Updated over 7 months ago

The Divi Gallery Module allows you to display a gallery of images anywhere on your website. You can use it to show a home tour, display your products, show off your work, and more.

Example of the Divi Gallery Module

How to Add the Divi Gallery 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.

Add a page and load the Visual 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.

Position

    • 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 section defines the module's behavior when the user scrolls the page. You can make the module sticky to the top, bottom, or both and decide if the module should transform as the user scrolls.

Additionally, you can enable vertical motion on this module, which allows you to adjust the scrolling speed of the element without affecting the surrounding elements.

The Motion Trigger Effect feature lets you choose when the scroll effect you just applied is triggered. You can trigger the effect when the element's top, middle, or bottom is in view.
