10 Best Plugins for Divi!

[Music] hey guys it's uh josh with j m web creations sorry i haven't been making um videos in a while this videos is going to be about um what i think are the best paid divi plug-ins just have a bunch of features and just some cool plugins that i've used and a couple i haven't but i've um really want or have been uh recommended by others um also we'll be probably doing a video i built a new computer which is awesome so that's what i'm uh putting doing this on um kind of show people that if you don't have any experience you can still build a computer save some money for you and kind of have a fun experience so the first one i got here i'll start to show you is um divi supreme this is my go-to plugin pretty much every site i put this on previously they have like an um a thing that allowed for you to make a footer in the divi builder and then put it on the bottom or a top header something like that 404 page now the theme builder is there so you don't really have to have that and they've actually taken that out but that was one of the reasons i put on every site but they just have so many different features that it really makes for an awesome plugin um some of the things i use all the time and this this site or this uh plugin is made by ken uh ing i believe that's correct it's nvidia's last name um he updates it all the time always putting new stuff on it just really good at customer service he'll try to get things fixed as fast as possible if there's issues um always helpful so the main things i've used facebook feed i have used that on one or two sites um the embed google maps that's kind of nice with the divi one you have to put in your info and stuff your uh maybe it's api i think and they made that api paid or somewhat paid after a certain amount of usage so this just allows you to embed it without using that api i believe um let's see some other cool things here you got your twitter stuff um the typing effect kind of cool um it you sometimes see that in website i don't know if i've actually used that um let's see floating multi images i actually that's this right here i use that on my own site it's kind of cool uh kind of a weird feature see real quick image carousel and card paracel image carousel works good for your um like brands and stuff like that if you want to show what you've done the card carousel works well or basically blurbs putting blurbs up which is kind of cool uh other things i've used the business hours that's pretty basic but it's easy to use and change hours quickly have some good features the main one i use and the reason i put it on site all the time it's called airforms i use caldera forms basically exclusively for my forms um and this allows you to make it look good right in the divi builder so that is super awesome um they also have contact form seven if you use that one as well as it says more coming soon all the time this one is probably their newest there's supreme lottie lottie is some kind of like um svg uh source for a bunch of like i don't believe they're svg's um kind of animations and stuff that you can use and this allows you to put them in there which is kind of cool i haven't used it but kind of neat then they have the actual extensions this allows you the divi scheduled element allows you to take a section row column module and tell it okay i wanted to post on this time not really post but they show up on this date and to come down at this time so or show up between these hours stuff like that library short codes for accordions and stuff in divi you can't use the divi builder for single accordion items so what you do is make a divi library item like a layout and then it gives you a short code id you pop that in the text thing and voila you got that going div easy theme builder that's i'm kinda cool totally new haven't used it at all yet allows you to do some things with the header that have been kind of a pain in the butt library widget i haven't really used that just allows you to put a library divi library item a layout inside of a sidebar or footer widget um i don't use too many of those and sometimes maybe a sidebar but you can use that last thing is well actually two things but adobe pop-up this is kind of cool um you if you click on a button or something if you have it set pops up whatever your information is or picture whatever modules the content you want and the last one they have is the dv read more that essentially if you have a really long um thing and you don't want it to be so long of text you can have a read more on it slides down kind of cool kind of something different um and yeah the pricing on that one it's not super cheap it's not expensive when you see how much it does i mean i you can get this one i don't have the unlimited agency i do the yearly but yeah you might want to do that if you want to go there uh the next one if it's called um dewey body commer this and this plug-in is made by uh peter won wilkinson and he has um he's the head of divi engine this site he has some other plugins here that are kind of cool i've used dim nitro it's a speed plug-in gotta be cautious of what you turn on and off on that um because it can mess up your side just like hang speed plug-in i've used divi mega menu um i haven't used the other two but some cool things here by far i think is coolest is the divi body commerce and this plugin is just super helpful it's amazing what it can do if you have an ecommerce site and you're using woocommerce with divi with the new theme builder they allowed you to style from pages so some of this isn't as relevant but he has so many other features that it is well worth it um well like an ajax add to cart which is like if there's card up here you press add to cart boom it keeps you on that page and it puts it right in your cart kind of like shopify does custom checkout fields i've used it it's a little limited but it's kind of nice [Music] you just have a few free layout packs so you can get started this the one thing this is this has a big learning curve and so it's a little confusing at first he has some good documentation good videos that help with that so that's really cool um but yeah you can even have like a sharing icon in there for sharing it to facebook or something like that um you have like login pages category pages checkout pages lost password pages i believe that you can do yeah password reset template one of the things that's awesome that none of the other ones have is the email template the thoughts for me to make it look how you want it to then that would be the email that's emailed out to like a customer or could tell you that you have a new customer that just bought um let's see one of the things okay so they're divi yeah they give you product page color category page color tags paper module 16 modules for woocommerce um bodycommerce has 61 modules and it does get a little like i said confusing there's so many modules but they all have their purpose and you really know how to do it it can make it pretty awesome um looks like it's multi-language compatible