Going Multilingual with Divi

Going Multilingual with Divi

Happy 2017!

If you are running a multilingual site with Divi, then you are going to LOVE THIS piece of news!

The teams of WPML / OnTheGoSystems and Divi / Elegant Themes have been working together hard on making their plugins compatible with eachother. It looks like they have achieved their goal and now you are able to translate the pages built with Divi in a few clicks thanks to WPML.

Check out this short intro video to get into the mood of making your site multilingual. 🙂

 

 

When I saw the video I was jumping with joy. A client of mine is running a multilingual site with 7 languages at the moment and getting the content translated was kinda difficult. I still need to test the above, but it looks like a gigantic load has been lifted off of multilingual site owners.

If you want to have a very detailed written tutorial, then you can find one in the WPML Documentation library here.

I am sooooo much looking forward to testing and using this! Thanks WPML and thanks Divi!

 

Font Awesome for Divi Builder 2.3 released

Font Awesome for Divi Builder 2.3 released

The Font Awesome for Divi Builder plugin received an important update!!!

Font Awesome has changed their apporach in how the icon library can be included with a site – for good. Until now when a new version of the icon library was released you needed to paste a new code into the head of your site. Now this is over. There is one code (you can generate it here) which you never have to change again and you will always receive the latest and greatest of font icon.

Note: you will need to generate your own Font Awesome embed code here! It is not provided by The Divi Maganize.

This change has also been reflected in the Font Awesome for Divi Builder plugin. Activate it, enter the code received from Font Awesome and you are ready to go – for a loooooooong time. 🙂

Also a new feature of the plugin is a dashboard widget where you will receive news about any updates and news from The Divi Magazine.

Head over to the store to grab the new version, or just click this button below:

Font Awesome for Divi plugin now supports Extra and the Divi Builder!

The Font Awesome for Divi plugin has been updated! And what an update!!! Font Awesome for Divi Builder 2.2 supports not only the Divi theme, but also the Divi Builder plugin (with any theme) and the Extra theme as well!

(Yes, the plugin has been renamed to TDM: Font Awesome for Divi Builder, as the Divi Builder plugin is the core element of all three items.)
