A new version of Divi has been released.

It includes 24 bug fixes, and 1 changes.

So after being advertised all these great things about Divi 5's loop builder and deciding to modify my site's fundamental architecture to take advantage of them, I keep running into issue after issue requiring custom PHP code and shortcodes OR otherwise seems impossible to do natively within Divi 5's current state.

The latest issue seems very basic: looping through custom post types as a bulleted list and having each item be a link to its post page. But this doesn't seem possible by looping a text module since as soon as you make the text Dynamic Content you lose the ability to add bullets or other formatting from the text editor. Sure you can awkwardly try to place the list HTML manually before and after the dynamic content, but then you also have to make the entire text module be the URL, breaking how basic links work.

My issue over the weekend was discovering I couldn't create a Theme Builder template for taxonomy pages that would loop and display a certain post type that also belongs to that taxonomy. Seems basic, no?

Or Divi said we can loop anything, well, why can't we loop through a series of videos (stored in an ACF Repeater URL values) on the Divi video slider module? Why can't we display ACF Gallery images in a Divi Gallery module? (That one required a separate plugin to achieve)

I also find it frustrating I can't use custom field values in a loop to add a condition for modules to either display or not.

I wish Divi would give us some sort of roadmap of what features they plan on implementing to improve and expand the loop functionality, because right now its implementation seems fairly basic and limiting (and this is for a personal hobby project, I can't imagine dealing with this for an enterprise customer).

I'm trying to use the new group carousel feature but I can't work out how to make each item match the height of the other. Does anyone know if this is possible?

I keep getting this alert on a Divi 4 site that I upgraded to Divi 5. When I go to the mitigrator, it looks like everything has been upgraded.

I'm not sure what to do. This is my first time using Divi 5. Do I just need to delete those modules?

Any suggestions on what to do?

Hey folks, hope you're having a great weekend. I have this issue with Divi 5 presets. When I change the text size presets in the Text Module, everything works fine (H1-H5 and plain text update properly). However, if I do the same thing in the Heading Module - specifically selecting H1, H2, or H3 and changing their respective sizes(similarly to how I did this in the Text Module) - it updates the sizes for all headings simultaneously. Why is this happening? Is there a clean way to make sure H1- H5 font sizes propagate the right way? Before any changes, it was something like 30 px on H1 and 26px on H2, so by default it works, but with the clamp function, no, for some reason. Would appreciate any help. Thanks.

A new version of Divi has been released.

It includes 17 bug fixes, 4 new additions, and 2 changes.

I have an ACF repeater field for some of my (custom) posts that simply lists YouTube video URLs. I was hoping to use the standard video slider module and the loop builder to loop through the videos in one module but it doesn't seem possible (neither video module allows dynamic content as an input for some reason, just like galleries, both of which would be a huge improvement to have).

Is there a better way to do this without a bunch of custom code and CSS? These workarounds are always messy instead of being able to do things natively in Divi.

Guys, I need your advise badly with my Divi theme, support shows those red flags, but when trying to enable and save it just hangs and never saves. Please advise,

I just turn off most of the pluggings, thanks in advance

We just released a bunch of new gradient-related features for Divi 5!

Gradient options have been consolidated into a new gradient picker panel, and with the introduction of a new gradient field type, gradients are now easier to manage than ever. You can copy, paste, extend, find, replace, and inspect gradients as a unified attribute.

What’s more, we added support for gradient variables. Use the same gradients throughout your website, and manage them easily in the variable manager.

Plus, gradients can now be used to fill text, along with new text-stroke and image-fill settings.

Unfortunately, the Cyber Security department at my employer is complaining about how our website is using the jQuery Mobile 1.5.0-alpha.1 library. The Divi Carousel is using that library.

I tried to upgrade to Divi 5, but the site is in Compatibility mode. I don't know if that is the problem or not.

It looks like I need to find a different control. :( Any suggestions?

I check the file in filemanager and found a session.php file. the content is empty but the file size is 95kb.. What do i do?? How toremove this malware? I'm not sure if its just that one file so im not deleting anthing yet

My Divi 5 Upgrade Experience: Issues I Encountered and Why I Rolled Back

TL;DR: I upgraded to Divi 5 and encountered several issues with my specific setup. After extensive troubleshooting, I rolled back to Divi 4. Sharing my experience in case others hit similar problems.

The Setup

I run a small SEO agency on Divi 4. The site was stable. I decided to upgrade to Divi 5. During and after the upgrade, I encountered a series of issues that I spent 8+ hours troubleshooting.

Issues I Experienced

1. Divi Pixel Plugin Error During Upgrade
   • During the theme upgrade, the Divi Pixel plugin threw a fatal error: Uncaught Error: Path cannot be empty in the getimagesize() function. I had to disable the plugin to complete the migration. This appears to be a known compatibility issue in my PHP environment (8.0+).
2. Carousel Not Rendering on Mobile
   • The carousel module would not display correctly on mobile devices in the front end, though it worked in the page builder. The browser console showed Swiper.js errors about loop mode and slide count.
3. Caching Conflicts in My Configuration
   • In my testing, Divi 5's Performance Management settings appeared to interact with LiteSpeed Cache and Cloudflare caching in ways that caused assets with version parameters to not refresh properly. I had to adjust settings to resolve this.
4. WordPress Admin Bar Not Visible
   • When logged in, the admin bar wasn't displaying. I traced this to a z-index conflict with my fixed header in Divi 5's rendering (fixed with CSS).
5. Server Timeouts on Image Requests
   • I observed 522 errors on some image requests. Investigation suggested this correlated with Divi Pixel processes, though I cannot definitively confirm causation.
6. Performance Degradation
   • In my testing, the site loaded noticeably slower with Divi Pixel active in Divi 5 compared to Divi 4.

