    It's time to explain to you Divi Powerful features!

    Check out the screenshot below for our WP Admin menus:

    Basically, our WP Admin menus are located under Divi tab & are separated into 2 parts.

    First part will link to Divi Powerful settings in Theme Customizer.
    Second part will link to the premade elements in Divi Library, which you can then customize it in Divi Builder.

    It's pretty straightforward.

    ================

    Now, let's click on the DP - Main Settings and you will be directed to the Theme Customizer will all the new Divi Powerful settings.

    All the new settings have different background color.

    Single blog post settings are available as a separate section because it has way more settings than the other parts.

    In the Divi Powerful Settings, everything is pretty self-explanatory.

    Take Footer Styling for example, you get to choose a premade global footer to be used across your Divi site.

    We also added a quick link to direct you to those premade elements in Divi Library & you can then customize those premade elements using Divi Builder.

    Important Note:
    • If you are unable to access Divi Builder to edit the premade elements, you just need to go to Settings -> Permalink & click save. Then try to access the Divi Builder again.
    • If your custom header / footer is showing weird on the Theme Customizer, you should go to Divi -> Theme Options -> Builder -> Output Styles Inline -> Enabled

    That's about it. Try to play around with all our settings to get the gist of it. It's pretty self-explanatory & straightforward to use.
