5 Useful Divi Global Modules & How to Build Them

If you are designing a big website, it can be very time consuming having to add the same element on every page and then having to edit every one individually when you want to make a change to it.

To get around this, Divi uses ‘global items’. When you make a module or section a global item, it stores it in a library, so you can edit one it once and it will update all instances of it across the website.

You can use a module even if it is not global. Doesn't global mean you just have to change content in one and the change flows through to all the pages?

I've been using Divi for a while and I am excited for it's next iteration but this feature misses one big mark for me. Why not create a way for us to create a page that acts as a template and give us the ability to make partials off of that? The problem I am having with this, although global modules is nice and I will use them is, I have to add them to over 50 pages. Now, although I don't need to use them, I can just save a template and load it, if I want to make a change to a template, I have to then go change 50 of them.. So the solution is to make them all global and save that template and load that, but then what if I want a page to be different, then all global modules get messed up? Giving us an ability to create multiple templates that we can inject other modules into via partials would be huge, imo!

Do you use a plugin for the social media sharing buttons in the call to action section? If so, please tell me what you use or how you do it. Thank you!

Hi, I'm your customer. This is so leveraged to build pages but I'd like to know how to apply the footer to the woocommerce single product page. It is the automatic page. Is it possible to use Visual builder to edit it or any way to?

Is there way to increase font size in the Nav bar? Ive maxed out the regular settings and i was wondering if there was a css code to input into the theme options? thanks so much

I'm so confused when I should use the global library items, or the theme builder. Can anyone shed some light?

I have the same issue as Jerementor. Any workaround for this?
