Requirements

No prior knowledge or previous experience in editing websites or WordPress sites is required.
Access to your username and password to log into your WordPress website
Your website must be a WordPress website built using the Divi Theme

Description

Note: this course covers Divi version 4 specifically. Divi 5 has not yet received an official release date for production (likely not until 2026) but many of the editing techniques will be the same in both versions 4 and 5 even though the interface looks slightly different. If you have any questions, please ask before purchasing and I'll do my best to guide you.

Do you manage a website built using the Divi theme?

This course is for anyone who manages a website built in the extremely popular Divi theme for the WordPress platform, even if you've never used WordPress or Divi before.

This is NOT a course that teaches you how to DESIGN or BUILD a website in Divi. It's meant to be a "101" introduction for those who are tasked with managing content within a Divi website. This course assumes your Divi website is already completed and you're ready to learn how to efficiently edit content and manage it.

This is course is meant to be consumed a la carte, meaning you don't need to sit through every lecture. You can jump to the lecture that pertains to whatever your current task is (but if you want to go through every lecture, that's great too!). My purpose when creating this course was to make a "quick resource guide" of sorts to help my students achieve success as quickly as possible.

In this course we'll cover:

A brief introduction/refresher of WordPress
An introduction to the Divi Theme and how it works
A tutorial of the most common Divi modules you're likely to encounter while managing your Divi website and how to do things like editing text, swapping images, embedding video, and more
A helpful How Do I bonus section at the end, which shows you how to perform many common tasks you may encounter while managing your Divi website.

Again, this is NOT a course that teaches you how to design or build a website in Divi.

This IS a course for people who had a website built for them using WordPress and Divi or who inherited a WordPress and Divi website and who wish to learn how to manage it day-to-day.

The only requirements for this course are that you have administrator access to a WordPress website that was built using the Divi theme and a desire to learn more about how WordPress and Divi work together so you can effectively and efficiently manage them.

Who this course is for:

Website managers or editors who are taking over a website built using the Divi Theme
Users with no experience working with Divi
Beginner Divi users who want to refresh and grow their Divi knowledge
