Welcome To Divi Assistant

Top Bar

The bar at the top of the plugin user interface is for anything related to Divi Assistant plugin itself, such as enabling more “helper” addons, resetting the settings, importing and exporting the settings, suggesting a new feature, learning about us, viewing the changelog, adding your license key, and getting support.

Left Sidebar Tabs

The left sidebar is where you can access all the features and settings. Each of these tabs are individual helpers which you can enable or disable. When you click on a helper, sub-tabs are revealed with the settings on the right.

Sub-tabs

Each of the helper tabs have sub-tabs which are used to categorize the settings and features for easy access. The sub-tabs are revealed when you click the main helper tab. The number of sub-tabs will vary based on how many categories of settings and features are within each helper.

Settings Area

The main content area to the right of the tabs is where all the settings and tools are displayed. You can easily navigate through the tabs to find the setting or feature needed. The settings are very familiar to Divi users, with toggles, dropdowns, and input fields that look and feel like Divi.

Add Divi Quick Links To Admin Bar

The settings for the Divi theme are located under the Divi submenu in the WordPress dashboard sidebar menu. Often it would be nice to jump directly to the Theme Options to adjust a setting, quickly access the Theme Builder templates, or update a layout in the Divi Library. But these links are not very conveniently located, and from the frontend it requires several extra clicks to access them. Enabling this setting will add the Divi menu items to the WordPress admin bar so they can be easily accessed from anywhere.

Show Environment Badge In Admin Bar

When working in WordPress, you may have different environments for one site such as production (live), staging or development. Each of these environments are for different purposes, but they look exactly the same! This can lead to accidental changes and errors on the wrong site, which can have crucial impacts. To help solve this problem, this setting provides a visual reminder that is always visible in the WordPress admin bar to offer website administrators the visual reminder of where exactly they are working. This simple feature reduces the risk of errors and enhancing workflow efficiency, especially when managing multiple sites or collaborating with a team. Enabling this setting will add a new badge with colored dot and text in the top right side of the WordPress admin bar to indicate the current WordPress environment. Each badge will appear automatically based on the current environment. You can adjust the name and color for each environment with the provided settings.

Override The Default Environment

Some hosting providers do not properly set the WordPress environment in the wp-config.php file. This means our setting cannot provide the badge indicator, since the source code is not available. In this situation, you may choose an option from this dropdown setting to manually set the environment. Just keep in mind if you migrate the site or move environments, you would need to update this setting accordingly.

Remove “Howdy” From Before user Name In Admin Bar

WordPress includes the greeting “Howdy” by default before the logged-in user’s name in the right side of the admin bar at the top of your site. However, some users may not like this, especially for clients. Enabling this setting will remove the word “Howdy” from before the user name for all users in the WordPress admin bar.

Hide Admin Bar

WordPress has an admin bar across the top of the site which shows when a user is logged into the site. But sometimes, this is not needed and it can take up extra space, especially when working inside the Divi Visual Builder. These settings allow you to choose the visibility behavior of the admin bar, whether you want it to hide everywhere or only hide in the Divi Visual Builder, and whether you want to show it again on hover.

Enable Classic Editor Per Post Type

Divi provides a setting in Divi>Theme Options>Builder to enable the classic editor instead of the Gutenberg/block editor. However, this setting applies across the site for all post types, which is not ideal, because some post types require the block editor, and some require the classic editor. These settings allow you to choose which builder to use for each post type on your site.

Enable Divi Builder By Default For new Pages/Posts

Whenever you add a new page or post, it loads by default with the WordPress editor with a purple Use The Divi Builder button. But this requires clicking the button every time you add a new page or post. If you want to avoid the WordPress editor and always use the Divi Builder, you can enable these settings per post type to automatically activate the Divi Builder when adding new posts and pages.

Please use this feature carefully while keeping in mind that you may not want the Divi Builder to be enabled automatically for all post types. If you are using the classic editor or Gutenberg editor on any post type along with a Divi Theme Builder template, please make sure you do not enable the setting for that post type.

