How To Create Off-Canvas Popups In Divi 5

Image
Off-canvas popups are one of the most effective ways to capture attention, grow email lists, announce offers, or guide visitors without cluttering your main page layout. In the past, creating them in Divi required using third-party plugins or custom code. With Divi 5 , that all changes. Using the powerful combination of Divi 5 Canvases and Interactions , you can now build fully custom, native off-canvas popups directly in the Visual Builder. In this post, you’ll learn exactly how to use these two features to create beautiful off-canvas popups. Let’s get started. What Are Divi 5 Canvases?

You can define a small set of rules, apply them consistently, and adjust them later without hunting through a layout. That approach is especially useful when light and dark modes need to coexist. In this walkthrough, we’ll build a dark mode palette that stays in sync with the light layou...

Photos tell better stories when they sit in clean, organized grids. In Divi 5 , you can get there in two ways: use the Gallery Module for a fast, familiar setup, or use CSS Grid controls in the Visual Builder when you want more layout freedom. Grids handle the structure for you, and Divi gives you the design tools to turn a simple collection of images into a polished, responsive, and interactive design. In this post, you’ll learn how to configure grid settings, style your images, and build galleries that look great on every device, including hover effects, captions, and reusable presets. Here’s the breakdown. Grids In Divi 5 CSS Grid controls rows and columns simultaneously, unlike Flexbox, which is designed for a single axis at a time (row or column). With a grid, you can manage both horizontal and vertical placement simultaneously. Grid typically requires custom CSS and can be challenging to master. But not inside Divi 5. Divi 5 bakes CSS Grid directly into the Visual Builder. ...
