Editing a WordPress Website using the Divi Page Builder (v4)

Divi Training for WordPress Website Editors (2024/2025)

This comprehensive video course is designed for website editors, marketing staff, and business owners who need to manage and update WordPress websites built with the popular Divi page builder. You'll learn how to effectively maintain a website that has already been developed – this is not a website building course.

Step-by-Step Video Lessons:

• Account Management: Learn how to log in and out of your WordPress site, change your password, and understand the WordPress dashboard.
• Content Editing: Master updating text using both the Divi Visual Editor and the Divi Text Editor (cogwheel icon).
• Image Optimization: Understand image aspect ratios and image sizes for optimal website performance. Learn how to replace existing images and create new ones.
• Page & Content Management: Discover how to create new pages by copying existing ones, create blog articles, and manage columns by adding or removing rows and sections.
• Module & Page Navigation: Learn to add or remove modules, and manage pages within the website navigation menu.
• Media Integration: Easily add PDFs and links to your website.
• Basic HTML: A live quiz reinforces your understanding of basic HTML elements.
• Software & Security: Learn how to update your website software and run essential backups.

Who is this course for?

This training is ideal for:

• Business owners needing to update website content.
• Marketing and communications staff responsible for website maintenance.
• Anyone who has a WordPress website built by a developer and needs to manage it independently.

No prior experience is required. This training starts with the basics. A comfortable familiarity with computer editing (like Microsoft Word) and internet browsing is assumed. A bonus video offers assistance for beginners who need help understanding browsers. Experience with image editing software (Photoshop, Canva) is beneficial, but we include free online tools for those without.

Existing Divi Users: If you already have experience editing WordPress sites, you can skip the introductory videos.