Duplicate Posts And Pages

When working in Divi and WordPress, it can often save time creating new posts and pages by duplicating an existing one. This feature is not available by default, so we have added this incredibly convenient feature to our plugin to help speed up your workflow. Enabling this setting will add a new option to duplicate the page or post to a new draft when hovering over the item in the list in the All Pages and All Posts screens, or by hovering over the Edit Page or Edit Post button in the admin toolbar and clicking the Duplicate As Draft option.

Hide WordPress Editor Buttons

When you edit a page in the backend editing screen, there are two buttons that show – use the Divi/Visual Builder or use the Default/WordPress Editor. This can be very confusing, and also very scary because your client (or yourself) could accidentally click the wrong button and destroy the page. If the WordPress editor button is clicked after building with Divi, the entire page design layout will be lost instantly forever. Or if the page is new, it can be confusing which button to click. To solve these serious issues, you can enable this setting to remove all of the WordPress editor buttons. When this is enabled, the only option you will see is to always edit with the Divi Builder, and you will never need to worry about accidentally clicking the wrong button again!

Disable WordPress Fullscreen Editor And Keep Left Sidebar Menu Visible

When you edit or add a new page or post in WordPress, the familiar left sidebar menu is hidden and the Gutenberg editor area becomes fullwidth. But since you are using Divi, you don’t need or want this to happen. It also shows an introduction to Gutenberg modal the first time editing/adding a page or post, which is quite annoying. When this setting is enabled, you will not see the welcome modal, the editor will not become fullscreen, and the left sidebar menu will remain visible.

Add Shortcut Link To Open Pages/Posts In Visual Builder

When you are in the backend of your WordPress dashboard and want to go to a page or post to work in the Divi Visual Builder, it can take many extra clicks. First you need to go to the list of all the pages or posts, then click edit, wait for the backend editor to load, then click the Build On The Front End button. This setting reduces the clicks by adding a shortcut link to each item in the list of pages or posts to open the front end Visual Builder directly.

Completely Disable Comments

WordPress comes with a full commenting system for users to leave comments on posts or pages. However, if your website does not have a blog or does not require users to leave comments, then there is no need to have these features enabled or visible. Enabling this setting will completely disable the WordPress comments and discussion feature globally on your site.

Duplicate Divi Library Items

Sometimes users want to duplicate a layout, section, row, or module in the Divi Library, but there is no easy or quick way to do this by default. Enabling this setting will add a new option when hovering over each item in the Divi Library list to duplicate the item instantly.

Add Link To Export Divi Library Layouts With One Click

If you want to only export one individual layout from the Divi Library, it requires many extra clicks and there is no easy way to do it. It requires clicking the export button, selecting the checkbox for the item you want to export, selecting the checkbox to only export selected items, typing the file name, and then clicking the export button. Now you can do this with one click! Enabling this setting will add a new option when hovering over each item in the Divi Library list to export the individual layout instantly.

Use Divi Library Layouts As Widgets

You may want to use a Divi module, row, or section as a widget to appear in the Divi Sidebar module or the default Divi sidebar area. This is not possible by default, but enabling this setting will add the ability to show Divi Library layouts in widgets in Appearance>Widgets.

Use Divi Library Layouts Anywhere With Shortcodes

If you want to nest a Divi module, row, or section inside of another module, you can do it easily with this feature! Enabling this setting will add a unique shortcode next to each layout in the Divi Library which you can click to copy. Then simply add the shortcode into a textarea inside any Divi module.

Hide Projects Post Type

The Divi Theme comes with a default WordPress post type called “Projects” used in the Divi Portfolio modules. These are not needed on every site, so if you are not using it, simply enable this setting and the Projects post type will not show.

Rename Projects Post Type

If your website requires another WordPress post type besides Posts and Pages, but the default WordPress post type “Projects” that comes with Divi is not the best name for your needs, you can rename it and still use it. The settings below allow you to write your own labels and slugs which will change the Projects post type into whatever name you want. Keep in mind this post type can be used with the Divi Portfolio modules.

