Status update

by | Jan 24, 2020 | Divi

Phew… There’s been a long silence here. For a reason. I became busy.

In January 2019 I took on the role of Support Manager at Modern Tribe, creators of The Events Calendar and Co. This looked like and still is a very exciting challenge for me. I still get to work with awesome people, and now I also have to care about, guide, mentor, coach a dozen-and-a-half support agents.

The role is super exciting and there is no stopping. 🙂 Which is good on one side. On the other side I don’t have much time any more to dabble in building WordPress sites with Divi, thus the source of Divi tips & tricks is slowing down.

I still work with WordPress, a lot, from the support side. This is my work and source of inspiration at the moment, and I like to share my support experiences with the community. You can catch glimpses of this on my other blog and on occasion you can catch me at a WordCamp as well.

So what now?

Divi Magazine will stay here for a while. Not sure how much time I will have to post things, but I don’t want to shut down the opportunity. I might return to building pages with Divi soon.

Until then, keep creating awesome sites!

Everyone is talking about the release of WordPress 5.0 and the Gutenberg block editor. You can read my thoughts and my experiment here:

Time to celebrate! At least for me. 🙂 The website has been successfully moved to a new host, fast and efficient, thanks to the support team of AlpHosting!

And I managed to fix the glitch with the shopping cart, so it seems to work now finally.

And Black Friday is here, and what is Black Friday without a deal, right? 🙂

So here’s my deal for you until and including November 26, 2018:

Get 30% off when you purchase FA Icons for Divi Builder AND Divi Builder UI Pro together!

Webshop error

Webshop error

by | Nov 19, 2018 | Divi

It has been brought to my attention that none of the items in the store can be purchased, the cart remains empty. I do apologize for this inconvenience.

I’m working on resolving the issue, while the site is being moved to a different host in parallel.

Your patience will be rewarded with a prolonged Black Friday sale. 😉

Self hosting option added to FA Icons for Divi

Self hosting option added to FA Icons for Divi

by | Aug 5, 2018 | Divi, Divi Builder, Font Awesome, plugin

Summer is in full blast, but it looks like the Font Awesome team does not go on vacation. They just delivered 4 new category packs and that also means there is an update for the FA Icons for Divi plugin.

What’s new in FA Icons for Divi 2.8?

Quite a lot, actually.

Obviously it supports the new icon packs. (Check here.)

Beside using the Font Awesome CDN now you also have the option of Self hosting the icons of FA 5 Free. What is self hosting? It means that the icons will be served from the same server as your site, and not from a server that is part of a Content Delivery Network.

In case you use your WordPress dashboard in a different language than English you can now translate the whole plugin, including the labels on the switches through a css file. (If you want your translation to be included in the next version, send it over, and I’ll be happy to add it. You will find my contact on the Help tab.)

I fixed a bug which caused an error when trying to network activate the plugin on a multi-site installation. (Thanks to Stian for reporting this.)

I updated the URLs on the Help tab because they were pointing to already non-existing pages.

The the FA assets were updated in the plugin to make sure you get the latest icons under all circumstances.

I ran some test to make sure that the plugin works with the latest versions of Divi, Extra, and Divi Builder.

New packs in Font Awesome 5.2
