  • Introducing Divi AI: Powerful AI Tools For WordPress Creators

    Today we are excited to release Divi AI, a powerful text and image generator built inside of Divi, allowing you to create spectacular images, write fantastic content, and improve your existing website on the fly using artificial intelligence.

    Divi AI is unique, not only because it is conveniently accessible in the Visual Builder but also because it understands Divi and learns from your website, allowing it to create better content. It works like magic, blows me away every time I use it, and I think you will love it!

    The Divi AI Image Generator

    First, let’s talk about the Divi AI Image Generator, which can create unique and stunning images of all types out of thin air. We put the power of AI image generation at your fingertips right inside the Visual Builder.

    AI Image Generation

    Generating images with Divi AI is simple. You tell Divi about your image, choose a style, and let the AI get to work. Within a few seconds, Divi AI will create four unique images. If you like one, you can generate additional variations to hone in on the perfect result.

    You can create images in the style of photos, digital art, 3d animation, paintings, drawings, and more. Instead of hunting for the perfect image, you can create it quickly and without leaving the builder.

    AI Image Refinement

    You can also use AI to refine and alter existing images. When creating a new image, you have the option to supply a reference image and control the influence it will have on the final result. You can combine reference images, image descriptions, and styles to create different results.

    For example, imagine I am running a clothing boutique and have a stock image on my homepage of a woman outside on a sunny spring day. But right now, it’s wintertime, and I want to change the subject matter and the color scheme to get my website into the Christmas spirit. I’ll tell Divi AI to take this image, swap out the bouquet for a gift and switch the scene from Spring to Winter.

    AI image refinement is handy when working with premade layouts. You can easily reimagine existing images while retaining the composition and preserving the interplay between the imagery and its surrounding elements.

    For example, let’s say I am building a website for a cafe, but I like the style of this premade layout intended for beauty products. The design looks great, and I even like the images, but the subject matter is all wrong. I can take the photos of beauty products and turn them into pictures of coffee while retaining the original composition and style.

    The Divi AI Content Writer

    Divi AI can also write content with the skill of a professional content creator. We’ve taken the power of large language models like ChatGPT and Llama 2, tailored them to Divi, and integrated them into the builder.

    AI Text Generation

    You will notice a new AI button when working with content fields. Click the AI button and tell Divi what you want it to write about, and you’ll get back some fantastic results immediately. Since Divi AI is part of Divi, it knows the module and content field you’re working with. We also give it information about your website and context from the current page, which helps it generate more intuitive results.

    Divi AI can write headlines, paragraphs, or even entire blog posts.

    AI Text Refinement

    You can also use prompts to refine and improve existing content. Take any piece of content and tell Divi Ai how you would like to change it; simple as that! You can also use your mouse to select text from within the content field, and Divi AI will only alter that portion of the text.

    Easy-to-Use AI Quick Actions

    Divi AI’s content tools come with many quick actions that you can use to refine results and improve existing content. You can automatically translate to different languages, fix spelling and grammatical errors, shorten a paragraph, expand on an idea, change the tone, or tell Divi AI to improve your content automatically.

    Using Divi AI is like always having a professional copy editor at your side.

    There are quick actions for images too. You can quickly change the style of existing images or have Divi AI reimagine images automatically.

    Automatic AI Text And Image Generation

    You can even set Divi AI free to generate text and images without instruction. Since Divi AI is learning about your website and your page as you build it, it can produce great content without any guidance.

    For example, imagine I am building a website for a florist company. I am working on my homepage and have written several blurbs describing our floral services. At the moment, I am finishing up the module that defines our wedding floral services, and I need a good photo.

    If I ask Divi AI to automatically generate an image in this location, it knows all of the relevant information I just described. As expected, it returns a beautiful photo of the wedding floral arrangement I was looking for.

    If you are struggling with writer’s block and can’t come up with a good prompt for Divi AI’s text or image generator, you can tell Divi AI to come up with a good idea of its own. This free flow of ideas, text, and imagery means you can design new websites seamlessly without any roadblocks. It’s going to improve your workflow significantly.