Show Theme Builder Templates As CPTs In Menu

Sometimes there is a very serious issue with the Divi Theme Builder that causes the templates to go missing. This can be scary, but don’t worry! This setting is here to save the day! Enabling this setting will show the Divi Theme Builder header, body, and footer templates as custom post types (CPT) in the WordPress admin menu on the left. This allows you to view and restore all the templates from the database on your site, even if they are missing from the Divi Theme Builder area. There is no need to keep this setting enabled, as you would only need to enable it temporarily if you encounter the issue.

Use The Escape Key To Enable/Exit The Divi Builder

If you enjoy using keyboard shortcuts, then this handy feature is for you! With this setting enabled you can enable or exit the Visual Builder from the frontend by simply clicking the ESC key on your keyboard!

Hide Premade Layouts

Divi provides a large collection of free premade layouts which can be imported into your page very easily form the Visual Builder settings. However, there are several reasons why you may want to hide these, especially from your clients. There is no option to handle this in Divi, but thankfully now you can disable the premade layouts easily. Enabling this setting will completely hide the Premade Layouts tab from the Load From Library screen.

Completely Disable Divi AI

Everyone has mixed opinions about AI in general, but there are some legitimate concerns about using it related to privacy or having it available on client websites. Even though Divi provides a way to disable their AI feature in the Role Editor, this is enabled by default for all sites, and can still be accessed easily. Enabling this setting will completely hide the Divi AI features across the website for all users.

Hide Button To Explore More Divi Modules In The Add New Module Window

When you click the gray plus (+) icon in the Divi Visual Builder to add a new module to your layout, the window opens with the list of modules you can scroll through to choose which one you want to add. At the bottom of the list, a blue button which says “Explore More Modules” is displayed, which links to the Divi Marketplace. This is very helpful if you are looking to add 3rd party modules or plugins (we also are selling many of our other Pee-Aye Creative plugins on the Divi Marketplace). But sometimes you may not want your clients or other users to click this button, as it could be confusing to them and you may simply prefer it to be hidden. Enabling this setting will hide the explore more modules button from the add new modules window for all users.

Make The Text Editor Toolbar Sticky Within Module Textareas

Within each textarea in the Divi builder is the editor toolbar with options to make some words bold, change the heading level, add a link, make a bullet list, add a blockquote, etc. But if the text is getting long in the text editor toolbar, it requires scrolling up and down repeatedly just to find and use those options.

Enabling this setting will solve this frustrating problem by adding a new feature to the Divi builder to make the text editor toolbar sticky when you scroll. This means the editor toolbar will stay at a fixed position at the top when you write and scroll within a textarea, making it super convenient to access the toolbar options.

Increase The Height Of The Text (HTML) Tab Textarea

All the textareas in Divi modules have two tabs, the Visual tab for seeing the preview of the HTML formatting and the Text tab for editing the actual HTML code of the text. But when you switch to the Text tab, the height of the editing area is not tall enough, making it difficult to work. Enabling this setting and entering your desired minimum height in pixels into the input field will solve this annoying user experience issue by making the Text field taller by default.

Increase The Height Of The Divi Builder Settings Popup

This setting affects any of the inner popup setting windows within a module settings window such as when adding links or selecting dynamic content. This window by default is very short, which creates a little blue scrollbar and it requires scrolling every time. Enabling this setting and entering your desired maximum height in pixels into the input field will solve this little user experience issue by making the window taller by default.

Increase The Icon Picker Area Height

The default height of the icon picker area within modules in the Divi Builder is not very tall, which makes it difficult to select the perfect icon. Enabling this setting and entering your desired minimum height in pixels into the input field will increase the height of all icon pickers in any Divi modules, giving a nice little user experience improvement!