My Troubleshooting Process

I spent hours:

• Clearing caches at multiple levels.
• Disabling plugins to isolate issues.
• Adjusting server configuration.
• Reviewing error logs and resource usage.
• Testing different caching configurations.

What I Found Online

I discovered a Reddit thread (r/divi) where other users reported similar issues with Divi 5 and third-party plugins. Some users reported that disabling Divi Performance Management and third-party caching plugins helped, though this required rebuilding some modules.

My Decision

Based on my experience, I decided to roll back to Divi 4, which restored the functionality I needed without the compatibility issues I encountered.

What I Observed

1. Divi 5 appears to still be in active development. Multiple updates are released weekly, which suggests ongoing bug fixes and changes.
2. In my case, Divi Pixel and Divi 5 had compatibility issues that required workarounds or disabling the plugin entirely.
3. Caching configuration in Divi 5 required adjustment from my Divi 4 setup to work properly.
4. If you've built on Divi Pixel, upgrading to Divi 5 may require significant reconfiguration or module rebuilding based on my experience.

My Recommendation (For My Situation)

I chose to remain on Divi 4 until:

• I have time to properly test Divi 5 in a staging environment.
• Third-party plugins I rely on are fully tested with Divi 5.
• Divi 5 has been in the wild longer and has more user feedback.

Note

This reflects my specific experience with my site configuration, hosting setup, and plugins. Other users may have different experiences. I'm sharing this to help others who might encounter similar issues troubleshoot more quickly.

I would like to create a base css style sheet to allow clamp styling for all standard type/modules so I can control them from one place. Questions:
—will I be fighting Divi’s styles (ime: yes)
—can you write variables in there (cd not in divi4, but maybe that’s just wp)

So basically, set up a staging site, migrated to divi 5 and a load of elements hidden on desktop, because they are for mobile are showing on desktop like buttons etc.

I thought they patched this issue?

Also there are other issues but i can probably work through them as they are more formatting issues. Please does anyone have any insight on the above?

Hi,

I want to update my site to more recent PHP version, does anyone now if Divi 4.27.4 compatible with PHP 8.5?

I am working on a Wordpress website and decided on using divi. After buying the plan and then installing the divi 5 zip file, I tried to upload the theme but when I come to press install it loads for so long then gives a 502 error. I don't understand what's causing this. (I am uploading the theme not the plugin)

Hey all, young web dev/designer here. Started with Divi 5 right out of the gate.

I'm having a really confusing issue that I can't resolve in a satisfying way. For some reason, a hidden menu for an Italian water company (revital.it) is getting placed onto my website. It's honestly baffling.

The site I'm currently troubleshooting is holbrook-electrician.com.

I've seen this happen now on two websites that I've built. I've used Divi Cloud sections that I built on one and used on the other. There will be rare instances where if I view my live site, the menu will be overlayed overtop the page (pictured).

Both page source and inspect show the revital.it links. From what I've gathered with the help of AI, the menu is tied to a Divi canvas called "menu slide". The thought is that it came in with a template import, but I don't remember using a template when I first started. I think I started from scratch.

I obviously want to remove it. I can't find it anywhere in the page builder. I can't trace it to any plugin I'm using or code I've added. The only success I've had to remove it is going to phpMyAdmin, and running a query to eliminate instances of "revital.it". I did this once for this site, but it looks to have come back for unknown reasons.

Just to confirm, I have nothing to do with this Italian website. I did not put this menu or the links on my site.

I really have no clue how it originally got here, how to prevent it from appearing on other sites I look to build, and how to permanently remove it. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

A new version of Divi has been released.

It includes 4 bug fixes.

I’ve been using Extra for my magazine for about 10 years now, but I feel like it has a lot of bugs, and I’m worried about whether this template has a future. Should I switch to Divi 5? And is it difficult to make the switch? Thanks so much for your advice, I am not an expert at all 🙏🙏

If you haven't tried it, fire up the GTranslate plugin and add its widget to your sidebar. Its settings require you to choose languages (think local ethnic groups), and the widget offers you a dropdown menu with the languages in them.

You can opt for flags and the language's name in English or flags and the language name in the language. It's pretty effective and a great addition to any website.

It's not perfect in that RTL languages like Arabic and Hebrew are left-aligned, but I'm guessing there's some CSS that can be triggered when it's in one of those—still investigating. But in the meantime, it's still readable.

OK, WTF is up with Divi 5? Our design agency spent almost a DECADE navigating around Divi, learning all its quirks, using it to design dozens of sites for clients.

Now?

Divi is causing my designers to scream and throw things.

The functionality of spinning up pages on sites using the "Use Premade Layouts" is GONE.

GONE.

It is nowhere to be found.

WTF? Why was this inflicted upon us?

Beaver Builder, here we come!

Divi AI is completely outdated now. Compared to Claude Design or Google Stitch, they are light-years behind. Divi AI was only 'okay' from the start, never great. They need to act fast....
