Family News
The month of February always seems to be our slow month, with not much happening outside the home. We enjoyed many days together as a family, doing indoor things with the girls like Play-Doh, LEGOs, crafts, and games, and a few sunny days sat the park playground. We also got more snow in February, which is always fun! Each year we celebrate “I love you day” with Tashia’s family, and the sisters enjoyed making flower arrangements her dad bought for them. They also made donuts, a common there here in southern Pennsylvania for “Fasnacht Day.” I also got to do an ebike video review on my personal YouTube channel in exchange for keeping the bike, and we were able to gift that to a friend who just lost a baby, who always waned an ebike, and that was really special. Potty-training is in full swing here, and going great! We finished the month by taking some meals to some of our many pregnant friends. I wanted to plan a trip to see the total solar eclipse in April, but the prices for lodging are 10x higher than normal, phew!
Divi News
Elegant Themes released several bug fixes in February, versions 4.24.1 and 4.24.2. Nick Roach also shared a progress update on Divi 5.0, which is mostly about the bugs they fixed, but some exciting information about how things like presets and global colors will be handled better in the future. Divi 5.0 Dev Beta versions 12 and 13 were released during February, which have the new interface enabled by default.
New Tutorials In February
We released a new Divi tutorial every week as usual for a total of 4 during the month of February. These are always written blog posts and YouTube videos.

15 More Networks Added To Divi Social Sharing Buttons Maker
The Divi Social Sharing Buttons Maker already has incredible design, layout, and sharing options which make this plugin so popular. Since the plugin is mature in that way, we decided to do a development sprint to add as many new social networks as possible. You can see the new ones in our version 2.3 release post and video.
Try Our new WP Inbox For Free!
Just last month, we released WP Inbox, our brand-new WordPress plugin. WP Inbox is a unique and meets a specific need for ecommerce stores, membership sites, course sites, and more. It takes the data from WordPress and displays it in your inbox when you are communicating with that user! Pretty cool, huh?
Behind The Scenes
I am trying something new this month by adding a “behind the scenes” section to the newsletter.
This year, I am focussing majorly on improvements to existing things. This includes our brand, website, products, and membership. We are working a website and brand facelift, new ways to view our resources, and at least 6 new membership perks! We have so many fun and helpful things planned, but I can’t reveal them yet. Keep watching for our monthly newsletter, and if you are a member, you will get notified about the new perks when they release.
I also have been busy getting our website ready for the BETA launch of WP SiteLauncher! If you have not singed up for the waiting list for more info, please be sure to do that here: https://wpsitelauncher.com/
Hey Nelson, don’t miss the chance to see a total eclipse – I wouldn’t bother to cross the road for a partial eclipse – in fact I forgot to go outside the last time we had one here. But we flew all the way from the UK to watch the last total eclipse in Helen, Georgia and it was well worth the trip. I wasn’t the only one welling up at the awesomeness of it. x
Thanks John, I’m glad to hear you say that. We do want to see it, it is going to be really good, and 3 minutes and 15 seconds long. We wanted to go to Erie, Pennsylvania, but the hotels and AirBnBs went up like crazy for those dates, like form $150/night to $1,200/night. We’ll figure something out, it is at 3 PM so we could drive in and back out.
