Make Breakpoint Switching More Intentional In Divi 5

Clicking the responsive icons to switch breakpoints in Divi 5 happens fast and is not always obvious which breakpoint you are applying edits to, but our Divi Responsive Helper plugin solves this by replacing the icon bar with a labeled dropdown selector or highlighting the active breakpoint for clearer and more intentional device switching.

  • Replace the breakpoint icon bar with a labeled “Current Breakpoint” dropdown
  • Highlight the active breakpoint icon using the builder’s accent color
  • Create a clearer and more deliberate responsive editing workflow

The Problem

Switching breakpoints in Divi 5 can be confusing due to small icon controls. Users often lose track of which breakpoint they are editing, leading to mistakes. This can result in inconsistent designs across devices and extra work to fix errors later.

It also highlights the active breakpoint icon using the builder’s accent color. This makes it easier to see which device you are currently editing.
