Below is a list of all the custom settings found within the Divi Search Helper plugin. For your convenience, we have listed all the custom settings with their label and descriptive help text for quick reference. Note that additional standard Divi module settings are also included in the module, but are not listed here.
This unique settings list also works as a roadmap and a changelog! Be sure to check the version numbers next to each setting. Items with a green number are already available, and items with a pink number are new features in development or planned and coming soon! As we begin working on new features, we always update the settings list, so be sure to check back often to see what is planned.
Green Version Number = Already In Current Version
Red Version Number = Coming Soon In Future Updates
