Here's the official Divi installation video by Elegant Themes.

• If you haven't used Divi before we highly recommend you watch this video by Elegant Themes, which introduces the Divi Builder and will help you understand the basic principles of the Divi page builder.

• Working with Divi Builder is impressively intuitive, so you may well find you can just get stuck in and learn as you go, but if you would like a little more guidance then the Divi Basics section of the Elegant Themes Divi Documentation area has excellent walkthroughs that will give you a thorough overview.

Visit our demo site here.

• The free Google fonts used are Lato, Raleway, and Bentham. You can download all Google fonts here.
• The plugin WooCommerce is recommended with this theme but is optional if you do not need a store function.
• If you would like to use the Home Page Two layout or Splash Page Layout, you will also need Sticky Menu, prompted on install.
• Our demo makes use of the Divi-included Bloom plugin for a newsletter signup.  Visit the Plugins section for details on how to get set up with Bloom.

MENU SETTINGS

• The main navigation menu on our demo uses scrolling links for menu items ABOUT, CLIENTS and CONTACT with the anchors #about #clients and #contact.

For help with setting up menu items go here and for help with link URLs go here.

PROJECTS SETTINGS

This template makes use of Projects for the client information sections.

• Once you’ve created the projects you will need to configure the settings of the filterable portfolio module on the portfolio page and the portfolio module on home page one. It’s rather like when you configure a blog module – you have to set each module to fetch categories of products you want display there.

SPLASH & HOME PAGE SETTINGS

• For the home page two and splash pages to have the top menu and footer bar hidden as on our demo, select Blank Page from the Template drop down list in the Page Attributes area.

STICKY MENU PLUGIN SETTINGS

• To get the sticky menu staying stuck, go to Settings > Sticky Menu and enter #stickymenu in the Sticky Element area (try saying that quickly on a Friday night).

• While you’re here, go to the Advanced Settings tab and set the Z-index to 99999 to make sure the menu stays on the top layer.

A visit to the settings of the Sticky Menu module on the page will show that stickymenu anchor under Custom CSS > CSS ID, in case you were wondering how that worked.

On the dashboard, go to Settings and take a look around the settings areas.  There are a couple of things you will want to get configured right away.

Go to Settings > Reading. 

• In the Front page displays area select A static page.  Set the Front page to be HOME or whatever other crazy name you've given the page you want people to land on first.

• If you are planning to use the theme's included blog layout (rather than let WordPress autogenerate the blog page) leave the Posts page as -Select- and click the blue Save Changes button before you move on.

Go to Settings > Permalinks. 

• Select Post name as your permalink setting - we find this one works best for most sites.  Save Changes before you leave.

Go to Divi > Theme Options and have a look around.

• Most of what you need for now will be in the General Settings tab.

• This is where you set your Logo image, enter your social media Profile URLs and select your Colour Pickers Default Palette.

• You can also add your social media links here

Go to Divi > Theme Customizer

• The sidebar on the left gives you access to global settings for all sorts of aspects of your site. On the right is your site, so you can see the effect of any changes you make in real time.

• Work through the tabs, methodically changing colours, fonts and any other controls to reflect your brand.

• To update your Favicon image, go to Site Identity > Site Icon area. Just make sure the file is 512px x 512px and is a png or jpg!

• One you will want to get to is Footer > Bottom Bar > EDIT FOOTER CREDITS (unless of course you want us to take the credit in perpetuity for your website in all its glory).

• The controls in the bottom left corner are super handy for taking a look at how your site will appear on different device screens.

• Click on the blue Save & Publish button at the top left when you're happy with any changes you make in here

• Most of our templates contain navigation links that use URLs.

• When you install your template they are set up to link to our demo site. You will need to edit the URLs to link to your own content.

• You'll know if you missed a URL link edit when you click a link in your site and find yourself feeling puzzled and looking at our demo site again!

• In the Special Features section you will find some pointers on where to look for URLs that will require editing for your template.

• Links may be to pages, posts or external links. You'll find the URL in the settings for the module that has the link.

• Scrolling links (the ones that take you to a particular place on a page) have #whatever at the end of the URL. You should leave that #ending untouched because it works with a CSS ID anchor we have included.

• You can also make your own scrolling links by inserting the anchor word of your choice in the CSS ID setting for a section, row or module.