has all kinds of cool stuff compared to divi kingdom and wu layout injector i don't know if those are really being updated much these days so body commerce is i think by far the way to go it has just so many features that these other ones don't and a lot of times they'll show the features they have and once these guys don't but not really show the ones they don't have that these kids do that's not really the case there's pretty much everything that these two have body commerce has what everything as you can see but so much more and um that says how this is that was updated 11 28 19. i don't know when the last update is for divi by commerce but it's in the past day or so we just had some new fixes or minor ticks it's just some cool changes to it um i think it was at least within last week so he updates his stuff and he's really good at customer service always getting back to you um the third one is not divvy specific it is called acf advanced custom fields um sorry i'm talking so fast i'm trying not to make this stupid but um hopefully it doesn't get too long this is advanced custom fields this has a free version oh and divi spring does have a free version so you could try it out but it's i don't think it has any of the extensions and way more limited maybe a half or two-thirds of the modules um acf you don't know what custom field does or is this it might be a little confusing on website you'll have on your wordpress play you'll have like posts pages stuff like that you have media those are all really custom post types if you have let's say a testimonial plugin you put that testimonial plugin it might add another thing here that says testimonials and then you add in each testimonial easily kind of like adding a blog post well if you have that custom post type in there and there's another free plugin just to add that sometimes you want these custom fields in there it might be a date it might be a link it might be a picture so let's say i have a picture i always want the first picture that isn't my featured picture i would be able to add a second field for another image or if i have a link that always goes in this certain spot um i could add the link in there and i would have that within the blog not blog post but the custom post page and then i just put type in my link and boom it automatically places it within the page i'll show you kind of how that works if you don't know what as a post type is probably in this the most confusing thing um this is a custom post type this is my custom post type for free agents this would be like from the sci-fi built um let's go to the toasted owl so on this the custom post this is going to be the title and this would be all the time it has a tile it has a image here you may have used a featured image for that type of project and then type of project would always be there just automatically i don't have to put that in i don't have to design any of this layout it's all like this and then i just type in website redesign then it has the text box where i can put stuff and the last thing on this this is really simple custom post type um or custom fields is going to be a link so anytime i put this in here what it's going to do is i go to my site and add it i'm sorry about that that was my phone um i go and add this post and i add a link boom boom whatever that link is and it automatically connects visit the website of whatever it is in this case it's the toasted owl and then it links to the toasted owl that website um so if i go back and i go to very kinsey's side um same here visit the website of gary kinsey and just takes essentially that puts it here and so yeah it just makes things easier for in the future um but this allows you to put in those custom field this is probably the best one the most comprehensive for that it does have free but doesn't let you do everything um i do have the pro so this is very nice in the future when you if you're just starting out you may not use custom post types but learn about them they have a lot of features and help you save a lot of time um there is another plugin called pod says free that i've used before as well um i now have the pro of this so this works well so on to our third plugin this is the page builder cloud um let's see what this allows it's kind of cool is you put in the plug-in and you save layout to it basically that saves it to cloud and when you put this plug-in on another site then you can take that layout and just throw it right into your your site um and it's not just frequently they have gutenberg elementor beaver builder brizzy blah blah blah um this was made by divi guy though so it's kind of what i know about it and i do have it and then also like i said i use caldera forms there's called air forms there's advanced custom fields but if you want to pull stuff out and have it it's right there if you want to set up your forms all the time essentially the same way this would be the way to do it and then you could just pop it over in i believe they actually allow you to use um some code as well you can it doesn't say this in here but there's a code one so you can just save your code that you use all the time whether that css or jquery or something like that and so this allows you to do that and take a layout from one site and put it on many different sites whatever you wanted it even gives you a little like um picture of what that layout looks like so it's really easy to go through it and you can tag them stuff like that our fourth plugin this is kind of specific um this is va creative who makes says nelson lane miller i've known for a little while um he has a couple plugins here divi timer pro and then divi's responsive helper that allows you to see your site in all different sizes scale divi events calendar is probably the most and this is a very specific plugin but it's kind of most interesting i think i actually did a review when he was building this i helped him kind of get it um ready and tell him that changes i thought need to make be made so i helped him with that my friend actually christian he helped him as well um so what this is is the events calendar it's used by a lot of people it's a free plug-in they do have a pro but with this you don't need the pro um version this allows you to take this plug-in do the events calendar that makes events for you or you put your events in this allows you to install them with the divi builder and make them look however you want make them look great let's view the demo real quick so yeah this would be oh you pop in a new one in here and it goes to the top view the details of a new um one oh and here's the page like and how it look and there's different ways he has different demos or different ways you can make this look so just makes this stuff a lot easier where it was kind of kind of a pain in the butt to use with divi but if you need events for your customers or yourself this could help a lot and so you just pay for this you wouldn't have to actually pay for the events calendar as well on to the next one um this is wp and divi icons jimmy