New Features In Divi Responsive Helper For Divi 5
Divi 5 completely changes how responsive editing works, and if you’ve been using it at all, you’ve probably already noticed that it’s not just an upgrade, it’s a different way of working. Being able to customize breakpoints and edit content per breakpoint is powerful, but it also introduces a level of risk that simply didn’t exist before. We covered that in detail in our recent post about responsive editing in Divi 5, and the main takeaway is pretty simple. It’s now very easy to make changes that only apply to one breakpoint without realizing it, and those mistakes are not always obvious until much later.
That shift is exactly why we’ve been focusing so heavily on our Divi Responsive Helper plugin for Divi 5. These are not recycled features from Divi 4, and they are not just convenience tweaks. Most of what we’ve added directly solves problems that only exist because of how Divi 5 now behaves. The goal is not to change how Divi works, but to make it safer, clearer, and much more efficient to use in real-world projects.

Prevent Accidental Inline Content Editing Per Breakpoint
One of the biggest changes in Divi 5 is that text and images can now be edited separately for each breakpoint. That sounds great in theory, but in practice, it creates a very common problem. You go in to fix a typo or update a piece of content, and without realizing it, you are only editing the current breakpoint. Everything looks fine until you switch views later and notice that something is now inconsistent.
Instead of trying to work around that mentally, Divi Responsive Helper gives you control over where inline content editing is even allowed. You can disable it at specific breakpoints so your default workflow stays consistent, and breakpoint-specific edits occur only when you intentionally allow them.
Instantly See When Content Differs Across Breakpoints
This is one of the most important additions because it addresses something Divi 5 simply does not show you. Once content can differ at different breakpoints, you need a way to know when that has actually happened. Otherwise, you are relying on memory or manually checking each view.
Divi Responsive Helper adds a responsive indicator badge directly within the module settings whenever the content differs from the desktop view. When you interact with it, you can see exactly which fields are different and how they vary across breakpoints. This turns what used to be guesswork into something you can immediately see and understand.
Hide Or Disable Responsive Editor Fields Per Breakpoint
Once you start using the Responsive Editor more, another issue becomes obvious pretty quickly. Every breakpoint field is always visible, even when you have no intention of editing those values. That adds clutter and increases the chances of clicking into the wrong field, especially when multiple fields look identical.
With Divi Responsive Helper, you can decide how those fields behave instead of accepting the default. You can keep them visible, gray them out so they are clearly not editable, or remove them entirely from view. That alone makes the editor feel much more focused and reduces unnecessary friction.
Make Breakpoint Switching More Intentional
Switching between breakpoints in Divi 5 is fast, but it is also easy to accidentally switch or lose track of where you are, especially when moving quickly through a layout. The small icon-based controls do not provide much context, and that becomes more noticeable the more you use them.
We added a couple of simple but very effective improvements here. You can replace the icons with a labeled dropdown that clearly shows the current breakpoint, or keep the icons and highlight the active one with the builder’s accent color. Either approach makes the current state much more obvious, reducing mistakes and helping you stay oriented.
Improve Clarity And Context In The Responsive Editor
The Responsive Editor leans heavily on icons, and while that keeps things compact, it does not always make things clear. When you are looking at multiple responsive fields with the same labels, it is easy to lose track of which breakpoint you are actually editing.
We focused on making that context more obvious by adding clear labels, highlighting the active breakpoint, and reinforcing which state is currently in use. It is one of those changes that feels small at first, but once you have it, the default experience starts to feel unclear by comparison.
Disable Hover State Content Editing
Another behavior that catches people off guard is the ability to edit content while viewing the hover state. Those changes are applied directly to the front end, but there is not always a clear indication that you are working in that context.
That makes it very easy to introduce unintended hover-specific content changes. With Divi Responsive Helper, you can disable hover state content editing entirely or control how those fields behave, so you are not making changes you did not mean to make.
Set Default Responsive Breakpoint Values And Availability
Divi 5 already lets you customize breakpoint values, which is a big improvement, but doing so repeatedly across different sites is not ideal. It is easy to end up with slightly different setups from project to project.
Divi Responsive Helper lets you define those defaults once and reuse them, including which breakpoints are enabled from the start. Being able to import and export those settings makes it much easier to stay consistent, especially when working across multiple builds.
Automatically Scale Text Across All Screen Sizes
Typography is one of the areas where responsive design can become repetitive very quickly. Setting font sizes across multiple breakpoints takes time, and it is easy to end up with values that feel slightly off between sizes.
Fluid typography simplifies that by letting you define a minimum and maximum size and letting the text scale naturally between those values. It removes a lot of manual work and produces a smoother result without needing constant adjustments. Simply enable the setting, and all your text will automatically be set consistently; there’s no need to painstakingly add values to every module in every heading and body text field.
