Hello friends, we hope 2024 has been a great year for you—fulfilling, productive, and creative. That’s why we’re here, after all. Our mission is to make working with Divi and WordPress easier with helpful resources and plugins.Â
It has been a long year, and we have been working tirelessly throughout the year to make our website, our products, our docs, our support, and our demos better and better and better. It’s hard to believe what we accomplished this year! Let’s take a look at some of the highlights.
2024 Highlights
Website Brand Refresh
At the start of the year, we refreshed our website branding to enhance its appeal. We refined our primary bright and dark green colors and incorporated various shades of gray. We also introduced a broader palette of colors, which has improved our overall site design. Most likely this will continue to evolve.
(46) New Written Tutorials
For the past five years, we have consistently created tutorials for Divi every week. This dedication has resulted in a vast collection of hundreds of Divi tutorials, which are viewed by millions of people each year! It’s truly incredible and deeply rewarding to receive your gratitude day after day, making our efforts feel worthwhile. Although we have recently adjusted our pace to preserve our well-being, we remain committed to publishing new tutorials as frequently as we can, especially with the release of Divi 5 and as we develop new Trial Guides (see below).
(46) New Video Tutorials
We always include a video tutorial alongside all of our written tutorials. This offers you the option to choose your preferred learning method, and they complement each other, especially when the tutorial has code snippets or other notes and visuals. Our YouTube channel is continually growing, and if you use Divi, we encourage you to check it out and consider subscribing!
Introduced Freelancer Directory
We frequently receive requests for recommendations regarding website services, and we’re excited to share that we have finally created a solution! We’ve created a freelancer directory specifically for members of the Divi Adventure Club to showcase their skills, making it easier for you to connect with the right person. We hope this arrangement benefits everyone involved! If you need an expert to assist with your website, be sure to check out our exclusive directory of skilled freelancers who are members of the Divi Adventure Club. You’ll find specialists in various fields, complete with testimonials and convenient ways to contact them directly for your next project.
(10) New Member Perks
This year, we have introduced ten new perks for our popular all-access Divi Adventure Club Membership, as well as for our new Divi Trail Committee Membership. These new perks are available now for existing members, and you can access them or learn more about them from your account dashboard.Â
The new features include:

- Bookmarking posts to save them for later
- Highlighted and prioritized comments on blog posts
- Exclusive discounts on our other WordPress products
- Double affiliate commission ratesÂ
You can join either of the memberships today to take advantage of these exclusive features and offers.
Introduced Divi Trail Guides
We have created a new format for learning, complementing our existing and future blog posts and videos. Our trail guides function like courses, organized into a series of related blog posts and videos. Each trail guide includes a description of the destination you will reach, a progress bar, and a series of linked steps to guide you along the way. I sincerely hope you enjoy this new learning experience and find the guides valuable!
Introduced Divi Trail Committee Membership
Our Divi Adventure Club membership has gained popularity, and this year we introduced a new option that allows us to crowdfund additional resources for the Divi community. Our tutorials, videos, and resources have already made a significant impact on millions of people. To maintain our commitment to producing the best Divi content online, we rely on your support. By joining our Divi Trail Committee membership, you’ll gain access to exclusive features and discounts while helping us enhance our offerings.
Introduced WP Inbox
This year, we released WP Inbox, a new WordPress plugin and Chrome extension. WP Inbox is a WordPress plugin that organizes and syncs data from your website and displays contextual information about the person in the sidebar of your inbox app while viewing or replying to messages from your customers, students, subscribers, and members. There is nothing else like this on the market. If you have an ecommerce store or membership site, this product is for you!Â
Introduced WP SiteLauncher
We spent the past few years working on a secret project, and we are so excited it is not available! This innovative and unique system brings everything related to collaboration, tasks, gathering content, communication, feedback, approvals, maintenance, training, support, and more directly to where it matters most: your WordPress website!
No more juggling multiple tools or platforms—WP SiteLauncher simplifies everything so you can focus on building and maintaining an amazing website.
(117) New Divi Plugin Updates
In 2024, we released 117 updates across our 13 Divi plugins. These updates include new features, improved functionalities, and crucial bug fixes, all designed to enhance user experience. We’re dedicated to continually refining our plugins based on user feedback and the needs of modern web design. Thank you for your ongoing support!

New Admin Sandbox Demo
We are excited to introduce a new way for you to experience our Pee-Aye Creative plugins before making a purchase. With our admin demo sandbox feature, you can set up and configure our plugins in a temporary WordPress installation, just like you would on a real site. This allows you to explore all the features, make adjustments, and determine if the plugin meets your website’s needs—entirely risk-free. To get started, simply visit the product page of any of our plugins and click the “Access Admin Demo” button.
New Frontend Demo Site
We have been working on consolidating all of our product demos onto a single site. This will reduce administrative efforts for us and make it easier for you to test how our plugins interact with each other, as well as explore multiple plugins at once. The main motivation for creating a new demo site was to include an admin sandbox demo. This means we can set up one site with all our plugins, allowing you to view both the frontend and backend of the same plugins, which is quite exciting! Additionally, we have included a button to access the admin demo while you are viewing the frontend demo.
Introduced Merch
We are excited to introduce our new merchandise inspired by Divi and web design! It has been a fun experience to blend my passion for design and humor into these shirts.
2025 Plans
I’m not typically one to set very specific plans, but I do have some expectations and goals for 2025 that I’d like to share:
- Continue publishing Divi tutorials as blog posts and videos.
- Complete the rebuilding process and release Divi 5 compatible versions of all our plugins.
- Continue releasing new features and improvements for existing Divi plugins.
- Launch at least two or three exciting new Divi plugins.
- Completely revamp our product pages with feature graphics and improved feature examples and descriptions.
- Consider adding a Solutions Finder tool.
- Explore the possibility of adding a job posting feature for the freelance directory.
- Introduce new member perks as we think of them.
- Create new trail guides for additional topics.
- Release several major updates for WP Inbox, including support for new inboxes.
