Why I Moved From Divi Theme to Astra Theme Pro

In this video, I talk about why I moved from the Divi Theme to Astra Theme Pro.

I've had huge issues with Astra Pro + Divi builder + woocommerce. You? These just don't work together. It's either Astra + woocommerce, or Divi theme + woocommerce. Thoughts?

Sorry, I have been very disappointed by Mak for weeks, if you have read my mails you know why I say so. And now, after so much time talking wonders about Divi, he comes out with Astra.... Mak, I don't understand very well why you do it, if you are bored, or you have simply lost the north. You know very well that everything that you comment in this video with Divi can be done perfectly well, you know it. What are you playing, you have no patience to see how the new version of Divi 5, or 6 comes out? Sincerely Mak, you have me puzzled, and a little worried. Give signs of life please!

The thing I like about Divi is the custom templates by product or category. How does that fit in with Astra? What about WooCommerce customizations or custom post attributes?

[SaaSHuddle]

Wow, the customization options in Astra Pro are mind-blowing! The flexibility and features make it a game-changer for website design. Can't wait to see more!

Divi got that AI page builder now, it creates the entire page text, image and layout with a single prompt, you may want to reconsider lol

[rm]

The real comparison is which templates look better?

[Infotaining]

So, is the Divi Builder superior to the actual Astra Site Builder?

When I add the Divi Builder plugin, the website gets corrupted.

[krisproaffiliate]

Nah, I used both Divi and Astra, in the past and plus so other themes like Blocksy, Ocean WP, and so on. And in the end it all comes down to preference, that's it! They all, can create good working websites the only difference is website builders and extra customization options that some theme's have and other don't. But if you already have a clear look of your website, you can do it with any website builder or theme.

Hey there - thank you for pointing out the difference between the Divi theme and the builder. Quick question, have you tested Astra Theme with Divi 5? Are you going back to the Divi theme/builder combo with Divi 5?

[Beck-teckk]

I don't see any problem with utilising the strong points from different systems to achieve the best results. It's only a personal choice (and each person has reasons) whether to choose to use something that's more readily convenient, or to try to find ways to make the most use of something we've already been using. Of course there's the compatibility problem in the long run, that's what we've got to watch out for. Otherwise, I see no harm in acknowledging what other systems do better and make your work easier for the moment.

Great info. Just wondering what the MED (minimum effective dose) is in terms of setting up Astra Pro? Meaning if we're going to use the Divi plugin (with Quick Sites or AI builder), how many of those settings will be overwritten by the page builder plugin? Thanks.

Don’t blame Mak, divi 5 is taking way to long

[MarlonVan]

I like the idea but do we really want to be paying for two different builder platforms annually? If Astra pro can allow us to create template pages like divi does, I might consider it but also the practicality of moving around 90 clients to another builder is daunting.

[duckrogers]

As someone who used Divi from start I must say for any more serious webshop with using Ajax and filters Divi lacks big time. If you try create modern shop up to standards of 2024 you will need a lot of extras beside Divi theme.

Divi misses some big targets.

Like more advance grid product module and Ajax filter that works with it.

Tried Divi woo extended and a lot of similar products witg more than few paid Ajax filters not one works as it should.

So I'm looking at astra pro + Divi builder maybe. Or astra pro+ Gutenberg.

Have you seen any changes like these to Divi 5?

[Elle-D]

Thank you! I'm brand new to Divi and I was about to download the Divi theme until I watched this video! 💯💯❤❤

[elonrichardson]

I bought DIVI lifetime some years ago and I never use it. I use other themes. 🥴

[tsgrunt]

Pushed from divi to Breakdance and haven't looked back. Divi interface and output was so clunky that it is night and day. I'll check 5 out when it ever comes out.

I can appreciate the streamlining of those features because it definitely gives your site a more polished feel when you are consistent. However, I believe that you can really achieve a lot of this stuff by setting up a global dizzy template as a starter theme.