Our recommended image sizes (longest side) are:

• Full width images: 1920px
• Gallery images :1200px
• Blog post images and images for central content: 1080px

Go to Media > Media Library.  You will see the images that came with the download - they are there as place holders only and won't be needed once you've got your own fabulous images uploaded.  It's really easy to upload your own image files by clicking Add New and using drag and drop or Select Files according to preference.

• Go ahead and upload some of your own images so that you can use them to start making your theme your own.

• To change an image displayed by a module go to its settings and edit Image URL,  Background Image URL or the Gallery associated with the module.

• To change an image displayed by a widget (in sidebar and footer areas) go to Appearance > Widgets and edit settings for the widget.

• For a little more help with images head to our Further Learning area, or for a lot more help, sign up for our SiteSchool course.

There are a whole lot of ways to work with fonts in Divi, but let's keep it as simple as possible.

• There is a large selection of native fonts that come along with Divi, which represent about 2/3 of the free Google Fonts selection. These are the fonts that appear on drop-down selection lists for fonts within Divi Builder.

• Custom fonts, not native to Divi, may be free or paid-for downloads. Google Fonts, Font Squirrel and Creative Market are all good sources.  It is good practice to use only fonts which you have a license to use for the web.

• In the Special Features section we include a list of the fonts used in the demo for your template. Wherever possible we use Google fonts, which are free to download and use. Any non-native fonts you want to use will need to be installed as custom fonts.

UPLOADING CUSTOM FONTS

• Divi supports uploading of custom fonts and you can do this through any text module, via the font selector. Once uploaded the font will become available in all font selectors.
• Note. Many WordPress installs natively block the upload of custom fonts (and other file types that aren't images). You can edit your WordPress functions.php file to temporarily allow font uploads. Once your font is uploaded, you should delete the script which might weaken your website security.

  This tutorial from Elegant Themes shows you how to do it. 

Our child themes usually contain a small amount of custom code (CSS) to give your theme some finishing touches.

We have written the least possible code required and annotated it clearly so that you can update it easily if you need to. Importantly, changes you make to our CSS won't be affected when you update the Divi parent theme or your Design Space template.

Go to Appearance > Editor. In the Select theme to edit dropdown at top right select your theme.

• CSS code looks a little intimidating, but it's really truly OK and not scary once you start to get familiar with the terminology.

• We recommend that any additional CSS is entered below ours, for clarity.

• If you would like to test a change in your browser without making it live, we recommend using Chrome Developer Tools or the FireFox browser extension Firebug.

• For further help with CSS sign up for our SiteSchool course.

MONARCH SOCIAL SHARE & FOLLOW PLUGIN

• MONARCH is a plugin for social follow and share buttons that is included with your Elegant Themes membership. You can add share and follow buttons to pages, posts, sidebars and footer areas.
• You will need to go into Tools > Monarch Settings to configure this plugin.

INSTAGRAM FEED

Showing your Instagram Feed is really easy. We recommend this free plugin.

Instagram Feed by Smash Balloon.

Tip: Make sure you have logged into Instagram in your browser, then follow the three simple steps and place the suggested shortcode [instagram_feed] in any text or code module, where you'd like your feed to appear.

You can also check out this blog post about How to Add An Instagram Feed to Your Website.

If you're seeing this Style Sheet Misssing message check when you tried to upload to the themes area, you need to upload the installer file to the Plugins area and delete the plugin after installation.

First, make sure you have some blog posts and some categories assigned to them. Next, locate the blog module and in its General Settings select the post categories you would like displayed by the module.  Save & Exit, Update.

Go to Settings > Reading and make sure that your Posts page is set to blank. If you have allocated Posts to your blog page, that will override your Divi page layout.

Our recommended image sizes (longest side) are:

• Full width images: 1920px
• Gallery images :1200px
• Blog post images and images for central content: 1080px

Go to Media > Media Library.  You will see the images that came with the download - they are there as place holders only and won't be needed once you've got your own fabulous images uploaded.  It's really easy to upload your own image files by clicking Add New and using drag and drop or Select Files according to preference.

• Go ahead and upload some of your own images so that you can use them to start making your theme your own.

• To change an image displayed by a module go to its settings and edit Image URL,  Background Image URL or the Gallery associated with the module.

• To change an image displayed by a widget (in sidebar and footer areas) go to Appearance > Widgets and edit settings for the widget.
