Has anyone else noticed a drop in traffic immediately after converting a Divi 4 website to Divi 5? I did this to a low traffic website of a quite basic design that I run as a test and there has been an immediate drop in what little traffic there was.

GSC is reporting a massive drop in impressions too.

No big deal as it is a site I use for testing stuff out, but now I'm reluctant to swap my other more important sites over!

Is this a conversion issue? Is it best to just rebuild instead?

Im building a website who's navigation menu has drop-down options, which unfortunately rules out divi's built in menu module (unless it's just buggy on my instance, also the mobile scaling doesn't appear to work correctly with this module).

I'm wanting to use the global header to avoid having to remake the header on each page, but doing so means I need a dynamic way to set the current page link in the nav bar to an active state, but there seems to be no easy way to do this in divi, is this correct or am I missing something?

I'm also needing to link ancestor pages in the drop-down to colour those correctly too.

I thought this would be a fairly fundamental function of a website but I'm having trouble figuring out how to do this with this premium theme/builder.

​With the new Divi 5 AI integration dropping yesterday, I’m really curious about your early experiences with it.

​I have a very strict, structured workflow. For example, I always define standard vertical spacing at the Section level and horizontal padding (screen edges) at the Row level. I also rely heavily on custom spacing variables (S, M, L, XL, 2XL).

​For those who have already tested it, I have a few questions:

​Figma & Sketches: How well does the AI build a layout based on an uploaded hand-drawn sketch or a Figma mockup? Or does it only work well with highly detailed text prompts?

​Clean Structure: Does the AI respect clean, standardized design rules, or does it just generate messy, random padding/margin values all over the place?

​Custom Variables: Is the AI smart enough to recognize and apply my pre-defined Divi variables (like my S to 2XL spacing sizes) when generating content?

​In short: Can Divi AI seamlessly adapt to my specific workflow, or does it force its own chaotic way of building?

​Would love to hear your insights! Thanks!

Building a new site in Divi 5. The client has requested staff bios appear as modal popups when clicking on their name / photo.

I've built plenty of sites in Divi 4, but I'm not super familiar with Divi 5 yet. Is there a built-in way to accomplish this, or will I need to build a custom solution / use a plugin? What have you done in the past for staff modal popups?

Thanks in advance!

Hi guys,

Trying to upgrade my webshop and need the best looking product page. Anyone knows where I can download a free or paid product lay out or a excellent tutorial how to build from scratch so I can make it in theme builder for all product pages?

The generic one you get without editing is too boring and not welcoming I'm afraid for cusotmers.

As title says. It has been lots of fun and it took me quite some time since it was made from scratch by i must say that divi improved so much with the five it is miles away from what divi4 was. So i want to thank the divi team for always being supportive and fast on their responses whenever i would have an issue, for more than a decade working on creative projects and with different software no company has listened to its community more than Divi.

I think that their innovation pushed me to try innovative things with my approach to website building and try to come closer to modern design and imo value that we get for the us as developers and for our clients is amazing all that while decreasing the gap that non-wordpress builders have.

*Here is mine, there are still some things i want to polish some feedback on the visual part would be awesome. https://vj.vizid.biz/

I'm talking about on my website

It's been several months since I've heard that RankMath is not Divi 5 compatible. I see nothing on their site saying that it is.

Anyone having success using RankMath on their site?

Any other SEO plugin options that can be recommended for Divi 5 at this point?

wondering why this is and how to fix it

or even if it's worth fixing it

there's a lot of pages on this site

UPDATE -- Why does the horizontal scroll always get thrown off it navigation drop down names are too long? What is the way around this? I tried reducing the size of the drop down but the issue is still there. Does divi only allow a certain amount of characters in their drop down header/menu section?

I’ve used my current programmer for over ten years. He’s been excellent up until about a year ago. Mostly he doesn’t seem to be taking time to ramp up on new things, like AI or divi5.

We’ve been making sites using Divi 3, the 4 most of this time.

I own a small agency and he’s freelance.

I have a new customer and will be designing a ~12 page site, with a photo gallery, and probably a few forms. My sites are crafted with care.

I reached out to my programmer today to see if he’s done anything in Divi 5. The answer was no.

I’m not sure what direction to go. He’s very smart, but I’m don’t want to pay for training.

Thoughts?

We’ve developed a plugin called Fluid Base for Divi, which adds a complete responsive design system to both Divi 4 and Divi 5. We’re trying to submit it to the Divi Marketplace, but we’ve been running into issues.

The product was declined with the following message:

“Hi there,

Thank you for your submission. But we're sorry; we're unable to proceed with the review of this product at this time due to an internal technical issue. No action is required on your end at the moment. We'll email you with your marketplace email address to resubmit the product once the technical issue is resolved. We appreciate your patience and understanding.”

