Divi theme and Divi Builder

Updated February 14, 2023

NOTE: This article is deprecated. I do not support using the Divi Builder or any other WordPress page builders anymore.

The Divi Builder is a drag & drop page builder plugin sold by Elegant Themes which can be used in just about any theme. It helps people that have no coding experience build great pages just by clicking and dragging stuff around.

The Genesis framework, by StudioPress is one of the most stable and popular theme frameworks available on which developers build their themes, usually called “child” themes.  You don’t have to be a developer to use the Genesis framework.  There are dozens of ready to use child themes available sold by StudioPress and others.  Genesis is now open source, so you can get it for free. You can use the Genesis Sample child theme which is also free to download. Here I will show you how you can use the Divi Builder plugin with the WordPress Genesis framework to easily build full-width homepages for your website.
