Family News
We started off June with a family bike ride with our friends on the York Heritage Rail Trail, followed by a picnic. Then we had a delightful camping trip with my parents, my siblings’ families, and other friends. I guess we had so much fun we forgot to get a family photo! From playing in the creek, volleyball, campfires, and bike rides, to chalk painting and swings, it was a fun-filled weekend as always. It had recently rained, so kayaking was the best ever, with multiple soaking waves. We did a Joyride run on June 14 (we are Ryan Trahan and Joyride candy fans). We had a super hot week here, so we purchased a water slide, and it has been an absolute hit with the girls, and let’s just say Tashia and I are sore all over haha.Â
Divi News
There have not been any updates to Divi 4 in the past six months.
Elegant Themes releases frequent updates for the Divi 5 Public Alpha. They have also been releasing many new features in Divi 5. The new features this month are:
Previous new features include Custom Breakpoints, Option Group Presets, Advanced Units, Design Variables, Nested Rows, Module Groups, Attribute Management, and Settings Search and Filtering. They have also provided sneak peeks at Flexbox Layouts and the Loop Builder.

Product News
Here is all the product news for this month!Â
Divi Plugins
In June, we continued working on converting our plugins to Divi 5. Many are now available for beta testing. Have you tried them yet? If so, we’d love to hear how it’s going! If you encounter any bugs, please report them using the form on each plugin documentation. We have a dedicated “Divi 5 Compatibility” page in each plugin’s doc to keep you updated and report bugs during our Divi 5 beta testing.
We are very excited about the new features planned for each plugin and plan to start releasing them soon after completing the Divi 5 work. We have a backlog, and we will deliver it as quickly as possible once we get past this hurdle.
FYI: Make Divi Accessible With Divi Assistant
Accessibility is a hot topic lately, and this is a reminder that our Divi Assistant automatically fixes all known accessibility issues in Divi 4 AND Divi 5. It is very simple to use. You just enable the settings, and you’re done. No hassle with confusing settings and technical features like other plugins. Â
SurelyWP Addons For SureCart
Exciting developments are happening with our SurelyWP addons for SureCart, including a huge update to our Toolkit for SureCart addon, along with many more updates on the way. You can expect new features for our Discounts plugin, Toolkit, Support Portal, and Services soon!
WP SiteLauncher
Something incredibly exciting is happening with our WP SiteLauncher product, featuring a new parent brand and upcoming sister products. I’m eager to share the news, but first, I need to address some behind-the-scenes changes. I can almost guarantee this will affect every WordPress user. That’s a huge claim, so stick around and see why I think this will be so revolutionary.Â
Until then, we’re busy releasing new updates, including major new features launched this month like breadcrumbs for navigation, fully customizable and white-labeled email templates, a new link to manage notification preferences in emails, a new “mentions” tab in notifications, support and sync for new post types for pages, a “current page” badge for quick reference, and 52 other improvements and fixes. You can view the release notes to stay up to date.
WP Inbox Connect
Huge news for WP Inbox Connect! Right now, I am personally testing our new Outlook inbox integration! Many of you were waiting on that, and I’m so excited to announce it is soon here! If you are using Outlook on the web, and want to beta test this, let me know and I can share the files with you before we release it.
Behind The Scenes
Divi 5 Progress: ready To Beta Test!
CALLING ALL BETA TESTERS! We are pleased to announce that many of our plugins are available for beta testing with Divi 5! Please be sure to check the new “Divi 5 Compatibility” doc in each plugin documentation area. This is where we will continually update details and share the status and notes about that particular plugin.
Divi 5 Compatibility Guides:
- Divi Assistant
- Divi Contact Form Helper
- Divi Events Calendar
- Divi Taxonomy Helper
- Divi Social Sharing Buttons Maker
- Divi Dynamic Helper
- Divi Responsive Helper
- Divi Table Of Contents Maker
These all have a beta version available to test with Divi 5, but please check the notes in each plugin’s docs before testing.
You can also check our dedicated Divi 5 page for general status updates and links to each of those individual plugin docs.
As I said before, we are still waiting on Elegant Themes for several key things before we can move forward with any official and final releases. This is also holding us up from releasing our completed new plugin for Divi 5. I really hope to get it released this month!
