Divi 5.0, the next evolution

Experience the exciting transformation of Divi with the latest 5.0 “Foundation Update” from Elegant Themes. This new version of Divi has been carefully redesigned for the future, based on the extensive knowledge and expertise the team at Elegant Themes has gained over the past nine years. Dive into this update to discover a completely updated and modernized core of Divi.

When is Divi 5.0 expected?

Divi is celebrating its tenth anniversary with a focus on future-proofing its platform. By embracing the latest technologies and advancements, they are laying the foundation for the next decade to provide users with an enhanced experience.
Divi 5.0 strives to provide improved performance, stability, scalability and extensibility. This new version eliminates latency and is ready for the future of WordPress. It also includes an API that allows web developers unprecedented freedom for customization. Existing Divi users can rest easy, as the software is backwards compatible for a seamless transition without disruption.
When updating to Divi 5.0, you won ‘ t notice many changes from a UI perspective. The purpose of this update is not to introduce new features to the Divi Builder. Although at first glance the Bu ilder looks and functions the same, significant improvements have been made behind the scenes that will manifest themselves in different ways.
Optimal performance and scalability are critical in the online world. We can help you grow your online presence, without compromising the speed or quality of your platform.

Say goodbye to shortcodes

Divi 5.0 brings a huge change: the migration of shortcodes to a more modern storage format. This transition has several benefits, including better performance and more flexibility.

  • The tool provides faster and more efficient processing of Divi pages and all associated design settings.
  • By simplifying the way shortcodes and shortcode attributes are nested in message content, can reduce the number of bugs created by complexity.
  • The goal is to provide a system that allows the creation of nested content (such as rows within rows). This will make the writing process much easier for users and provide a better reading experience for readers.

This change is critical because it aligns Divi with the future of WordPress. With new developments on the horizon, Divi is preparing to follow this new direction and move forward.

The latest Builder API

Divi 5.0 represents a major shift in the evolution of Divi. This new version will offer developers more features than ever before. The fully customizable Divi Builder and associated API allow developers to add a variety of new modules, settings and features to add to their websites. This advancement is a big leap from the current Divi API, which is already very popular among non-developers. To illustrate the difference between the two APIs, consider the following example.

It was originally designed to meet the needs of a small number of people, making it difficult to add modifications and personalizations. Like a house made of stone, you can only make small changes, such as hanging a picture on a nail in the wall – but only if it has specific dimensions and can be hung on a compatible nail. With the new Visual Builder, this is no longer the case. You have complete freedom to build your website to your needs and desires, just as you can build with real bricks to create your dream house.

While it is a good platform, there was little room in the current version for innovation. New ideas were held back by the restrictive structure of Divi’s current API.

The new Divi Builder, version 5.0, makes creating a Web site as easy as playing with blocks. Instead of struggling with codes and designs, you get the blueprint to build your ideal site. And with its many features, you can even upgrade your site by adding a adding a floor or making adjustments to the first floor. No more fussing with nails and wood – let Divi 5.0 do the heavy lifting for you!

When will Divi 5.0 be ready?

A frequently asked question is “When will Divi 5.0 be released?” Unfortunately, it is difficult to answer this question at this stage of development. Divi 5.0 has been under construction for more than 2 years and there is still a lot of work to be done. Recently, selected developers received and tested the beta version. The official release depends on their feedback. This update is huge and will not be hastily launched.

The launch of Divi 5.0 will take place in several phases:

Fase 1: Developer Alpha – This is an example of the Divi 5.0 API that is not quite finished yet. Developers can already get an idea of what Divi will look like in the future, so they can make plans to modify their current Divi extensions.

Phase 2: beta for developers – It’s time to look ahead to the future of Divi 5.0 and all the hard work they have done to make this release possible. Developers can now start working on their extensions thanks to the completed Divi 5.0 API in our developer beta version. This gives them a head start on the official release of Divi 5.0, which means you too can enjoy this great update soon!

Phase 3: Public Alpha – This is a “lite” version of Divi 5.0 that will already be fully functional. However, some features and modules will still be missing, allowing the community to provide feedback while using it. The Public Alpha is perfect for building new Divi sites and as a test version, but cannot be used on existing sites due to its limited functionality.

Phase 4: Public beta – Once all of Divi’ s features have been added to the public alpha and all feedback has been incorporated, the public beta will be launched. This will be the fully finished version of Divi 5.0 , with possibly some bug fixes discovered during the beta.

Next steps: Official release – After incorporating all feedback from the public beta phase, they will officially release Divi 5.0 officially released as a regular update in the WordPress dashboard. This is how they ensure that customers get the best possible user experience.

Recent developments

The first two phases have been completed and the third phase is coming soon.