    There’s An Art to AI Art

    AI is a tool, and there is definitely a spectrum of mastery! You can create amazing things if you know how to use it, and you can produce some strange and interesting results as well 😅. Over the next month, we’ll share tips on how to get the most out of Divi’s AI tools. Be sure to keep your eyes on the blog for helpful AI tips and tricks!

    More AI Features Are On The Way

    Divi AI is a fantastic tool, and AI is something that every website creator should be leveraging to maintain that competitive edge. With Divi AI, you can build better websites, and you can build them faster. Every Divi user can try out Divi AI for free, and you can purchase a Divi AI membership, allowing you and your team to generate unlimited text and images.

  • Introducing Divi Cloud for Theme Options (And Some Other Neat Stuff)

    I have a few small Divi features to share with you! As you may know, most of our team is working hard on Divi 5. Still, we are working on other great stuff too, including brand-new services and updates to our current services, like Divi Cloud, which isn’t affected by the Divi 5 project.

    Today, I want to share a few updates we made to the Divi Library and Divi Cloud, including improved layout importing and the ability to save Theme Options presets so that you can use them to jumpstart your new client websites.

    Expanding Divi Cloud Into New Areas

    Since the launch of Divi Cloud, we have been expanding it into new areas. Our vision for Divi Cloud is for it to be the “Dropbox of your WordPress websites,” with the ability to store all of your favorite assets in the cloud to be used on each new website you build.

    So far, we have added several asset libraries, allowing you to save Layouts (including sections, rows, and modules), Theme Builder templates and template sets, and code snippets of various types to the cloud and your local libraries. Today, we are adding a new asset to that list: Theme Option Presets.

    You may have specific Theme Option configurations that you use on client websites. You may prefer specific layout settings, have custom code added in the integration tab, and choose to disable particular performance settings, among other things.

    Now, instead of manually configuring those options, you can save presets to the cloud and use them immediately when you start a new site. When you load a Theme Option Preset, everything gets set up instantly.

    Bulk Importing For The Divi Library

    We also made some significant improvements to layout uploading. The Divi Library, including Divi Cloud, now supports bulk uploading multiple .json files at once! And not only that, but it supports uploading multiple files that have been exported in different contexts (that means you will no longer receive the “shouldn’t be imported in this context” error when importing layouts to the Divi Library).

    In the video above, you can see me uploading a layout pack from the Divi Marketplace that includes dozens of layouts, along with a few individual layouts that were exported from the Visual Builder, along with another layout pack of sections. Simply drag and drop all files into the portability modal, and Divi will take it from there!

    Automatically Split Layouts Into Reusable Sections

    Finally, we added a nifty new feature to the Divi Library that allows you to split layouts into reusable sections. It takes any layout and automatically breaks it up into sections and saves all of the sections into your library. As you build new pages, these layout parts can be pieced together to create new layout variations.

    Stay Tuned For More Updates Coming Soon

    That’s all for today’s update. We have some exciting new stuff in the pipeline, so be sure to follow and subscribe so you don’t miss my future updates. I always give a detailed look into each new feature, so if you run your websites on Divi, you don’t want to miss these posts!

  • Divi Cloud Sharing – Share And Collaborate With Your Team In The Cloud!

    Today we are excited to introduce Divi Cloud Sharing, a new system that allows you to share Divi assets with your team members and collaborate together in the cloud while you build Divi websites. This update brings together Divi, Divi Cloud and Divi Teams in a way that is perfect for WordPress freelancers and agencies.

    Before I continue; a quick side note: If you are curious about some of the even bigger updates we are working on, be sure to read my recent post about our ongoing work on Divi 5.0. We’ll soon be giving monthly updates on our progress, starting with the release of Divi 5.0 development alpha next month.

    Ok, now let’s explore today’s new feature because it’s really cool!👇

    Divi + Divi Cloud + Divi Teams: The Perfect Combo

    Divi Cloud

    In case you aren’t familiar with Divi Cloud, let me give you a quick overview. To put it simply, Divi Cloud is like Dropbox for your WordPress websites. It allows you to store your favorite Divi assets in the cloud so that you can access them on every new website you build without leaving the Divi interface. Those assets include Divi Layouts, Theme Builder Templates and Code Snippets, with many more integrations on the way.

