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

Divi Breadcrumbs Module for Divi – A Plugin Review

Divi Breadcrumbs Module for Divi – A Plugin Review

by | Sep 26, 2017 | Divi, Divi Builder, plugin, review

First of all I’d like talk about the breadcrumbs a little in general. If you don’t know what website breadcrumbs are, they are links usually located somewhere at the top of the page of a website that show your current location on a certain website. I mean which page you currently are viewing and in which category. For example, if you are viewing an automotive website and you may be viewing particularly the “Opel Corsa” page, the breadcrumbs could be something like this: “Small Cars > German Cars > Opel > Corsa”. As you can see, the breadcrumbs may be useful if you have a website that has many pages. And possibly many categories as well.

“So, when you want to display the breadcrumbs navigation links somewhere on your Divi website, just place there this module and it will do its job.”

The Divi theme (you can read more about Divi on https://wpvivo.com – just note that it’s in Spanish) doesn’t have the breadcrumbs feature by default. Luckily, there is someone who has developed a premium plugin to add this feature to Divi. The plugin is called Divi Breadcrumbs Module and I will briefly review it in this article.

After activating the plugin in your WordPress admin panel, you will see a new module among your Divi modules options in the Divi Builder settings. This module will be called Divi Breadcrumbs and will be highlighted with the pink color. So you will surely notice it because of this color.
So, when you want to display the breadcrumbs navigation links somewhere on your Divi website, just place there this module and it will do its job. Then in the settings of this module you have some options. For example, you can choose to hide the homepage or the current page breadcrumb. Or, you can insert custom text for the home breadcrumb. And you can also change the separator icon “>>” to something different. You have 12 options there. In the design settings of the module you can customize the colors as well as the fonts sizes of the texts.

In overall, I think this is a pretty good plugin that does a really nice job. And if I had a website with a lot of content and many categories, I would most likely buy this plugin.

You can get a copy of this plugin here and I hope this review will help you.

Do you use breadcrumbs? Or only on certain types of sites? Or you try to avoid them as much as possible? Let me know in the comments below.

Divi Builder UI Plugin Update

Divi Builder UI plugin released

by | Jul 26, 2017 | admin, announcement, Divi, Divi Builder, Extra, plugin

When it comes to work, I’m all about being effective. As effective as possible with as little scrolling and as few clicks as possible.

The design team at Elegant Themes did a great job in designing and further improving on the Divi Builder user interface. It is well organized and quite intuitive. I like working with it in general. And the Visual Builder on the front end was a nice addition recently, however, in most cases I still use the backend with the Divi Builder, it is simply more effective for me.

After working with it for some time – a couple years back – I realized though that there is too much scrolling involved when I need to adjust one thing in a module. So I started thinking and tinkering and wrote about it … But I wanted more!

And at last, all that tinkering resulted in the Divi Builder UI Light | Divi Builder UI Pro plugins, which I am happily releasing today.

You can visit the plugin page to read and see what it does and what are the differences between Light and Pro.

I am very proud of this plugin and I really hope it will reach to popularity of Font Awesome for Divi, which has been downloaded more than a 1500 times so far.

Go ahead and check it out!
