![]() There are things about Divi that drive me nuts. And they keep increasing their lead with all the new features, freebies, video tutorials, etc that they keep putting out. But again, in the battle between X and Divi, Divi is on top and ahead right now. I haven’t played too much with the other visual builders yet, and maybe they’re better. I was looking up how to fix something that broke on X (surprise surprise) and saw this review in the results. Their new system combines support and account info which is fine, but in the process, they destroyed the simplicity of the public support forums and made it more complicated than it needed to be. In yet another idiotic move, they closed down those forums or archived them, and introduced some Apex system with support tickets, which, at the time, took forever to get answers on. I never, ever had a problem finding an answer to even the most advanced coding issue I was trying to solve. Before, you could go on their support forums at any time and ask for or search out code that did something you needed. Speaking of support, that was also one of the things that was upsetting about X. They have the better product between the two, better pricing, better freebies, dare I say, even better support. In the battle between Divi and X, Divi has won. ![]() I think recently they announced the ability to create your own elements or something. They also keep releasing free templates that make starting up a new site stupid simple. They’ve come a long way since the first couple versions and have done a better job of adding ways to add custom code. I’ve switched to Divi for new client projects. It went from simple to complex overnight and a lot of clients hated that they had to dig through endless amounts of settings and options to do simple changes they were able to do in 3 seconds before. Then as more updates came, they started adding the complicated elements of Pro into the regular version and replaced the simple but effective visual builder with the complicated and frustrating one from Pro. I thought ok, I’ll just keep using the regular version and avoid Pro. At the time, they had a lot of the new features and interface in Pro. tco-element in the new versions, which also broke a lot of custom coding that needed to be fixed. They changed some of the CSS classes from. That all changed when they released that big update that split the theme into basic and pro. It was a nice bridge between visual builders and coding. I loved that it was a visual theme like Divi, but allowed for custom coding if you wanted to get things just right. Nonetheless, the convoluted interface they added took away from the simplicity of the theme. That all changed when they split it into X and X Pro, which they then had to rename to just Pro because apparently there was something else already called X Pro. I thought it was better than Divi at the time. I was a big fan of X after discovering it in 2015 and used it for my site, as well as many client sites. ![]() I would argue that they are ahead of Divi in this area and don’t see that in the review. X has made sure that there is a wide selection of plugins tested and proven to work with X. There is nothing else out there that comes close to Divi.įinally, it is extremely important to make sure your builder/theme is going to work well with the rest of your wordpress site and plugins. I don’t have experience with Divi support but with X support I get very quick responses and there is an extensive forum of issues to search.ĭivi is awesome but I don’t understand the lack of acknowledgment to X. In-line editing was rolled out today actually.Īlso, many of the complaints are about X being complicated but there has been a “simple editing” implemented and compared to Divi just looks like a different interface to me (I do like certain parts of Divi’s UI better). I would do another update to this article because there are many more features in X now…and even before the last update on this article. Thanks for the review and love your site…
