Another part of the Divi Community is preparing for the next chapter. DiviFlash has been a cornerstone extension for Divi users who need more than the native modules can provide, and their team has been working hard on Divi 5 compatibility.

Divi 5 is an architectural overhaul from the builder, and third-party developers face the substantial and necessary task of rebuilding their extensions from the ground up. DiviFlash has embraced this challenge head-on. Their public roadmap shows that the Divi 5 module rebuild is complete and their public beta is now available. We’d love to see it!

What does DiviFlash include?

DiviFlash bundles over 65 modules, 15+ extensions, 50+ full website layouts and 800+ section layouts into a single plugin.

The plugin focuses on several module types not traditionally covered: form plugin styles, social media feeds, advanced navigation systems, CPT galleries, and WooCommerce enhancements. Each module follows Divi’s familiar three-tab interface (Content, Design, Advanced), making the learning curve virtually non-existent for existing Divi users.

DiviFlash simplifies collaboration with popular plugins such as WooCommerce, Contact Form 7 and WPForms, and supports dynamic content from ACF, Pods and Toolset. There is something for everyone and that is why it is so popular.

Divi 5 conversion status

DiviFlash has fully committed to Divi 5 compatibility with a transparent roadmap available on their website. The team rebuilt their modules using Divi 5’s new React-based framework, ensuring full compatibility with Visual Builder, displaying changes in real-time without the need for page previews.

Current licensees will receive the Divi 5 upgrade at no additional cost. The team has made Alpha and Beta builds available through their members-only community, where users can test converted modules and provide feedback during the development phase.

Module showcase

DiviFlash adds several new features that Divi’s native modules have never had before. Below are five modules that show why this extension has won the trust of over 100,000 websites.

1. Form Styler Modules

Divi’s own Contact Form Module handles basic form creation, but styling third-party form plugins within Divi layouts has historically required custom CSS or using the styling option of the form plugin of your choice. DiviFlash adds a special styler for three of the most popular WordPress form plugins: WPForms, Contact Form 7, and Gravity Forms. Enable the FormStyler you need and disable the others.

The time savings from this feature are incredible. Especially if you’re used to editing with Divi’s settings panel, this is a great way to really customize a form.

You can submit label typography, input field backgrounds, checkbox and radio button styles, drop-down menus, and button design! It really couldn’t be easier.

2. Social feed modules

Social media integration is definitely a nice-to-have for many websites. They’re usually great for social proof and connecting people to a brand across multiple platforms. The d Facebook and Instagram Feed modules integrate your favorite social media page feeds with extensive visual options.

The Facebook Feed module is new in the Divi 5 version, but Divi 4 users may remember the Instagram Feed module. They both display messages based on enabled filter settings. You also control every design choice, such as showing or hiding the page header, cover photo, and call-to-action button. Adjust the input width and height to suit your layout, set the alignment, and enable lazy loading for better performance.

Many people have expressed interest in an improved menu experience for Divi. While we’re working on it, others, including DiviFlash, have turned their own ingenuity to this problem.

DiviFlash’s Advanced Menu module functions as a complete header solution rather than just a navigation element. The module consists of two interdependent parts: a menu editor dashboard in the WordPress admin and the builder module itself. Changes made in the menu editor only affect the DiviFlash Advanced menu, leaving your WordPress menus untouched for other uses.

The module supports eight different child asset types that can be combined to create advanced headers: logo, menu, button, icon, search, custom content, and more. You can integrate entire Divi layouts into drop-down menus, create dynamic submenus that automatically pull content, and configure mobile slide menus with custom buttons and icons.

Although the Advanced Menu Module has some quirks (such as the positioning of child elements), it is definitely beginner-friendly and easy to use.

4. Custom Post Type Modules

DiviFlash offers extensive support for CPT (Custom Post Type). The CPT Grid and Filterable CPT modules display custom pole types in grid or masonry layouts with taxonomy filtering and Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) integration.

For sites that use custom post types, DiviFlash modules can retrieve and display custom field data directly within the layout. The ACF Gallery module specifically creates masonry or grid galleries from ACF gallery fields. A total of six dynamic content/CPT modules are included in DiviFlash. And again, these all work in Divi 5.

5. Advanced video module

Divi includes a basic video module, but this module offers even more features, including custom thumbnails, overlay effects, lightbox display, and sticky playback – features that require workarounds or additional plugins. DiviFlash’s Advanced Video module consolidates these features into a single solution.

Upload custom video thumbnails instead of relying on automatically generated previews. Add overlay effects with custom playback icons to match your design. Enable lightbox playback for full-screen viewing without leaving the page, or configure sticky playback so the video remains visible as users scroll.

Advanced controls include autoplay settings, mute options, loop configurations and custom start times. The module supports both self-hosted videos and external sources, giving you full control over the video presentation within your Divi layouts.

Extensions that expand the capabilities of Divi

In addition to modules, DiviFlash includes more than 15 extensions that change the functionality of Divi and WordPress on a deeper level.

Library Shortcodes

The Divi Shortcode extension allows you to embed any Divi layout from the Divi library into the content area of ​​another module.

Diviflash Library Insert Shortcode

This opens up design possibilities that Divi’s structure otherwise prevents, such as placing short text in a testimonial module or nesting complex layouts within tab content.

Dynamic data support

The ACF integration extension connects Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) and Meta Box field data with DiviFlash Gallery and Carousel modules.

Dynamic data Additional support for images in grid or carousel view

Instead of building custom templates or using shortcodes, you can pull dynamic data directly into these module settings.

Contact form database

Submissions via Divi’s own contact form module typically only go to an email address.

Contact form submissions DB DiviFlash

The Contact Form Database extension stores submissions in your local WordPress database, creating a record that you can access without relying on email delivery.

For users who build complex sites and want a few extra modules and other features, DiviFlash consolidates what would otherwise require multiple specialized plugins. The form styler alone justifies the investment for sites using WPForms, Contact Form 7, or Gravity Forms. Add the popup maker, Instagram integration, and advanced menu capabilities to get curated value.

Join the Divi comeback

Divi never went away, but we did spend more than two years building Divi 5 from the ground up. During that time, this amazing community stayed loyal to Divi, knowing it would be worth the wait. We’ve developed a new feature every 10 days, added a backward compatibility system, and continue to optimize Divi 5 before its official launch.

Now Divi 5 is in public beta, and you’ll see more improvements and more third-party developers building on the D5 framework. If you haven’t made the jump yet, now is the perfect time. There is much to discover.
