Introducing The Divi Custom Fields Helper Plugin – Edit Custom Fields In The Divi 5 Builder

I'm excited to announce Divi Custom Fields Helper, a new plugin from Pee-Aye Creative

If you work with custom fields in Divi, you know how much time is spent switching between the backend and the builder. In Divi 5, that problem gets even bigger because the Divi backend editor is going away. That’s where our brand-new Divi Custom Fields Helper plugin comes in.

This powerful tool lets you view and edit custom fields right inside the Divi 5 Builder, so you never have to leave the builder to make updates. Whether your site uses Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) or the built-in WordPress custom fields (Pods and Meta Box support is in progress), everything you need is right at your fingertips.

What It Does

The Divi Custom Fields Helper delivers two powerful features that make working with custom fields in Divi 5 faster, cleaner, and more secure:

1. Edit Custom Fields Inside the Divi Builder with Role-Based Access

With Divi 5 removing their backend editor, switching to the WordPress backend just to edit custom fields can feel inconvenient. To solve this, our plugin adds a new custom panel directly inside the Divi Builder, so you can view and edit custom field values without leaving your workflow. You can also choose which user roles have access to this panel, giving you complete control over who can make changes inside the builder.

Only Compatible With Divi 5

Divi Custom Fields Helper is only compatible with Divi 5. This is because Divi 4 does not allow third-party developers to customize the builder itself. During the Divi 5 alpha, we worked closely with the Elegant Themes team for nearly a year to help make this type of integration possible, pioneering a new way for plugins to extend the Divi 5 builder.

We understand this may be disappointing for those still using Divi 4, but we encourage you to give it a try on a Divi 5 test site and see the benefits firsthand. Divi 5 continues to gain adoption, and eventually, all users will make the switch, so you’ll be ready when the time comes.

2. Restrict Access to Custom Fields in the WordPress Backend

By default, WordPress has no way to control who can see or edit custom fields. This plugin changes that with advanced role-based permissions. You can protect sensitive data, keep the admin interface clean, and hide custom fields entirely from the backend if needed. Only the roles you select will be able to view or edit them.

Real-World Benefits

The Divi Custom Fields Helper isn’t just a fancy technical tool, it’s actually a game-changer for how you and your clients work in Divi. Custom fields are powerful tools for your site, and a smart way to build with WordPress and Divi. However, without an easy way to update them, clients and site admins can get lost in the scary backend. With Divi Custom Fields Helper, editing is intuitive, visual, and accessible directly where you’re already working.

Edit Without Leaving Divi – View and update custom field values from ACF, WordPress, and others coming soon like Pods and Meta Box without exiting the builder and going to the backend.

Avoid The Scary WordPress Backend – The WordPress backend is cluttered and confusing for many clients. By hiding all custom fields from the backend editor based on user role, you can let clients edit them inside the familiar Divi Builder instead.

Stop Switching Back And Forth – Site admins and designers often switch between Divi Builder and backend to update custom fields. Managing all fields inside Divi saves time and keeps your workflow smooth.

Make It Easy For Clients To Update Content – Keep the editing experience simple for clients so they can update exactly what they need without wading through unrelated settings or confusing admin screens.

Protect Access To Sensitive Data – Restrict backend or builder field access by user role, ensuring only authorized users can view or edit important fields.

Whether you’re a freelancer streamlining your projects or an agency building client-friendly websites, these benefits make custom fields in Divi more practical and secure than ever.
