This guy is brilliant. He's the reason I got into Divi. Every time you're stuck just come here and search - boom he's already got a video! So creative, lots of stuff I would do with graphics and code he does in Divi in half the time.
You are a GREAT teacher, keep things brief, and are one of my favorite TH-cam tutorial instructors-appreciate you very much! Keep up the good work and God bless!
Thank you - after trawling TH-cam and watching hours of content for the last three days this is the first Theme Builder tutorial that has actually worked for me. I still have a LONG way to go but this has given me faith to keep going.
July 2024 - This is still a very valid video. Some things changed, but it was pretty easy to figure it out. Thank you!!!!! I do have a question! How do I get the top header divider to not go across my picture? I'd like my picture to be "in the front". Thank you!
This made things a little more clearer; it's a lot for a beautiful blog but worth it: I replayed little snippets over and over until I got it - wrote mine dow, thanks.
Hi Mak, I just can't get over how INCREDIBLY HELPFUL and WONDERFUL all your Divi tutorials are. I'm a voice actor and I'm in the process of re-designing my website (from boring ol' Wordpress 2017 theme!), to a brand new site... thanks to you! Your tutorials and teaching style are amazing, as is the diverse array of TH-cam lessons for everything we need. Just writing this comment to say Thank You So Much! :-) :-) You are awesome!
Thank you for creating this video. It's been incredibly insightful in understanding how Divi functions overall. Additionally, it enabled me to design a blog template that seamlessly integrates with the style of my entire website. The dynamic content feature is impressively useful, and it sparks my curiosity about other creative applications it might have.
Incredibly useful and informative post. Thank you. I learnt quite a bit about the flexibility of the dynamic content, which I haven't used a great deal... up until now. Well done, Mak.
22:18 “design is working really well”... that divider is over the top of the image. You need to change the z index of the image so that it is above. Other than that it was a really good tutorial and I’m ready to build my own.
Excellent, excellent tutorial here. You've showed a lot of important and powerful principles here with regard to the potential of Divi's Theme Builder. This cuts my work and development time in about half and helps me to give my clients a better end-product, no kidding!
Simply excellent. I have a question regarding post templates, WordPress and DiVi. I have sen that you create the template to "All Posts" and when publishing the posts use the build-in Guttenberg editor, right? Is that the recommended workflow for creating posts, or there's another way? I am completely new working with WordPress and DiVi and I have found difficult to use them. In the beginning, I was creating the post inside DiVi and I am just realised that was a mistake that create a lot of code and design issues. Please if you can comment what is the best workflow for posting on my WordPress site and use DiVi that will be much appareciated.
I did the same thing! And I'm currently stuck. I've contacted Elegant Themes, but I still don't understand how to use the template I created. (I love the template, though.)
Thank you! I love your teachingstyle! Not too much rambling about nonsense but enough for a non-web person to follow. I do have a question.... My image doesn´t appear in the imagebox.... Do you have to set the image size to a certain size before you upload?
Absolutely nice, thanks for sharing. I'm facing a problem when I want to create a new POST, and cannot add the Post Content Module to my Post, can you create a new post a please show us how you create a new and fresh POST? THANKS YOU
really thankful for these videos! I am learning so much! Although you go through them way to fast for beginners I am happy to be able to pause it every two seconds and follow along on my site builder :)
Thank you very much. That is very detailed and I will follow step by step. One question though for anyone really. How do we then add a new post? I am just starting out
I'm finding this DIVI tutorial so helpful (same with all your tutorials). Re the image you placed in the background here, what is the size and type. I suspect a PNG. Knowing the size will be helpful. Thank you!
