections have a loading animation effect as well.

    DiviCity Blog Section

    By default, the blog section features a simple recent posts module listing three recent posts with the featured image and post information. There is also some heading text and body text in this section. This section features fade-in animation.

    Alternatively, you can achieve the design featured in the layout demo by installing the free Divi Article Cards plugin. Once the plugin is installed and activated on your site, open the Divi 100 settings from the WordPress dashboard menu. Activate the article card, then click save.

    This section is also versatile and features a heading, body text, and three blurbs with an image, some text, some short description text, and a border that appears on hover.

    DiviCity review

    Final Thoughts

    DiviCity is a simple and great-looking website layout that is incredibly versatile. Because it’s built with Divi, the layout is easy and intuitive to customize for your own use. The loading animations and hover effects throughout the layout look nice and cohesive and aren’t too distracting from the page content or usability. I also like the use of large images across the design as well as the typography used in the layout. If you are looking for a simple one-page website layout for your next Divi project, this might be the right product for you.

    Packery Gallery

    The DiviFlash Packery Gallery displays your gallery in one of 10 different layouts. It resizes and rearranges the images for each layout to create different sizes and styles for the gallery.

Change the space between the images, add a load more button, choose hover effects, use a lightbox, and more.

    Post Grid

    The DiviFlash Post Grid Module works similarly to the Post Carousel in that it’s a blog card builder. It uses the same elements but displays the card in a grid or a masonry layout rather than a slider.

    Scroll Image

    The Scroll Image Module adds a scrolling effect to any image when the visitor hovers over the image. You have control over the scroll direction, alignment, size, speed, etc. Add a frame, an overlay, a badge, and a caption, and enable a lightbox.

Add a custom icon, show the rating number, enable a single rating, enable the title, add content, and enable schema. If you enable the rating number, you can show the number with or without a bracket, or show the number with or without the upper possible score. You can also choose the placement on the right or left of the icons. If you choose a single rating, it will display only one icon along with your number options.

    Table

    DiviFlash’s Table Module lets you create tables by hand. Add multiple rows and then add your content to the row in an HTML editor. It even takes HTML as input so that you can add icons and other types of content.
