The Divi Blog Module

Add, Configure and Customizing the Divi blog module.

Updated over 7 months ago

The Divi Blog Module is more than just a way to display your blog posts.

It can display posts, pages, media, projects, and products in a full-width or masonry-style grid layout, with thousands of design options available at the click of a button, making the Divi Blog Module the ideal way to display content on your website.

How to Add the Divi Blog Module to Your Page

  1. 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.

  2. Click the purple button underneath the page title, Use The Divi Builder.

Use and Load Divi Builder and Editor

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 Blog Module

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

  1. Click the green + icon to insert a Row.

  2. Click the gray + icon inside the Row to open the Divi Module Library, which contains all the modules included with the Divi theme.

  3. Find the Blog module and click on it to load the module.

  • Box Shadow Position - Defines the shadow's position. It can be inside the module or outside the module.

Module Fitlers Design Options

Transform

  • Scale

  • Translate

  • Rotate

  • Skew

  • Origin points

Tab through to access each option. Configure each option by inputting numerical values or dragging and expanding the box or circle.

You can lock in these values to always be identical by clicking the chain link icon at the bottom right.

Animation

Here, you can apply animation to the module. Once you choose a style, you can adjust the following options:

  • Animation Duration - Defines the length of time that an animation takes to complete one cycle.

  • Animation Delay - Define the amount of time to wait from applying the animation to an element before beginning to perform the animation. The animation can start later, immediately from its beginning, or immediately and partway through the animation.

  • Animation Starting Opacity - Define the starting opacity value.

  • Animation Speed Curve - Define the easing method of your animation. Easing your animation in and out will create a smoother effect than a linear speed curve.

  • Animation Repeat - By default, animations will only play once. If you want to loop your animation continuously, choose the Loop option here.

Advanced Tab

Within the Advanced tab, you will find options that more experienced web designers might find useful, such as custom CSS.

Here, you can apply custom CSS to your module. You can also apply custom CSS classes and IDs to the module, which can be used to customize the module's styles with more advanced CSS properties or to apply custom CSS code using the module's CSS class.

Divi Blog Module Advanced Tab

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.

Conditional Display Rules

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.

Module Transitions Advanced Options

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.

Module Position Advanced Options

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.

Module Scroll Effects Advanced Options

Save Your Design

Once you are finished styling and configuring the module, click the green arrow 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.
