I am excited to introduce Composible Settings for Divi 5, allowing you to enable any of Divi’s design options for any module sub-element. This update completely harmonizes the available settings for Divi modules, which means you’ll never have to use CSS to fill the gaps; enable sizing options for buttons, animation options for titles, and everything in between. It opens up hundreds of new possibilities. There’s much to explore, so let me jump into the builder and give you the full, off-the-cuff tour. 👇 Every Option For Every Element Many Divi modules are comprised of nested elements. For example, the blurb modules consist of an image, title text, and body text. Traditionally, each module sub-element has come with a suite of design options specific to that element. The title text element came with font options; that makes sense! But Divi offers many other options: backgrounds, borders, transforms, and much more. Those could always be used to style the module wrapper, but not...

Floating images are elements that appear to hover and drift above the page, creating depth and organic motion without any user interaction. You’ve seen them on agency sites, SaaS landing pages, and portfolio headers—images that gently bob and sway as if suspended in space. The effect transforms static layouts into something that feels alive. Divi has offered built-in animation controls for years, but Divi 5 makes this workflow cleaner thanks to its rebuilt Visual Builder, improved attribute management, and flexible design controls. Combined with a single CSS property, Divi’s built-in Animation options can produce smooth, continuous floating motion directly inside the builder. No plugins. No JavaScript. Just Divi’s native tools and one line of Custom CSS. This tutorial walks through the full build: layout, card styling, animation, staggered timing, and a frosted-glass text treatment that ties the composition together. By the end, you’ll have a reusable section that looks polished and...

Divi has always connected to WordPress menus through the Menu module. What the new Link module, Dropdown module, and Menu query type in the Loop Builder add is compositional control. Instead of relying on a pre-packaged menu component with a fixed structure and styling constraints, you can now build navigation from individually styleable modules using the same building blocks you use elsewhere in Divi 5. The Menu query type in the Loop Builder is the other key ingredient. A Link module can be looped against a WordPress menu so it repeats once per menu item and dynamically pulls in each item’s text and URL. Add, remove, or reorder items in Appearance > Menus , and the navigation updates without requiring changes in the Visual Builder. There is one current limitation to keep in mind: Divi 5’s new menu looping does not yet provide a complete one-loop solution for top-level items and nested sub-menu items together. These new modules and the Menu query type still provide a strong fou...