Added Setting To Swap The Order Of Saved And Global Color Links On All Color Pickers In The Visual Builder

Divi has two types of color options for all color pickers in the Visual Builder called Saved and Global. By default, the order of the color options is Saved first on the left and Global second on the right. Some users prefer to have faster access to Global colors and may want them on the left. Enabling this setting will swap the position of the Saved and Global color options to have Global first on the left and Saved second on the left.

Disable The Divi Inline Text Style Popover

When you click into any text while inside the Divi Visual Builder, a gray floating bar appears just above the mouse cursor with inline text styling options like bold, italic, color, font, etc. Some users may consider this text style popover as annoying and never use it, so we have created this setting to completely disable it if you prefer not to use it.

Make Rows Inside The Post Content Module 100% wide

The default row width in Divi is 80%, which is fine and can be adjusted to your preference. However, in situations when you enable the Divi Builder on a post or page that contains a Post Content Module in the Theme Builder template, it shows the row as 80% of the parent container, which means there is an unwanted 10% space each side. To solve this, you can enable this setting to make all rows inside the post content area 100% width to fill the parent container.

Enable Additional Font File Type Uploads (Admin Only)

By default, WordPress limits the font file types that you can upload to your site for security reasons. If you try to upload a font file type that is not supported, you will see a “Sorry, this file type is not permitted for security reasons.” message. Enabling this setting will allow any administrator to upload additional fonts to Divi. You can choose to only enable this setting when you know you will be uploading unsupported font files and then disable it again.

Upload New Local Fonts

If you want to host your font locally on your own website server rather than retrieve it from a 3rd party service such as Google Fonts, you can upload a font file here. The uploaded font file will be stored on the same server as your website. You can select the supported font weights that you want to include

NOTE: In order to host Google Fonts locally on your server, you first need to disable the “Use Google Fonts” setting in Divi Theme Options. Otherwise, even if you upload a Google Font, it will not convert the font into a local font and will not be hosted locally.

View And Manage Uploaded Local Fonts

After uploading any local fonts to the website server, you can view them or delete them from our interface.

Font Weights Per Font Family For Uploaded Local Fonts

In the past, there was no convenient way to see which font weights were included in font uploads other than going to the builder to choose a font weight. Now we have added a handy feature to display the uploaded font weights with the font family.

Enable SVG Uploads (Admin Only)

Enabling this setting will allow any administrator users to upload SVG files to WordPress. Keep in mind that SVG files are disabled by default by WordPress due to security risks, so if you want to take advantage of uploading images but also want to mitigate the risk, you can choose to only enable this setting when you know you will be uploading SVG files and then disable it again.

Temporary Allow SVG Feature

SVG file uploads are disabled by WordPress by default due to security risks, so if you try to upload an SVG in Divi or WordPress, it will not work. We are excited to introduce a clever way to securely enable SVG file uploads! Enabling this setting will show an additional dropdown setting to choose from two important options. You can choose the option to always enable SVG uploads by default, which activates the code to allow it for Admin users whenever the setting is enabled, and disable the setting when not using it. You can also choose the option to require a confirmation button when uploading SVG files, which will only activate the code to allow SVG uploads temporarily. A button will appear when adding a file which you can click to temporarily allow the upload, then it will disable the code again when the file is uploaded. This is a very innovative solution not available anywhere else!

Limit Maximum Media Upload Size

Some users may not be familiar with image optimization best practices and may inadvertently upload images that have a file size that is too big, causing a negative impact on the page load speed and SEO. To prevent this from happening, you can enable this setting and set your desired limit in kilobytes for the maximum file upload size.

Replace Existing Image

By default, when you want to replace an image on your site, and you upload the new file, WordPress creates a totally separate new file with its own ID, URL, filename, and publish date. Even if the filename is the same as the original, it still considers it a new separate file and adds a dash and number to the end of the filename, like filename-1 or filename-2. This is frustrating because you may be using that image multiple places, and simply want to update the image while keeping all the original details. Enabling this setting will activate a feature that allows you to easily replace an existing image in your Media Library by uploading a new file in its place. This will also update the image with the new one anywhere it is used on your site.

