Back in December 2018, Elegant Themes announced that they’d be launching a Gutenberg Block module within the Divi Theme.
We are working on exciting integrations (coming soon) where you can use your favorite Divi modules within Gutenberg, or use any registered Gutenberg blocks within the Divi Builder.
Gutenberg and the New Divi Builder Experience (Elegant Themes Blog Post, Dec. 11, 2018)
Unfortunately, almost a year later, this feature has not yet materialized. In fact, I could not find any reference to this feature being developed at all!
I love Divi theme – it makes WordPress site-building a fun and simple experience. But I’ve been using Gutenberg more and more on blog posts and pages, and it’s rate of improvement is impressive. I find the editing content-editing experience in Gutenberg to be more fun that Divi’s “builder” experience, which is buggy and inconsistent when editing content. In fact, this site uses the Divi builder for the structure, but I am creating and editing this blog post in Gutenberg!
I wouldn’t use Gutenberg to build a website yet, but it sure would be nice if Divi offered us the option to use the superior Gutenberg editor for post and page content!
You can try out the Gutenberg WordPress editor here and see Divi’s awesome features here. Both have strengths and weaknesses…
If Elegant Themes ever creates a Gutenberg module for Divi, I’ll let y’all know!

How to auto-save Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) data to a file in your theme
With ACF 5, they shipped a relatively-unknown and awesome feature: The ability to have WordPress automatically-save your ACF fields to a json file in your theme folder every time you save your fields. This has the effect of: All you need to do is add a folder called, “acf-json”, to your theme folder, and it…
How to use $current_user or is_user_logged_in() with FacetWP and WordPress to show different content for logged-in users
I have a membership site where I need to display certain FacetWP results to people who are logged in and other FacetWP results to people who are logged out. Unfortunately, FacetWP forgets WordPress’ global $current_user variable the minute you use one of the facets. Same with WordPress’ is_user_logged_in() function – FacetWP forgets it all once…