    Divi Teams

    In case you aren’t familiar with Divi Teams, let’s explore it quickly as well. Divi Teams is a role-based team management system that allows you to invite people to become part of your Elegant Themes account. They get their own account with their own username and password. Your team members inherit access to your services, such as product downloads, premium support and Divi Cloud. Using the role editor, you control what your team members can and cannot do, enabling you to build an effective and autonomous web design team.

    👉 Start Building Your Team

    Divi Cloud Sharing

    Divi Cloud Sharing, today’s new feature, brings these two systems together and allows you to share your Divi Cloud items with your team members, and for your team members to share their items as well. Everyone can choose who gets access to their Divi Cloud library and what they are allowed to do with the items stored within it. You can allow people to manage, add and delete items, or you can limit them to use-only access, which will allow them to use your Divi Cloud items, but not edit or delete them.

    How To Share Your Divi Cloud Library

    To get started with Divi Cloud Sharing, you will first need to invite your team. Log in to your Elegant Themes account and navigate to the Team Tab, and then click the invite button to start building your team.

    In the Cloud Tab, you can view all of your team members and share your Divi Cloud library with anyone on the list. Using the available permission, you can control what each person is allowed to do within your library.

    In the example above, I have given two of my clients use-only access to my layout library. This will allow them to use all of my custom layouts, without being able to edit or delete them. It’s a nice way for me to customize the experience and add extra value to my web design package.

    I have also granted 3 of my team members full access to my library by selecting all of the available permissions. This will allow us to work together and collaborate on the same collection of assets.

    Divi Cloud Sharing Permissions

    The Divi Cloud Sharing interface comes with four permissions that can be granted to each person on your team.

    • Can Use Items – Users with this permission will be able to view and use all items in your Divi Cloud library. They won’t be able to add items to your library, nor will they be able to edit or delete any of your items. This is a great permission to give your clients if you simply want to share your assets.
    • Can Add Items – Users with this permission can add new items to your Divi Cloud library, including layouts, theme builder templates and code snippets.
    • Can Edit Items – Users with this permission will be able to edit items in your cloud. That means they can edit existing layouts, templates and code snippets. They can also rename, re-categorize, re-tag and editing your existing categories and tags as well.
    • Can Delete Items – Users with this permission can delete items from your Divi Cloud library.

    Navigating Shared Libraries Within Divi

    When using Divi Cloud on a WordPress website, you can see all of the libraries that have been shared with you inside the left hand sidebar. Clicking on a library will open it up and display all the items stored within it. Depending on the level of access granted to you by the library owner, you can add, edit, delete, and use items stored within these libraries. You can also copy and move items between different libraries using the right click menu.

    Start Sharing Today

    With the introduction of Divi Cloud Sharing, your web design team can now collaborate effectively in the cloud while they build Divi websites. That’s the beauty of Divi Cloud. You never have to leave the WordPress website you are working on. All of our shared assets are available within the Divi interface!

    You can maintain shared libraries with your favorite layouts, templates and code snippets. You can also share layout collections with your clients as a way to add more value to your web design package.

    Divi Cloud Sharing is available today, so update Divi and let us know what you think in the comments. Stay tuned for more great Divi features coming soon, and don’t forget to follow and subscribe so that you can be the first to know when our next Divi feature is released. I always give a detailed look into each feature and it’s a great way to get up to speed before you update your website. If you are running your websites on Divi, these are updates you really don’t want to miss!

  • Introducing Divi Code Snippets! Save Your Favorite Code Snippets And Sync Them To The Cloud

    Today we are excited to introduce Divi Code Snippets, a new way to save and manage your most commonly-used code snippets, and to access them whenever you need them right inside the Divi interface. You can save your favorite HTML & Javascript, CSS and collections of CSS parameters and rules, so that they can be easily used within the Divi code editors. That includes in the code editors found in the Divi Theme Options, Divi Builder Page Settings, Code Modules, Text Modules and the CSS options found within all Divi modules. This new code library is integrated with Divi Cloud, which means all of your favorite snippets can be synced to the cloud which will make them instantly accessible on each new website you build. If you are a Divi Cloud customer, your team members also get unlimited Divi Cloud storage for free, which means everyone can save unlimited code snippets to the cloud!

