Divi WordPress Website - Edit, Update and Manage Divi v4

Divi Training for website editors with sites built in WordPress using the popular Divi page builder. The course covers websites that have been built in 2025, or before, using Divi version 4 (or lower).

This step-by-step video course will enable business owners, marketing staff and website editors learn how to update a website that's been handed over from their developer.

WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR

Typical students for this course are business owners and marketing or communications staff who have the job of editing their website. The site has already been built by a website developer and now has been handed over to the business for them to update content.

This training starts at the very beginning. No prior knowledge or previous experience in editing websites or WordPress sites is required.

Ability to use a computer and be confident with editing text, for example using Microsoft Word, is assumed.

If you who have experience in editing websites, including WordPress, but not the Divi page builder, you will benefit from the course. Skip the early videos if you have this experience.

OTHER PLATFORMS AND PAGE BUILDERS

If you have a website developed in Wix, SquareSpace, Weebly, Shopify or a website building platform that is not WordPress, this course is not for you.

If you have a WordPress website but it uses Elementor, Beaver Builder, WP Page Builder, Site Origin or Visual Composer, or another page builder, this course is not for you.

DIVI 4

This course demonstrates how to edit a WordPress website that uses the Divi version 4 or lower pagebuilder.

If you can see the 'Divi' name alongside a page name, as you hover over it in the dashboard, you'll know the website has been developed using Divi.

You can find out if your WordPress website uses Divi version 4 by

• go to Appearance in the black left hand side menu

• choose Themes

• hover over Divi theme and click on Theme Details

• view the version of Divi

• if the number on the left is 4 your website is using Divi version 4

DIVI 5

In 2026 Elegant Themes released Divi 5. Divi 5 is a major rewrite of the Divi Builder. This course is not as helpful to you if your website has been built in Divi 5. However I have created a course just for you.

Please go to my instructor page to find the Divi 5 course if you have a website that has been built using the Divi 5 page builder.