Thanks for this video. Built along with you - but then, having made a few errors, imported the template. Whn I create a new post - using divi visual builder - not clear but should the bull body template appear - with each of the headings set out? Or am I to create a new section and create the post within this? Tried this - but then don't inherit the styles (font etc) from the template. Obviously going wrong somewhere.
This great Mak, but please explain more why you need something like e.g. Catagories or Author, or if you do not need it all. And by not using those will it change the design. And where is it found on the website navigation for visitors, is there a blog page to add?
Could you explain HOW to include the website's main menu at top? As is, it is not there, so once anyone lands on the individual post, they hit a dead end! Thank you! Your tutorial was excellent - soooo detailed.
Hi Mak! I was wondering if there is any other way to edit the block quote aside from what you can do in the Post Conten Module. I want to delete the vertical border at the left of the block quote but cannot seem to find a way. Thanks in advance.
Hi, thank you. Great video to learn how to create the template. BUT, (a big but), the template works great for existing posts but once it's created, HOW can I use it for new posts? Where do I write the content etc? Because it uses dynamic data it uses already existing data. I don't understand how to create new posts. Best regards
Really, really good video, as always. Would it be possible for you to slow down a bit in future videos? Thanks! P.S. I slowed down the speed to .75. Works for me (smile).
I love your tutorial. Saved me a lot of time. One quick question In the comment section, the backend shows comment, name, email but on the front end it only shows comment. How do I fix this
This is great. One question... Is there a way? (how) to create a post content template? I want to build some form of checklist into a post content template to make sure certain elements are included by the author; e.g. intro that includes XYZ, Table of contents, X internal links, X external links, a CTA, a conclusion etc.
This is awesome, so easy to follow and just wonderful. I have a quick question though, how come it's not showing up when i view my post??? :( I just have one right now as I'm just beginning out, but yeah, lmk ! I've saved it and everything. could there be something else going on?
Just what I was looking for! One question please. Once you have created a custom template, how do you actually use/apply it to a new blog? When choosing "use an existing layout" and the new custom body layout, it seems to duplicate the content on top of each other.
@@jenncar100 I still haven't sussed it out. I just create a blank page/blog and manually add modules. Makes it difficult to set a constant theme/template.
TOTALLY AGREE with you, I have been going in circles for hours today, watching video after video. YES, we know how to do each of these pieces but how do we actually USE it???
Struggling quite some time now on the 'dynamic content'. In what way is it possible to override the image settings on width and height? Is it possible to show them as 16:9 image, even if the normal ratio of the uploaded image is 4:3.
Mak, I have been watching your awesome How To Divi videos over and over again. Thank you. This video is unfinished for me. I want to replace my existing WordPress side bar with a Divi Sidebar but the 2-column format confuses me. Two ways to ask this: 1) How do I bring my blog articles into the left column? or 2) Is there a way to replace my WP side bar with the Divi sidebar? I know this video is over a year old but can you help me? Respectfully, Mark
Very nice video super helpful thank you. The divider you placed is running over the image below it. I have come across the same when using the fullwidth elements. I feel that its a bug since I am unable to remove it or change the hierarchy or order that it should pace itself.
Hello! Your content is great, I have applied it but the Post content template is too small for my posts, is there a way to enlarge the space for the text?
OMG - thank you so much for this! I am building my first DIVI page and your videos are gold!!! All that dynamic content! That is so useful! Thank you so much. Definitely hitting that subscribe button.
Hi, I have a problem. I am trying to create a post template but my texts have not h1, h2 etc because they are news. How can I do it? Because I can't apply the template for this reason.
This guy is brilliant. He's the reason I got into Divi. Every time you're stuck just come here and search - boom he's already got a video! So creative, lots of stuff I would do with graphics and code he does in Divi in half the time.

