What’s New In Divi Responsive Helper Version 1.2
A Huge User Experience Improvement
I am very excited to announce that a new update is now available for our popular Divi Responsive Helper plugin. This update includes a dramatic improvement to the user experience and adds two new features. If you already purchased this plugin or are still considering doing so, we hope you can clearly see the value this plugin brings and will continue to bring as we add even more new features.
We have updated the changelog in our documentation area, but this post and video is the best place to see what’s new in detail.
▶️ Please watch the video above to get all the exciting details! 👆
#1. Major Improvement
Relocated Preview Size Settings
Our plugin evolved faster than we planned, and before we knew it we were adding features inside the builder where we didn’t really want them. The way it worked, we were showing our Preview Size settings when the responsive tabs for Desktop, Tablet, and Phone were opened. We never liked them being there, and from the beginning planned to move them out of the builder to a better location. And that finally happened, and I think you will will be happy with this decision!
We moved both the Presets and the Custom Value settings out of the sections/rows/modules and down to the page settings next to the responsive icons. This felt like the best place to put them. Like before, you can enable one or both of these features from the Theme Options settings page.
Learn more about these features in our Preview Size Documenation.
#2. New Features
Column Number
This is a new feature that allows you to select the number of columns you want side-by-side on tablet and phone! So let’s say you want two columns next to each other on mobile insead of the default one — easy peasy!
We added this featured under our Column Stacking tab in the Theme Options settings. Inside that tab we renamed the Column Stacking terminology to a more appropiate “Column Order” and then added “Number of Columns” below it. The settings for both of these appear in the Row settings in the Advanced tab.
Once this is enabled in the Theme Options, a new setting appears in the Row settings to choose the number of columns on Tablet and Phone.
Learn more about this new feature in our Column Stacking Documenation.
Customize The Preset Sizes
Another feature we added is the ability to set your own custom preset sizes for the Preview Size! Before this you had to use the preset sizes that we set, but now you can change those in the Theme Options. You can choose three preset sizes for each device, so 3 for Desktop, 3 for Tablet, and 3 for Phone.
Learn more about this feature in our Preview Size Documenation.
#3. Fixes
WooCommerce Settings Conflict
We noticed the Widow Fixer settings were conflicting with some WooCommerce settings, which was keeping the autofills from showing up like when adding related products or similar input areas.
Extra Theme Support
We almost forgot about Extra (and I think Elegant Themes did too). This was a super easy fix, we just had to change something to make the extra tab show up in Theme Options for the plugin settings.

Hy,
I was looking for a plugin like this considering it for breakpoints as divi breakpoints are not as other builder provides like elementor or webflow etc. But then I found out that this plugin only shows previews not breakpoints where I can change the values as I like to be and backed out to purchase this plugin. You know in some situation when you are using big letters you need to look for more breakpoints so that layout does not break at any point. I wish you could add breakpoints to this plugin.

I think breakpoints are much, much less of a need than people think. We can’t add breakpoints, or we would literally “break” Divi, so that’s impossible unfortunately. Again, what you described is what our plugin helps you to do, by changing the preview size, you can adjust the font size to a perfect average for Desktop, Tablet, and Phone.
Hi Nelson, what a great job man! This is really a big step forward in designer responsive websites! Love it and use it all the time when developing me websites but also to review older ones. Keep up the good work!

I am happy to be able to simply decide the number of columns for the mobile version .. an incredible lack of eleganttheme.