Hide Image Title Tooltip On Hover

When you hover over some images on your Divi website, you will see the image title text appear in a tiny tooltip beside the mouse cursor. This feature is not related to SEO or alt text, so it is not important. There is not any good reason to have this tooltip show, and it can be annoying and unwanted for most users. Enabling this setting will automatically hide the title text from showing in the tooltip when hovering over images on your website.

Disable Load More button from WordPress Media Library And Restore Infinite Scroll

In the past, when you view the WordPress Media Library, it had infinite scroll and you could easily scroll through all of your images. However, WordPress changed this by adding a feature that only shows a small group of images at a time, and adds a load more button at the bottom. This can be very frustrating and cause delays if you looking for an image either directly in the library or when adding an image in the Divi Builder, requiring you to repeatedly click the load more button. Enabling this setting will disable the load more button from the WordPress Media Library and restore the infinite scroll instead.

Enable Custom Code Editor Window In Visual Builder

This feature allows you to edit CSS, jQuery, and PHP code within a custom code editor window inside the Visual Builder. To activate this feature, please enable at least one of the tabs below.

Show CSS Tab

There are many locations in Divi to add CSS, and it can be confusing and disorganized. It is also very inconvenient to need to go find the custom CSS box in the Divi Theme Options just to add some code. So we have solved this by making the CSS code universal, meaning you can view and edit the same CSS code from a new code editor window inside the Visual Builder which synchronizes CSS with the Custom CSS code box in Divi Theme Options>General. There is a setting to show or hide the CSS tab.

Show jQuery Tab

When you need to add jQuery or other JavaScript in Divi, the best place to add this is in the <head> code editor in the Divi Theme Options>Integrations tab. But this is an inconvenient and hidden location, and the terminology can be confusing. To solve this, we have created a new way to view and edit jQuery in Divi by adding a new custom code editor window in the Divi Visual Builder which synchronizes jQuery with the <head> code box in Divi Theme Options>Integrations. There is a setting to show or hide the jQuery tab.

Show PHP Tab

There are many situations that require you to modify the core structure of your Divi website or add some additional functionality. Many tutorials on our blog and other WordPress functions require pasting PHP code into your website, but unfortunately there is no option in Divi to paste the snippet or to extend the theme with PHP code. We have solved this issue by creating a new way to add PHP code in Divi by adding a new custom code editor window in the Divi Visual Builder with a dedicate PHP editor. There is a setting to show or hide the PHP tab.

Activate PHP Code

Custom PHP code must be handled carefully when working on live websites. Incorrectly formatted or written PHP code can cause errors to display, or even worse, break the site completely by causing a fatal error. However, if there is a fatal error caused by custom PHP code that you add to the PHP tab of the Divi Assistant code editor, you don’t need to worry! This is because we have created several special error handling features for this situation.

• The PHP code will not run unless this setting is enabled. This means if there is any issue, you can always come here to simply disable this setting, and the PHP code will no longer run. This provides the opportunity to fix the error in the code without displaying an error message or breaking the site.
• The PHP code will not run when the Visual Builder is open. This is intentionally designed to allow you to access the code editor even if there is an issue.
• If there is any fatal error caused by PHP code in the code editor provided by Divi Assistant, it will show the error details at the bottom of the website on the frontend instead of crashing the site. You can then come here to disable the code or enable the Visual Builder, open the code editor, and edit or remove the code to fix the error.

Enabling this setting will activate and run the PHP code in the PHP tab in that custom code window in the Divi Visual Builder.

Enable Draggable Theme Options Custom CSS Code Editor Height

The main CSS editor in the Divi Theme Options is a great feature, but the short height makes it challenging to use properly. Enabling this setting will make the CSS code editor height draggable to any height, which will greatly improve your user experience when viewing, writing, and editing code.

Theme Options Custom CSS Code Editor Minimum Height

The main CSS box in the Divi Theme Options comes with a default height that is too short to properly view or edit code. With this feature, you can enter your desired minimum height in pixels into the input field below to set the default height of the code editor.

