The Divi Code Module allows you to easily insert code (like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript) anywhere on your website.

You can also use it for shortcodes (like embedding a shortcode from another plugin) or pasting codes from third-party software like calendar scheduling software or CRM integration.

How to Add the Divi Code Module to Your Page

Add a new page or edit an existing page.
By default, the Standard Gutenberg Editor loads whenever a new post or page is added to WordPress.
Click the purple button underneath the page title that says Use The Divi Builder.

Once clicked, the page will be reloaded with the Divi Visual Builder.

As your page reloads, you'll notice three options:

Build From Scratch
Choose A Premade Layout
Build with AI

Build From Scratch

This option loads the Divi Builder with a blank page design. Choose this option if you'd like to start your page design from Scratch.

Choose a Premade Layout

This option lets you choose from our large library of pre-designed Divi layouts. You can choose from premade layouts by Divi, which you've designed and saved to your Divi Library, and existing pages on your website that you can clone.

Build with AI

This option allows you to create an entire page layout using Divi AI. Using your text prompt and information about your website, you can create the perfect page outline, then build it and fill it with content and imagery, bringing it all to life in no time.

Add the Divi Code Module

When you load the Visual Builder, Divi automatically adds a Section.

Click the green + icon to insert a Row.
Click the gray + icon inside the Row to open the Divi Module Library, which contains all the modules included with the Divi theme.
Find the Code module and click on it to load the module.
The module library is also searchable. Type the module name you want in the search bar at the top.

All Divi Code Module Options Explained

Once added, the module settings automatically pop up. This is where this module's content and design styles are configured. These settings are organized into three groups via the tabs at the top of the module:

Content
Design
Advanced

Content Tab

Inside this tab, you’ll find the content options available for the Divi Code Module.

Text

This is where you paste the code. Remember to use opening and closing tags for your code.

Note - When pasting JavaScript into the code module, it will be visible after you save and exit the Visual Builder.

Link

If you would like to apply a clickable link to the entire module, you can do so here.

Module Link URL - Paste the URL of the link you would like to apply to this module here. This makes the entire module clickable, and when clicked, it will direct visitors to the URL pasted here.
Module Link Target - Defining a link target determines whether the link, when clicked, opens in a new tab or in the same window. Choose one of the available options:
- In The Same Window if you want the link to open in the same window.
- In The New Tab, if you would like that link to open in a new tab.
  By default, In The Same Window is selected.

Module Elements - You can also apply custom CSS to this module by pasting it in this tab. When you click on the Module Elements tab, you'll see individual sections where you can add custom CSS properties.

Conditions

This tab allows you to choose when to display this module based on a set of conditions, like when a user is visiting the page if they’ve already purchased from your company before, what browser they are using, what operating system they’re using, and more.

You can add one condition or multiple conditions.

Visibility

Disable on - Defines the visibility of the module. You can disable it (hide it from view) when the display window is a Phone, Tablet, or Desktop by clicking the corresponding checkbox.
Horizontal Overflow - Defines what shows when content overflows a block-level element's left and right edges. This may be:
- Visible - The content will show if the module's content overflows its height.
- Scroll - If the module's content overflows its height, a vertical scroll bar will be used to scroll through its content.
- Hidden - If the module's content overflows its height, the part of the content that overflows will be hidden.
- Auto - The browser will decide whether a scroll bar will be shown.
Vertical Overflow - Defines what shows when content overflows a block-level element's top and bottom edges. This may be:
- Visible - The content will show if the module's content overflows its height.
- Scroll - If the module's content overflows its height, a vertical scroll bar will be used to scroll through its content.
- Hidden - If the module's content overflows its height, the part of the content that overflows will be hidden.
- Auto - The browser will decide whether a scroll bar will be shown.

Transitions

This controls the hover animation's transition duration, delay, and speed curve.

Transition Duration - Defines the duration (in milliseconds) of the transition of the hover animation.
Transition Delay - Defines the transition delay of the hover animation (in milliseconds).
Transition Speed Curve - Defines the transition speed curve of the hover animation.

Position

Position - This defines the position of the module:
- Relative (default value) - The module is positioned according to the normal flow of the document, and then offset values are relative to itself based on the values of Vertical Offset and Horizontal Offset. The offset does not affect the position of any other elements; thus, the space given for the module in the page layout is the same as if the position were default (static).
- Absolute - The module is removed from the normal document flow, and no space is created for the element in the page layout. The module is positioned relative to its closest positioned ancestor (if any) or the initial containing block. The Location options determine its final position
- Fixed - The element is removed from the normal document flow, and no space is created for the element in the page layout. The module is positioned based on the location options in relation to the browser window. This can be used to create a sticky module.
Vertical Offset - Defines the module's vertical position.
Horizontal Offset - Defines the module's horizontal position.
Z-index - Defines the order of the module in the page layout. Modules with a higher z-index number overlap modules with a lower z-index.

Scroll Effects

This defines how the module behaves upon scrolling. You can make the module sticky (to top, bottom, or top and bottom) and choose if the module transforms upon scrolling.

You can also enable vertical motion on this module, which allows you to adjust the speed at which this element scrolls (making it faster or slower) without affecting the surrounding elements.

The Motion Trigger Effect allows you to choose when the scroll effect you just applied is triggered: when the top of the element is in view, the middle, or the bottom.

Save Your Design

Once you are finished styling and configuring the module, click the Green arrow icon at the bottom right of the module to save your design.

If you close the module without saving, your work will be lost.

Next, Save the Page Design

To save the page design, you can type CMD + S on a Mac or CTRL + S on a PC. You can also use the bottom Divi toolbar to save your page design by clicking the circle purple icon with the three dots … to expand the toolbar and then clicking the green Save button at the bottom right.

Exit the Visual Builder

Now that all your changes are saved, click Exit Visual Builder on the admin toolbar at the top to exit the Visual Builder.
