This is the plugin I use to create child themes in Divi, although it is not a specific Divi plugin. I tried other ones, but when Divi would update it seemed to break the plugin and it got frustrating, so I switched to Child Theme Configurator and it has worked well for me so far. For more information on how to use it with Divi, see my tutorial.  Free (pro version available).

Bloom is an opt-in email plugin for WordPress that I love. I have a few sites where my clients have newsletters and using Bloom makes integration with those newsletters easy. I have used it with MailChimp and with Constant Contact. Plus, the signup form that pops up on your page looks pretty cool (it’s customizable, so not every site will have a signup form that looks the same). There are 6 different display types from an automatic pop-up to a widget area form to a form that flies-in to more.  At some point, you may have noticed it on this site (it’ll pop-up on the bottom right hand corner). I have it set to pop-up when the user scrolls to the end of the page or after they’ve been on the site for a set amount of time (whichever occurs first).  Free with Elegant Themes subscription.

When you create a gallery with only landscape photos (horizontal), then you may not notice any cropping issues when creating the thumbnail. But the moment you add some portrait photos (vertical), you’ll run into a bunch of issues. Especially if those portrait photos are of people. You see, Divi creates the thumbnails by cropping the photo from the center, and if you’re taking a headshot of a person, then your thumbnail will consist of their mid-section and not their head. That’s why I use a third party plugin called Crop Thumbnails. I have a video tutorial where I show how I use this ever useful plugin.  Free.

This is not a Divi plugin per se, but I have used it a lot. I just had to move 5 clients to new web hosts and was really dreading the process. Guess what? With Duplicator, there was nothing to dread. I installed it, ran through a couple of steps, downloaded the files, uploaded the files, ran through a couple of steps, and voilà, my client sites were up and running as though nothing had changed. It was simple. I like simple. I did a video to show just how simple.  Free. Pro Version available (pricing varies, depending on license but starts at only $39).

One of the great things about Divi is they are constantly updating it and making it better. One of the worst things about Divi is they are constantly updating it and making the workarounds you used before they became obsolete (not too mention a few tutorials, thank you very much.) Before they easily added drop shadows, borders and the ability to round borders in their module settings, one of my favorite ways to do this was via shortcode from Drop Shadow Boxes, mostly when I was inserting one into a text box. Otherwise, I would just use CSS.  However, I no longer need the plugin.  When I stopped using the plugin because of Divi’s improvements, I wanted to find all the shortcodes and replace it with a Divi Module.  On this site, no biggie, it’s small enough I could easily find and replace the shortcode. But on other much larger sites, there were hundreds of posts. Shortcodes Finder easily located all my Drop Shadows Boxes shortcodes, which allowed me to redo those sections with a Divi Module instead. Free.

This is one of those plugins that’s only going to appeal to a certain number of people.  People like me who have a need to add syntax code to websites.  But if you’re one of those people, then I recommend you get the plugin — Divi Code Snippet Module — from the creator of Divi Booster.  I tried 3 or 4 plugins in WordPress, every one of them would break eventually.  I’m not sure if it was them or Divi, but they played well together when I created the post with the code, but sooner or later I’d go to that page and the plugin wouldn’t be working. And instead of having code highlighted on my page where my readers could easily see it and copy it, it looked like a mess. Read my review. $9.
