Make Divi Pop With Cool Highlights!
I’m sure you know by now that I love playing around with CSS. I have hundreds and hundreds of snippets that I use on clients sites, and gradually I am shareing them with you here on the blog. This week, I’m going to show you how to add text highlights in Divi. I have noticed these are becoming quite the trend in web design, so I wanted to show you wonderful folks how to get on board with them. I included four styles in this tutorial, but if you have more ideas please let me know.
1. Multi-Line Text With Color Background Around Each Line
The first example of text highlights in Divi is my favorite and is fairly popular on modern websites. To create a multi-line colored background highlight like this, just add a CSS class inside the module’s Advanced Tab Custom CSS input area. In this example, we are using the class “pa-multi-line-highlight.”
Note that we are using this with an H2 in this example, so just change the H2 in your snippet to whatever you need such as H1, p, span, etc. Copy and paste one of your choice into the Divi>Theme Options>Custom CSS box.
2. Text CalloutEXAMPLE!
This text callout is great for highlighitn important things in your text, such as a notice, warning, or just as a fun accent. For this one, we need to specify which word or words we want to be highlighted using <span> tags. You can add these text highlights and accents in any Divi heading or text.
WARNING!This is very important! Just kidding, but I got your attention! Do you like this? Leave a comment if you think it’s cool!
To create a callout like this, just add a CSS class inside an HTML span tag. In these examples, we are using the class “callout” and “callout-2” so that each one can have a different color or spacing. You can copy the snippet below and then change the word “EXAMPLE” which is between the opening and closing span tags.
There are two code snippets below, one for each of the examples. Copy and paste one of your choice into the Divi>Theme Options>Custom CSS box.
3. Color Highlights In Text
This text callout is great for highlighitn important things in your text, such as a notice, warning, or just as a fun accent. For this one, we need to specify which word or words we want to be highlighted using <span> tags. You can add these text highlights and accents in any Divi heading or text.
To create a color highlight like this, just add a CSS class inside an HTML span tag. In this example, we are using the class “pa-color-highlight.” You can copy the snippet below and then change the word “EXAMPLE” which is between the opening and closing span tags.
Copy and paste this code snippet into the Divi>Theme Options>Custom CSS box.
4. Highlight Around Bold Text
See what I did there? This was is pretty cool! Add the class “pa-bold-highlight” to any module that has bold text. Once you have the CSS snippet added to your page or website, the bold text will instantly have a yellow highlight color around it. Of course, you can always change the color and opacity of the highlight.
Go ahead and copy and paste the CSS snippet into the Divi>Theme Options>Custom CSS box. (I added the “h2 strong” so that you could visually see it above, but you can remove that from the snippet.)
Cool tips! So simple and good looking. Thanks Nelson 🙂
Hey Samson, glad you like these! You are welcome! 🙂
Color highlights in text!
Hi, how do I change the color on number 3 from orange to #E8ADAA?
Thank you for these tips!
Hey Robyn,
To change the color just replace rgba(255,166,60,0.75) with your color. I used an rgb color there because it is 75% opacity, but your hex color will work perfectly too!
Thank you so much! Still learning all this stuff! Happy holidays.
Cool Nelson !!!!!. Thank´s again.

You are welcome, Charles! Glad you can learn a lot here! 🙂
Hello my friend, so nice, thank you!
Unfortunately, I have a problem that I can’t see the highlights on my mobile device (I can’t see it even if reduce the chrome browser here on my computer to the smaller window.) Can you advise me what I’m doing wrong? Thank you!
Hi Peter, that’s pretty strange. Can you share the link so I can see?
