This site is built with the Divi Theme which has a very straightforward and easy visual builder. Divi is a modern no-code visual drag-and-drop website builder for WordPress.  Divi is the Theme and Page Builder combo that brings simple no-code editing, advanced design systems, and powerful AI tools to WordPress.

With Divi’s Visual Builder, whenever you hover over a module, row or section in the Divi Builder, the menu bar includes a button to save the item to the library for later use. 

Overall On Divi 

  • After logging in > go to the page you want to make changes to
  • Enable Visual Builder
  • Hover over the area to make changes
  • The main key areas are images & text. Other areas are best left to the developer to make changes. Ie: Sections, Background or Header Images (Purple Bar and box), structure of each page. Sections that are slightly muted when in the Visual Builder are not visible to the public, there is an advanced feature that I have implemented. Stay away from changing other areas!
  • Hovering over area, there are three main colored bars and boxes: Blue, Green, Grey. For most things, you’ll focus on Grey Bars.
  • Upon clicking the Gear for that section, a Popup for that module will appear.
  • For each popup, you’ll see a purple bar at the top and a bar with four colored buttons at the bottom of each popup.
    • red No Save “x
    • purple “undo” last saved state button
    • blue “Redo” button for current changes
    • green “Save Changes” checkmark
    • Use the Green checkmark after the change to save your work!
  • To save and publish the page, click on the Purple circle at the bottom with the three dots > the bottom will expand showing multiple buttons.
  • The Grey bar on the left will show you Desktop, Tablet, and Mobile views
  • On the bottom right is the green “Save” button. Click on this to save the page.
  • Then on the top bar > click Exit visual builder.

Note: the navigation links will not work unless you exit the visual builder

A great keyboard shortcut for undo to use frequently is ctrl + z. Use it when you make mistakes.
