The Divi Changelog
What does Divi Changelog mean?
A changelog is a log or record of all notable changes made to a website or and app and other software. A changelog usually includes records of bug fixes, improvements and new features. Some open source projects include a changelog as one of the top level files in their distribution. Release Notes can be added to the changelog, describing the features more in depth.
Blog post: Changelog and Release Notes explained for non-developers
Updating Divi to the latest version
Login to your WordPress dashboard and go to Appearance > Themes and click Theme Details to see your current Divi version. If there is a new version available, you can click “Update now”. However, it’s wise to wait a week or two before installing a major update to make sure that third party plugin developers have the time to update their plugins for 100% compatibility with the latest Divi version.
You should always make a backup your website before conducting a major update and – if possible – use a staging server for test purposes before deploying updates to your live website.
Major Divi feature updates
Every once in a while, Elegant Themes releases completely new Divi features, for example Global Styles, Transformation Controls and Quick Actions. These updates are also covered in the Divi changelog but they are also followed by a more detailed blog post and video from Elegant Themes, featuring the CEO Nick Roach.
Follow the category “Theme Releases” on the Elegant Themes blog to stay updated on the most important feature updates or see the list below:
