Family News
We had our first midwife appointment and heard the baby’s heartbeat. Abrielle enjoyed going to VBS again this year. We wanted to test the new minivan, so we went on a somewhat spontaneous road trip and enjoyed the Richmond, Raleigh, and Durham areas. We mixed museums, playgrounds, water, botanical gardens, and even a movie in a massive dome (Science Museum of Virginia) and thoroughly enjoyed the best playground ever at Taylor Farm Park (city planners, please take note!). We also enjoyed Downtown Cary Park after dark with the lights, and the unique water play features at Gibson Play Plaza. The highlight was the Museum of Life and Science in Durham (photo of mini train ride there). Every county should have a place like that! We enjoyed visiting some new friends from church on their farm, where we helped feed the turkeys, pet the goats, and move the chickens. My brother is in the process of moving to Maine after a year of volunteer service there. They came home for a visit, and we enjoyed having our entire family together. The month ended with helping a friend move and starting school.
Divi News
In August, Elegant Themes introduced 6 new modules and fixed over 100 bugs. If you want to learn more about these updates, I recommend checking out their blog posts below:
- Divi 5.10 Release Notes
- Loop Filter Modules
- Charts, Gravity Forms, Imagely & Payment Button
- Divi 5.11 Release Notes
Now you can search and filter loop builder items on the page with their new Post Filter module. There’s also a new Tooltip module for showing content on hover. They also added a Charts module to display data visually, a Gravity Forms module for embedding and styling forms, an Imagely module for integrating galleries, and a Payment Button module for PayPal and Stripe payments.

Product News
Here is all the product news for this month!Â
Divi Carousel Maker 3.0 – Now Compatible With Divi 5!
I’m excited to share that our popular Divi Carousel Maker plugin is now fully compatible with Divi 5! This long-anticipated update means you can now use our custom event modules with Divi 5!
New Features In Divi Assistant
We’ve made the Styles Helper better for setting global font styles in Divi Assistant. Now, when you choose a value for a larger breakpoint, it automatically applies to smaller ones. For example, if you set Desktop to 30, Tablet will use that too. If you then set Tablet to 24px, that value will carry over to Phone. This matches how Divi works.
We’re also working on some new features that I am so excited to share, so look out for our next blog post and video on this soon. One of the things I can’t help but tease…we’re adding a way to show where your global Divi Library layouts are used! What else do you want to see?
New Features In Divi Contact Form Helper
We have been quietly adding improvements to the Divi Contact Form Helper, often too many to list, but here’s a glance at some of the bigger things:
- Secure attachment delivery with encrypted, expiring download links for large email attachments, plus new controls for file size limits and link expiration
- New email tags for adding secure download links to any email
- New webhook filters and JSON support
- Cloudflare Turnstile Invisible mode, along with new CAPTCHA layout controls
- A refreshed Entries experience with filtering, form grouping, quick actions, easier navigation, and unread entry notifications
- New safeguards and tools for duplicate Contact Form IDs and conflicting SMTP plugins
- Smarter file uploads, including searchable allowed file types, improved attachment handling, and automatic recovery from expired security checks
- Continued improvements to multi-step forms, conditional logic, email delivery, security, and performance
And that’s just a glimpse of the new features, improvements, and refinements we’ve been adding recently as we continue to make Divi Contact Form Helper even better!
New Customer Insights Feature
In August, we released a big update to our Insights for SureCart add-on. This allows you to view insights about a single customer, such as lifetime value, orders, average order value, total subscriptions, active subscriptions, refunded amount, refunded orders, first order date, last order date, and average items per order.
Behind The Scenes
New Support Form!
A few of you have already realized this, but we completely trashed our old support form and made a new one! It’s very visual, simple, and easy. I’ll share a blog post and video of this soon. I also need to make the new form responsive, so please don’t check on mobile yet:)
Ongoing Performance And Security Audits
We are continuing an extremely intensive performance and security audit of each of our Pee-Aye Creative Divi plugins. We have always maintained an extremely high internal standard for code quality and have never had any performance issues, but we are taking steps to make even the smallest improvements to ensure our plugins are 100% optimized. I will get a blog post published with the results as soon as it’s ready.
Members, A Reminder About Your Profile
