ASPEN FOOTER EDITOR ($ 13.00)

Getting rid of the standard Elegant Themes footer proves to be quite a challenge, and without an easy edit feature built straight into the Divi theme or the Divi Builder Plugin, editing the text to display your credentials and website link is a bit of a nightmare if you’re not 100% code savvy.

For those who are, editing the .php files in the Theme Editor is no problem, but for others; who are a bit hesitant to dive into lines and lines of scrolling code or who are not completely familiar with the importance of using a child theme; the Aspen Footer Editor by WP Zone is a great tool that will quickly sort out your problem.

As the third ever plugin developed for Divi, the Aspen Footer Editor originally released as the Divi Footer Editor. Over time, as the popularity of the Extra theme grew, more and more users required the same footer editing functionality. With this, Aspen Grove Studios redeveloped and rebranded the plugin as the Aspen Footer Editor to offer the same features to a wider range of Elegant Theme users. To date, the Aspen Footer Editor has had nearly two thousand downloads.

With a WYSIWYG interface; that mimics the default WordPress post or page editor; the Aspen Footer Editor allows you to easily add custom text of your credentials to your footer. As well inserting text and styling it with a font of choice, you’re also able to add images – such as your logo – or videos directly into the footer area, and hyperlink all elements back to your site.

As well as allowing you to insert your copyright legislature and include the Copyright symbol (found in Special characters under the Omega icon), the Aspen Footer Editor also includes a nifty shortcode function that allows you to insert a date into your footer – which will automatically update each year as time progresses.

If you’d like to test drive the Aspen Footer Editor in action, check out the live demo (use ‘demo’ as the password).

Once installed and activated, the plugin can be found in the Divi tab below Divi Theme Options. At only $13.00, the Aspen Footer Editor is a really handy plugin that’ll save you from sleepless nights (these are guaranteed if you mess up the theme’s .php files or if a theme update occurs and you’re not running a child theme).

A once-off purchase that can be used on unlimited sites, the Aspen Footer Editor plugin is compatible with both the Divi and Extra themes, and can be purchased via Aspen Grove Studios for $ 13.00.

DIVI GHOSTER ($ 15.00)

The Divi Ghoster plugin by WP Zone allows you to take full control over the back-end of your WordPress website and replace all of the site-wide evidence of Divi with custom text and branding. You’re able to add either your own branding for your personal web design website or include your clients’ branding to create an even greater impact for their business website and the management thereof.

Through the Divi Ghoster, you’re able to remove all instances of Divi’s appearance on the dashboard, page builder, and page settings, and insert custom text and icons relating to either your business or your clients’. With no coding knowledge required, the Divi Ghoster lets you quickly edit the slug text within the side-wide URLs from displaying as ‘Divi’ to custom text of your own. These features are all particularly useful if you don’t want your clients to know that you’re using Divi.

Taking things a step further, the Divi Ghoster plugin comes with an extra special feature called the Ultimate Ghoster. By activating the Ultimate Ghoster, you’re able to completely hide all evidence of your use of Divi in development. This will remove the theme selector under the Appearance Tab, the Divi Role Editor and the Divi Ghoster plugin itself from your WordPress dashboard. Before turning on the Ultimate Ghoster, make sure you copy and save the designated links. Returning to these at a later stage will allow you to deactivate the Ultimate Ghoster and restore the removed features to continue building as per normal.

Finally, the Divi Ghoster includes a login customizer that allows you to style the default WordPress Login screen. Here, you’re able to include either your own or your clients’ branding styles by adding background images or colors, styling the login form and replacing the WordPress logo with a custom one.

A once-off purchase that can be used on unlimited sites, the Divi Ghoster plugin is compatible with both the Divi and Extra themes, and can be purchased via Aspen Grove Studios for $ 15.00.

DIVI DASHBOARD WELCOME ($ 22.00)

The Divi Dashboard Welcome plugin, developed by Tim Strifler, is a nifty tool to add to your development toolkit. Divi Dashboard Welcome comes complete with five pre-styled Dashboard layouts that you could simply insert and edit, or you could easily create your own.

With Divi Dashboard Welcome, you’re able to customize the rather unattractive default appearance of the WordPress dashboard and use the Divi Builder to personalize the interface. Here, you’re able to insert any of the modules available through the Divi Builder; including contact forms, icons and text blurbs and images; and custom style them to suit either your or your client’s brand guidelines and design style.

This could be a great soft-sell for you and your web design services; making sure that your clients are constantly reminded about your service offerings and are given easy queues as to how to contact you and refer your services further. Or, by engineering the Dashboard to fit your client’s needs, you could assist them in streamlining the management of their content operations by giving them quick links to important posting or editing features, or, leave them important notes or useful links and videos, if need be.

Compatible with both the Divi and Extra themes, purchase the Divi Dashboard Welcome plugin for $ 22.00 from either Monterey Premier or Divi Space.

We hope that this list has helped answer a few queries or concerns that you might have had.