    Watch the complete video overview 👇

    Using The Code Snippets Library

    Whenever you are using a code editor in Divi, you will notice some new icons at the top of the interface. You can use them to save code to your library, add code from your library, or import and export code to and from the code editor. It works like just the Divi Layouts Library and the recently-added Divi Theme Builder Library.

    Saving Code To Your Library

    If you want to save a snippet to your library, click the Save To Library icon to save all of the code currently in the code editor. Or, use your mouse to select the specific code within the editor that you would like to save, and then click the Save To Library icon to save only the code you have selected. You can also toggle the Save To Divi Cloud option to sync the snippet to the cloud.

    Adding Code From Your Library

    To add code from your library, click the plus icon to view all of your saved code snippets. You can use, organize, edit, delete, duplicate, and import and export snippets from your library within this popup. As you can see, the code snippet I just saved is now available in my library, synced to the cloud, and it will be waiting for me here the next time I want to use it.

    Editing And Managing Code In Your Library

    All of your code snippets can be managed within the library popup. Click the triple dot icon to edit, rename, tag, categorize, duplicate or delete a code snippet.

    Building Your Code Snippets Collection

    The Divi Code Snippets library is useful in many situations. If you search Google for “divi code snippets,” you will find all kinds of snippets that designers commonly use to customize the appearance and functionality of Divi, whether that be via a Child Theme or Divi’s code options. Here are just a few resources I found:

    Now, you can save those snippets, organize them in your library and sync them to the cloud. Each time you start a new website, your favorite snippets will be waiting for you!

    You might have some CSS rules that you commonly apply to Divi Modules using their CSS fields. You might have completely custom elements built using the code module, including custom HTML, JavaScript and CSS. You might have JavaScript hacks or CSS tweaks that you commonly paste into the Divi Theme Options. Your entire Child Theme’s CSS could even be saved as a code snippet, instead of as a child theme. And the best part is that you can organize all of these elements inside of Divi, and manage your code library in a much more intuitive way.

    Get Started With Divi Code Snippets

    The Divi Code Snippets library is available today, so update Divi and let us know what you think in the comments. Stay tuned for more great Divi features coming soon, and don’t forget to follow and subscribe so that you can be the first to know when our next Divi feature is released. I always give a detailed look into each feature and it’s a great way to get up to speed before you update your website. If you are running your websites on Divi, these are posts you really don’t want to miss.

  • Introducing Divi Teams! Invite Your Team And Give Them Access To Your Divi Services.

    Today we are excited to introduce Divi Teams, a new foundation that we will continue to build upon to improve collaboration and efficiency for Divi agencies and freelancers. Divi Teams allows you to invite people to be a part of your Elegant Themes account, and to control the permissions granted to each. You can give your team members access to your products and services such as Divi and our other themes and plugins (including the ability to generate and manage API Keys), Premium Support, and Divi Cloud so that your entire team can function effectively while building websites for your clients.

    Each of your team members get their own account with their own username and password, along with the ability to manage the parts of their account (or the accounts of their fellow team members) that you give them access to.

    As we continue to release new products and features, Divi Teams will play an ever-increasingly productive role in the way you build and manage Divi websites.

    Collaborate With Your Team

    Your team members inherit the full benefits of your Elegant Themes account, including premium support, Divi Cloud storage, the ability to create and manage API Keys, and access to downloads, all for a fraction of the cost of a normal membership. This allows teams to work together and properly delegate tasks without the account owning serving as a bottleneck. Your designers can access Divi and use Divi Cloud. Your developers can set up new websites and generate API keys. Your accountant can access billing records. Furthermore, everyone can contact our support team and access our support services. Note that support for products in the Divi Marketplace is still limited to the main account owner since support in the marketplace isn’t provided by our team.

    Get Unlimited Divi Cloud Storage For All Team Members At No Additional Cost

    For those who have purchased unlimited Divi Cloud storage, Divi Teams is a great feature and an incredible value. Each of your team members get their own Divi Cloud library authenticated with their own username and password. They also get unlimited cloud storage at no additional cost beyond the small price of their team seat. Instead of paying $185 per year to give someone their own Elegant Themes account and unlimited Divi Cloud storage, you can simply add them as a team member for as little as $1.50 per month. Plus, all your billing is consolidated into one account for easier management.