couldnt put it better myself
You are the BEST trainer on the net! Love your quick pace and thorough explanations. THANKS! :)
He is so talented at making a really nice blog template. I just added the 3 blog grid to my blog and it's so much nicer now. thank you!
Simply brilliant man! Only about an hour's worth of elbow grease, and I have a great looking blog. Thank you!!!
I checked out your page -- I like your music but couldn't find your blog.

what a fantastic tutorial! I love Divi and i super-needed this tut. Thank you!
Incredibly useful and informative post. Thank you. I learnt quite a bit about the flexibility of the dynamic content, which I haven't used a great deal... up until now. Well done, Mak.
This is one comprehensive tutorial. Easy to follow.
Great work
OH MY LIFE!!! This is incredible! Makes a HUUUUGE difference!

Thank you so much! This is the one thing ihave left to build on my webpage. Looks great
in awe with this feature
That's amazing Manas! 😄
Thank you very very much. Didn't know how all this works before!
Amazing divi tutorial, thanks Mak.
I was totally unaware of the power and flexibility of dynamic content. Great video, thanks! 🙏
Simply excellent.

You skipped over the image width part. I can't find the portion to make that image bigger. I only see image BORDER width.
Thank you! I love your teachingstyle! Not too much rambling about nonsense but enough for a non-web person to follow. I do have a question.... My image doesn´t appear in the imagebox.... Do you have to set the image size to a certain size before you upload?
Great video! You just sold me on Divi. (I've been trying to decide b/w it and Elementor.)
Thank you for this. I did it and it turned out lovely.
Absolutely nice, thanks for sharing. I'm facing a problem when I want to create a new POST, and cannot add the Post Content Module to my Post, can you create a new post a please show us how you create a new and fresh POST? THANKS YOU
Amazingly helpful. I'm so thankful for your step-by-step here. I learned SO much!
This video was so helpful, omg... Thank you!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. As always, very easy to follow and understand. Totally understand Dynamic content now!
Very useful tutorial. Thank you! Knowing how to use the dynamic content feature now is a game changer.
I was about to ask for my money back from Elegant Themes, until I watched this video. Thanks!!
This is one of the best tutorials. Does he have his own Divi playlist?
really thankful for these videos! I am learning so much! Although you go through them way to fast for beginners I am happy to be able to pause it every two seconds and follow along on my site builder :)

boy, this is some awesome content. no bullshit, good speech. keep it up.
Great video! This is a lot better than the tutorials at the website. 😁
You're welcome! 😄
*Mak* .... It was one of the best and useful lessons !!!!!!!!! I even downloaded it to my computer as a hint:)
Thank you :)
@@sitekrafter Hi, great tutorial. I am unable to find the download for the global layout?
Thanks Mak for this amazingly efficient video. Much broader than "just" templating the blog posts, it's a real Divi crash couse. Thanks again!
thank you endlessly! you have no idea how much you've helped me!!
Nice tutorial Mak, congrats!
Great video! So I have it on a site now, but can't figure out how to style the read now button. ? Can't seem to find where I can do that?

Brilliant video, as always.✊

NIce video Mak....Thanks for showing how to set up my blog. How about a custom shop page. WIth the image titles being the same.
Could you explain HOW to include the website's main menu at top? As is, it is not there, so once anyone lands on the individual post, they hit a dead end! Thank you! Your tutorial was excellent - soooo detailed.
Phew! That was a power tutorial :) Very helpful thanks
You're welcome
Thanks Mak. Really detailed. Very useful tutorial
Perfect, thank you 😀
Really best video and helpful
22:22 working well though? ... 🧐
GREAT !!! Really good thanks a lot !!
Hi Mak! I was wondering if there is any other way to edit the block quote aside from what you can do in the Post Conten Module. I want to delete the vertical border at the left of the block quote but cannot seem to find a way. Thanks in advance.

Has Divi removed the "Post Content" module in newer versions? I didn't find it among the module selections.
Really, really good video, as always. Would it be possible for you to slow down a bit in future videos? Thanks!
P.S.
I slowed down the speed to .75. Works for me (smile).
I love your tutorial. Saved me a lot of time.
One quick question
In the comment section, the backend shows comment, name, email but on the front end it only shows comment. How do I fix this

Hello! Your content is great, I have applied it but the Post content template is too small for my posts, is there a way to enlarge the space for the text?
What is your feature image size, please?
Has the "Use Icon Font Size" option been deprecated? I don't see it in my Blurb Settings.
Great job :)
Very useful, thanks
Post navigation is not done by me. please make another video like this. thanks
nice contents
hope you keep update :)