space makes some cool plugins i don't know how often they update they had sj james stephen i think his name was he was their head coder and he did a ton of stuff made of done plugins for him um he's no longer with him he's doing some charity stuff so i do still use this one um i'll just show you basically you have a very limited amount of icons in divi this allows you to put 2 500 more and there's 400 colored ones i believe it is 400 plus excuse me 400 custom designed icons so these icons some of them will be black and white as you can see there's just a bunch more of their black and white there's also these kind of cool colored ones um you have three colors you can change it and you see now that color is there now let's put a blue there's that let's make it purple and so that's the colors we have in here so you can match these icons to your site which is pretty cool and i've used this quite a bit um they do have a bunch of other plugins that are great um db switch which just makes random little changes in your site just makes things that everybody wants a lot easier the divi doesn't do um divi rock is a speed plug-in page builder everywhere is allows you to it's not as useful now the divi theme builder but allows you to put stuff in the accordion or something kind of like we had talked about a couple other things in here um the dv extras extra theme is part of elegant themes but divi doesn't have some of the features so this allows you to put some of the features of extras straight into your divi site which is kind of cool um ghoster makes it so your site is supposed to be so the customer won't know divi which i don't really care i actually sell based on divi tell them this is i think this is the easiest way to do it i've had people um call me because i do speculize and divvy so um but we'll go on from here you can actually do a membership that's what i have a lifetime membership so i get pretty much everything on here um next one is the divi accordion um blush this is a really cool plugin divi accordions are kind of lame um they're okay they work okay but they just don't have much styling you can do this allows you in the divi builder to do a cool a lot of cool different things as you can see put a little um icon here um just do a lot of things this rolls around this you can move over to here you can do just all kinds of stuff like this is one single one as you can see it just does all kinds of crazy stuff um so there's a lot of cool things you can do i've used this for a restaurant menu which actually worked pretty well um one kind of like this for different things like drinks or whatever um they can pop down so the page wasn't so long with the menu on there um but yeah this is cool i think it's delicious i don't know cpt layout injector um this is kind of cool and i've used it before now with acf i really probably don't need to but um this is from sean barton elegant marketplace and if you have a custom post type this allows you to make divi layout and pop it in there um not as valuable because there is a theme builder but still something i've used it has some different features than the theme builder so it can work for things if you need um next one the last two here i have not actually used but they're stuff that comes highly recommended they're really cool things that i just haven't bought um just didn't have the money again my stupid phone um but the first one here is divi toolbox um it isn't super cheap uh well it is a lifetime update so it's only six months or 169 euros um it's actually made by divi lover um anya i think her name is um but there's something some kind of contract with b3 multimedia so they put it out allows you to do a bunch of cool things just a random little thing um like different areas of your site add more circle icons little pop-ups sticky element um moving particles which is kind of weird but um could be kind of neat reloaders which doesn't have in divi springs some of these things are in divi supreme also just has a lot of little things that make it easier to get little changes on your site so it doesn't look as much like just the divi side um some blog post stuff make those look good easily um some other little tweaks and stuff so that's pretty cool um having used it but it looks really neat has some cool stuff going on with it um the last one is divi overlays um and this is by divi life this is um tim streichler um he is on the divi chat like podcast youtube um channel and he's always on there every two weeks but he's made some really cool plugins just divvy overlays is great it's basically pop-up like that and you can do all kinds of stuff with it there's exit intent ones that make it let's see this one may not have it um but like you press a button and something pops up the content you want and then you can click out of it or a little subscribe thing pops up like that or and then um there is exit intent so let's say it doesn't have it on this one but you can set it so if someone's going up towards here if they leave it something pops up to get grab their attention um divi supreme also has pop-ups i don't think that's good i think it's the second best one probably i've used some other plugins that either over time don't work anymore because they don't update or just never really work that great um so from what i understand i this is a really nice plug-in um works really well he has some other cool ones um i trust him he's always updating and within the community a lot the divi bar is kind of cool may not be as useful now because of the theme builder but this allows you to do these little thumbs up [Music] on this page maybe no um i thought it was on this page i guess not but allows you to put up these little things that pop up and then you can flick out of um stuff like that um here but it would be kind of top things you could probably do this with the divi theme builder now but probably a bit more difficult you probably have to have some jquery from coding to do that um he's also has i think the free one this divi coming soon i think is the maintenance mode for give you you can just make a page and it shows up with you know that's your page right now until your site you can lock down your site until it actually is ready to go i believe that one's free dvd mega pro is kind of cool it's like uh mega menus so you can make like these that drop down have a divi layout within there so yeah there's some really cool um stuff out there um some really cool plugins let me know if you have some of your favorites um this is the paid one though a couple of them have the acf has free and uh one more has free oh divi supreme has a free version like i said before um but yeah let me know what your favorite things are if you thought i missed some things if you don't like these let me know why or what's going on with them if you had issues with them um yeah so hopefully you liked it and hopefully i can start doing some videos again um but um yeah been super busy so you guys have a great day sorry my dog's in the back there snoring yeah have a good night