Enable Draggable Theme Options Integration Code Editor Height

The integration code editor box in Divi>Theme Options>Integration is great feature for adding custom JavaScript, but the short height makes it challenging to use properly. Enabling this setting will make the integration code editor height draggable to any height, which will greatly improve your user experience when viewing, writing, and editing code.

Theme Options Integration Code Editor Minimum Height

The integration code editor box in Divi>Theme Options>Integration is great feature for adding custom JavaScript, but it comes with a default height that is too short to properly view or edit code. With this feature, you can enter your desired minimum height in pixels into the input field below to set the default height of the code editor.

Set Cursor Text Highlight Color

When a visitor on your website uses their mouse cursor to select some text, the browser provides a default blue color for the highlighted background color. The generic color is boring, so this is a great opportunity to provide a clever hint of your own branding by using your own colors! With this setting enabled, you can set the color of the highlighted text background and text color when anyone uses their mouse to click and drag to select words on your website.

Disable Horizontal Scroll Movement

Sometimes you may notice horizontal scrollbars or a back and forth sideways movement when viewing your website on mobile. This is not good, and can make your website look unprofessional, and confusing. Many Divi websites have this problem due to things in CSS or layouts like margin, padding, sizing, or overflow, but unfortunately it often goes unnoticed. Enabling this setting will prevent this issue from happening!

Automatically Clear The Divi Static CSS Cache Based On A Schedule

Divi has a feature that takes the custom design styles created using the Divi Builder and compiles and minifies them into static CSS files in order to serve them more efficiently as cached files within your visitor’s browser. However, whenever you make a change to your website design, these cached files need to be cleared so that visitors see the updated design. To do this, you can go to your WordPress dashboard to Divi>Theme Options>Builder>Advanced and clear the Static CSS Generation button. But this is a hassle and major inconvenience, so instead we have created this convenient feature which provides options to automatically clear the Divi static CSS cache on a predefined schedule.

Automatically Clear the Divi Static CSS Cache Based on An action

Divi has a feature that takes the custom design styles created using the Divi Builder and compiles and minifies them into static CSS files in order to serve them more efficiently as cached files within your visitor’s browser. However, whenever you make a change to your website design, these cached files need to be cleared so that visitors see the updated design. To do this, you can go to your WordPress dashboard to Divi>Theme Options>Builder>Advanced and clear the Static CSS Generation button. But this is a hassle and major inconvenience, so instead we have solved this by adding triggers based on common scenarios that require clearing the cache which you can enable below to automatically clear the Divi static CSS cache based on the selection action.

Add Button To Clear Static CSS To Admin Bar

Divi has a feature that takes the custom design styles created using the Divi Builder and compiles and minifies them into static CSS files in order to serve them more efficiently as cached files within your visitor’s browser. However, whenever you make a change to your website design, these cached files need to be cleared so that visitors see the updated design. To do this, you can go to your WordPress dashboard to Divi>Theme Options>Builder>Advanced and clear the Static CSS Generation button. But since this cache needs cleared every time you make a change, why it is so difficult to find? Why not move the button to a more convenient location so you can clear it easier? Now you can! Enabling this setting will add new buttons to the WordPress admin bar to clear the Divi static CSS cache quickly with one convenient click!

Add Button To Clear Local Storage To Admin Bar

Local storage is an internal memory storage used by your website to store objects locally in your computer browser. Local storage only affects you since it is associated with your browser sessions, and does not affect other users. This data does not expire and remains stored on your computer until the application that put it there deletes it, or when you manually clear it. Various plugins may utilize this local storage feature, but Divi specifically uses this for things like copy and paste modules, copy and paste styles, and for displaying and managing modules and Divi Builder settings. Clearing the local storage should be a maintenance step you perform every time you clear update Divi or any 3rd party Divi plugin, and also when clearing your browser and other cache. This can potentially solve some issues faced when using Divi. Enabling this feature will add a new button to the WordPress admin bar to clear the local storage.