    Divi Teams Sharing Coming Soon

    Soon, you will be able to share Divi Cloud items amongst your team and control what your team members can do with each or your Divi Cloud libraries. You could even share custom layouts with clients as a way to provide extra value with your website package. So stay tuned for our Divi Cloud sharing update coming very soon!

    Let Us Help Your Clients For You

    Divi Teams can also be used for your clients as a way to grant them access to our support services. If you want to allow your clients to be more self-sufficient, inviting them to your team under the Client role is a great way to give them more freedom as part of your normal maintenance package. You can give your clients a better experience without having to pay full price for an additional membership, and you get to pass those savings on to them.

    You as the account owner, along with anyone on your team with the appropriate permissions, can manage client accounts and their API Keys.

    How To Use The Divi Teams Management System

    Let’s take a closer look at how Divi Teams works. You will notice a new Team tab in your Elegant Themes account. Here you can see how many team seats you have available and a list of your active team members along with their roles and account statuses. Account owners, or team members with the appropriate permission, can use this portal to manage your team.

    Purchasing Team Seats

    Teams seats are very inexpensive. We wanted to make the cost associated with on-boarding new team members as affordable as possible while still subsidizing the cost associated with support, cloud storage and bandwidth. You can add team seats for $2 per month, or as little as $1.50 per month if you switch to a yearly billing cycle. It’s easy to add or remove seats at any time.

    If you purchase team seats today, you can take advantage of our introductory pricing and get an even biggest discount. Get up to 40% off and purchase team seats for as little as $1.08. Purchase seats today and lock in 40% savings for life!

    Inviting Members To Your Team

    You, or anyone on your team with the team management permission, can invite new people to your team. Invitees will receive an email with instructions on how to confirm their account and join your team. Within the team table, you can see a list of all team members along with their account statuses. “Active” members have accepted their invite. “Pending” members are still pending activation. If a member is pending, team managers can choose to re-send their invite email or revoke their invitation.

    Managing Members And Their Roles

    Clicking the settings icon next to any team member will give you an overview of their account. You can view their account information, such as their name, email address and a list of their API Keys. You can also see a clear list of their permissions, along with an option to change their role.

    Understanding Your Team Roles

    Divi Teams comes with five default roles that cover most use cases, including:

    • Administrator – Administrators have all permissions enabled. They can do everything that you can do as the account owner. In addition to being able to manager their own account and access Divi services, they have the ability to view and manage the API Keys of all other team members and the ability add, remove and edit team members and team roles.
    • Manager – Managers have access to all Divi services. In addition, they have permission to manage your team. They can add new members, remove members, manage members and edit roles. They can also view and manage the API keys of all members on the team.
    • Designer – Designers can access all Divi services, giving them the ability to download Divi, create API keys and access support. They can view all team members, but they cannot manage team members or roles. They can manage and view the API keys for the entire team, but they cannot manage the API keys of the account owner.
    • Accountant – Accountants have access to all Divi services. In addition, they can access your billing tab, allowing them to view your invoices and billing details.
    • Client – Clients can access all Divi services. They can download Divi and our other products. They can use Divi Cloud. They can view and manage their API keys and contact our support team. Unlike other team members, they do not have access to the Team tab nor can they view or manage the API keys of other team members.

    Adding New Roles With Custom Permissions

    The default roles are available for your convenience, but you are not limited to these presets. Using the role editor, you can create your own roles with your own sets of permissions. Click the Edit User Roles button and then click Add New Role to create a custom role.

    Divi Cloud Team Overview

    If you open the Divi Cloud tab, you can see a list of your team members and the status of their Divi Cloud accounts, including how many items they have stored and whether or not they have exceeded their free storage limit. In the future, this will also serve as an interface to allow for Divi Cloud sharing between team members!

    Start Building Your Divi Team Today

    You can start building your team today. Head over to the Team Tab in the members area to purchase team seats, invite team members and manage their permissions. If you sign up today, you can take advantage of our introductory pricing and get up to 40% off your Divi Teams subscription!