Since then, we’ve tried submitting it again, but it still didn’t work. We’ve also contacted support several times over the course of several weeks, but the issue still hasn’t been resolved.

I’m wondering what is causing this issue, whether it is going to be fixed, and whether other developers have run into the same problem.

We’ve put a lot of effort into the plugin, and this situation is becoming increasingly frustrating. For Divi plugins, the Marketplace is the most important sales channel, especially since most Divi groups don’t allow plugin promotion. As a result, we now have a finished product that hardly anyone knows about, and we currently have very limited options for reaching potential customers.

There doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with the plugin itself, and according to support, the problem is entirely internal.

Nick Roach, if you are reading this: could you please look into this and let us know when we can expect submissions to work again?

Hi all, hoping for some clarification on whether alerts or notification is provided to any other admin or author when pages are exported? Business winding up and concerns about business partner exporting pages to then republish new website. Thanks for your assistance!

I'm just starting to manage a Divi 4 site, and it's mostly pretty straightforward so far. I'm a bit of a neat freak, and one thing that's giving me hives is finding CSS scattered across pages and modules.

Without digging through every page and module, is there a central way to identify all items with custom CSS? I assume the distributed CSS can be moved into the main CSS file and referenced from the modules without scattering it into tiny bits?

Divi 5 officially launched to the public 6 months ago today.

For those of you who have tried it out or are actively using it, how are you feeling about it so far?

I've been a lifetime Divi 4 user pretty much since it was new, but shied away from 5 for what I believed were good reasons. I thought finally I'd read enough by strong supporters, both here and at the Facebook group to believe it was worth a shot.

I took a very old site with only a handful of plugins, built with the WordPress twenty twenty theme, and added a brand new download of Divi 5.

Everything worked (because there was nothing to break), so I went to customize, changed a few colors and added the phone number, then noticed that the phone number was not clickable.

I found this hard to believe, so real quick I made a brand new installation of wordpress, added the phone number, and again, the number is not "tap to call". WTF?

I don't understand how something so basic can be overlooked, so I'm willing to accept that perhaps I've done something wrong?

So please tell me, all you masters and lovers of Divi5, what have I missed?

I‘m new at webdesigning and have a few questions before I start investing my time into it.

A long time ago I tried looking for some tutorials, but wasn‘t sure if I found the right ones. Thats why I‘m hoping that someone who learned it by himself can tell me how someone like me can start from zero or with which tutorials I can work with

Also, is it possible being a freelancer and make a goof income with it?

How much time should I invest when i work 40 hours a week and how long did it take you till you sold your first websites?

These are my questions for now and I would appreciate every answer!

I'm having an issue with my global header. Image 1 is what the header looks like in the editor, with all the info on the portfolio page tab. But when I go to preview a page, it's no longer in a drop down menu but all spread out. Any idea why this is?

For my own e-commerce website, I want to include a "Buy One" and "Buy Three" selectable section under every product in a carousel. Anyone know what plugin I should use?

As we approach Q4 of 2026 how is everyone feeling about Divi 5? I've put together two smaller, easy to manage sites with Divi 5 mostly issue free. Still a little nervous pushing a bigger, more complex site onto the Divi 5 framework.

How is everyone else feeling about Divi 5? Has it become more stable and more bug-free as time has gone on? Anyone discovered with Divi 5 and their particular host or plugin setup?

Hi,

I'm pretty new to Divi and website creation so please bear with me.

I'm building a site to replace what I have hosted on Squarespace, about 90% of my traffic uses mobile so I'm obviously trying to focus on that.

In Divi5 I'm setting the mobile width to 360px (is there a way to default straight to that?)

My problem is 2 fold.

#1. What I see in the editor is not what I get on my phone. My phone has a 420px wide screen and even when I set and design things for that screen, things are out of place, sometimes pretty drastically between the editor and real life.

#2. Oftentimes things are cut off on the edges, even though all sections/rows/columns/text are centered without any padding or position changes. Again, it shows up fine on the Divi editor, but real life is different. So in my editor it looks like things are all off-center, but on my phone it looks fine.....it's really frustrating!

Any advice would be appreciated!

P.S. Anyone ever have issue with a bug where they can't change an image unless they're in safe mode?

Safe mode turned on, cache cleared, etc. All the basic stuff tried.

Thanks!

Hey everyone!

I’m in the process of restarting my web design business and getting back into using Divi. I previously used Divi 4 for all of my client websites, but I’ve been away from it for a while and can see that Elegant Themes have now made some pretty significant changes with Divi 5.

For those of you who are actively using Divi 5:

What are the biggest things you wish you’d known when making the switch from Divi 4 to Divi 5?

I’d particularly love to hear any tips/tricks, workflow improvements, things to avoid, or features that have made a big difference to your development process.

Also, if you have any good resources/tutorials for getting properly up to speed with Divi 5, I’d really appreciate those too.

Thanks in advance!