Add Button To Hard Refresh Browser To Admin Bar

When building your website, sometimes you may face issues in the Divi Builder or frontend with outdated or broken content, design, or functionality. In some situations these issues are caused by browser cache, which needs to be cleared often when building a website. But a regular page refresh does not clear the cache, but rather uses cached files to improve the loading performance. Instead, you need to do a hard refresh, which sends a request to the server asking for fresh copies of its resources. The server then responds by providing the latest version, potentially including changes made since the previous cached versions were stored. Enabling this setting will add new buttons to the WordPress admin bar (after reloading the page) to perform a hard browser refresh on the page to ensure you receive and are viewing the most recent version of all resources!

View An Easy-To-Read Divi Changelog

On this page, you can view any version of the Divi Theme changelog in a simplified format! A changelog is a list of new features, settings, and bug fixes that are included when software is updated. It is a great idea to keep up to date on new features and fixes that Elegant Themes releases for their Divi Theme.

Install Any Version Of The Divi Theme

This tool allows you to select and install any version of the Divi Theme. This tool is useful for troubleshooting or when your site is affected by a known issue in a specific version. Make sure you have a full site backup before proceeding. To begin, select a version below and review the details. Then continue to install the selected version.

Disable & Hide Automatic Theme Updates

Divi Theme updates are usually great and helpful with new features, fixes, and improvements, but they can also cause unwanted issues. This is why you should never have automatic theme updates enabled. It is always best to test theme updates on a staging site, and always have backups in case something goes wrong. Enabling this setting will disable the theme automatic update feature and completely hide it, which means you will need to manually click update whenever Elegant Themes releases new Divi updates.

Disable & Hide Automatic Plugin Updates

Plugin updates are usually great and helpful with new features, fixes, and improvements, but they can also cause unwanted issues. This is why you should never have automatic plugin updates enabled. It is always best to test plugin updates on a staging site, and always have backups in case something goes wrong. Enabling this setting will disable the plugin automatic update feature in WordPress and completely hide it, which means you will need to manually click update whenever plugin developers release new updates.

Disable New Default WordPress Themes

Each year WordPress released their own default theme. Since you are using the Divi Theme, you can ignore it. However, for some unknown reason, WordPress automatically installs the new default theme on every website automatically! This is obviously very annoying, and it requires you to manually delete it each year. To stop this madness, you can enable this setting to prevent WordPress from installing the new default theme each year!

Import And Export Divi Assistant Settings

One of the greatest features of the plugin is the ability to export and import the Divi Assistant settings. This opens up ways for you to efficiently set up new Divi websites in the future. You can configure settings the way you want, and then export them as to use on another site. You could even create multiple templates using different settings for different types of new sites. This helps you get started quickly and have all the tools and features and hacks set up for you on new sites!

Hide Divi Assistant From Selected Administrator Users

The Divi Assistant menu item, user interface, and settings only appear to users with the WordPress Administrator role. However, sometimes you may wish to restrict certain administrator users from accessing Divi Assistant settings. This new feature allows you to control who can access the Divi Assistant interface and settings. The checkboxes below are used to grant or restrict access. By default, all admin users will have access, but you can deselect the checkmark next to any username to restrict their access by hiding the Divi Assistant menu and settings from them.

Enable Or Disable Helpers

The Divi Assistant settings are arranged within “helpers” which are like categories to help organize the plugin settings. When you disable a helper, it hides the tab on the left side, and all the settings within that helper are disabled. The setting values are saved in the database, so if you enable the helper again, the settings will enable again.

Divi Assistant Changelog

You can easily view the Divi Assistant plugin changelog at any time directly from the plugin! Now you can keep track of all the new features and improvements so you don’t miss anything!

New Feature Idea Suggestion Form

If you have a feature suggestion or improvement idea for the Divi Assistant plugin, we would love to hear it! You can send your suggestion directly from the plugin for ultimate convenience! We will reply to the email address you used to log in to your site. Or maybe you have a totally new addon idea – send us a message to let us know, and we will consider it!
