Divi builder is included in ourWordpress web hosting packages. If you would like support for DIVI builder, you must subscribe to a licence directly on the Elegent theme Divi website.

Introduction

LWS offers 3 premium plugins from Elegant Themes (Divi, Bloom and Monarch). These are regularly updated. Once you are an LWS customer, you will have free access to these plugins by choosing the 'Divi Builder' distribution when installing the Wordpress CMS with our Auto-Installer.

If you have a cPanel package or have already installed Wordpress with this distribution, but do not have access to all the themes or updates, please let us know by giving us the access details for the administration area of your Wordpress site so that a technician can update the licence.

Please note: you will need to take out an Elegant Themes licence to benefit from support. LWS does not provide support for these products.

What is Divi's selective synchronisation and how do I use it?

Selective sync allows you to save individual settings when saving a new global library item. You can choose to selectively sync all or part of the Content, Design or Advanced tabs. For example, if you save a new module to the library as a global item, you can change the settings to synchronise only the design settings, and then only those settings will be added to the library. This is particularly useful if you're exploring the Design or Advanced tabs, and want to use your unique styles for multiple modules on your website while adding unique content to the Content tab of each.

A simple example would be to create a unique style header module that is added to each page of your website. In this example, you can have a unique combination of design parameters shared across your website, but at the same time, you need to be able to add a unique title text to each module to represent the current page. In this example, choosing to only selectively synchronise design parameters makes the most sense.

Using selective synchronisation

Using Visual Builder, save a new element in your library and tick the box to make it a global element. Then click to modify the parameters of your module. You will see a small synchronisation icon to the left of all the options in the Content, Design and Advanced tabs. Click on this icon to enable or disable the option to selectively synchronise one or all of the parameters of the current global library item and click Save. Only the options you have selected will be editable in the library. When you add the global library item to your page, only the settings you have ticked to be synchronised will be present.

Whenever you modify a global module, you can easily identify which options are currently synchronised by the green colour of the synchronisation icon. Green icons are options that are currently being synchronised in the global module. Red means that the item is not synchronised. Options modified with green synchronisation icons (activated) are shared by all instances of the global element.

If you want to change the style of the headers on all your pages, you can modify the"Design" parameters synchronised by these global modules and the changes will be reflected on every page that the global header has been used! This very practical operation will save you time when creating your different pages, for example.
