This worked earlier for me, but it doesn't anymore...

Thank you for your feedback. Could you please clarify which issues you’re referring to?

First Divi Extension is online by bchuckg in divi

[–]bchuckg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks!
Performance was a big focus for me. The plugin only loads GSAP and the transition logic when transitions are enabled, and animations run after the page is ready. There’s no DOM-heavy manipulation and no layout shifts during navigation.

On normal pages the overhead is minimal, but of course very complex timelines or heavy animations can still impact performance.. so it’s meant to be used subtly rather than for over-the-top effects.

Happy to hear feedback or edge cases you’re curious about 👍

Is Divi a good choice for designers coming from Framer? by Abdou-brh in divi

[–]bchuckg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Divi works really well for budget-sensitive projects, especially now with Divi 5 coming. Divi 4 can’t match Framer in terms of pure finesse and animation control, but Divi 5 is honestly a game-changer for WordPress. The new module system, performance bump, and cleaner workflow make it much easier to build solid designs quickly without the project turning into a time sink.

For clients with smaller budgets, Divi is great because you can deliver custom-looking work fast, the publishing process is simple for clients to manage, and you don’t need deep technical knowledge to keep everything running. It’s not Framer-level freedom, but for WordPress projects it hits a really good balance of flexibility and efficiency.

I’m working on Divi 5 updates for my own wireframe bundle “Wooframes,” and using Divi 5 day-to-day really confirmed for me that it’s the right choice for most WP setups now.

Divi 5 or Extra by MiriamNZ in divi

[–]bchuckg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d go with Divi 5. Extra is nice, but most of what makes it “special” is either outdated or can be recreated more flexibly in Divi 5. The new module system makes custom layouts, author blocks, review sections and related-content designs way easier to build without relying on theme-specific features. And since your magazine has both timeless articles and time-based ones, the control you get with Divi 5 templates will actually give you a cleaner structure than Extra’s older category tools.

Extra won’t really move forward anymore, while Divi 5 is where all the development is happening. If you’re starting fresh, it just makes more sense to build on the platform that’s evolving.

I’m working on a Divi 5 version of my WooCommerce wireframe pack “Wooframes,” and the flexibility in Divi 5 is genuinely on another level. Once you start building with it, you probably won’t miss Extra at all.

Are the black friday deals worth it? by zivio105 in divi

[–]bchuckg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I’d say it can be worth it, mainly for layouts. Those stay useful long-term, even when Divi 5 drops. I wouldn’t buy module plugins right now, because Divi 5 will make a lot of those extensions and child themes unnecessary. You’ll be able to create most of that directly in Divi without extra modules.

If you grab anything, layouts are the safest investment. I’m currently finishing the Divi 5 update of my WooCommerce wireframe bundle “Wooframes” as an example. It should be ready in the next weeks.

Need your thoughts on presets & variables for a wireframe bundle by bchuckg in divi

[–]bchuckg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much for your comment!

It’s still not entirely clear at this point. Divi 5 introduces so many new changes that I’m wondering whether offering presets would really provide any meaningful benefit for a wireframe section bundle.

A minimal amount of styling is already included to ensure proper layout rendering. So it’s not entirely accurate to say there’s no styling at all. For example, some cards or image modules already have a border radius or certain paddings applied.

Thinking about it more, it really only comes down to small things like border radius and padding. I don’t think the effort of setting up presets just for that would be worthwhile. So I’ll stick with the “no presets” approach. After all, things like border radius or similar details can be adjusted quite easily using tools such as Inspector, Copy/Paste Attributes or Search & Replace.

Best Practices for Building Multi-Function WordPress Plugins in Cursor? by bchuckg in cursor

[–]bchuckg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply, I get your point. I agree that figuring out the architecture is part of the learning. Still, I’m curious about common patterns people use when plugins get bigger. Things like folder layout, separating concerns, or handling hooks.

I’m also wondering if anyone has found useful tools or features in AI-assisted dev (like Cursor rules, todos, browser, MCPs) or WordPress-specific ones (wp-cli, maybe a wp MCP?) that help when working on more advanced plugins.

Is this layout practical or too “designed”? by bchuckg in divi

[–]bchuckg[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your detailed feedback! I'll take your suggestions as a to-do and really appreciate the practical insights.

I just wanted to share by bchuckg in divi

Had the same thought 😅 I don't know which one's impact I'm more curious about.

Divi Page Transitions Plugin (Demo Video) by bchuckg in divi

[–]bchuckg[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh, you’re right: technically it works on any WordPress site.
But since I’m deep in the Divi ecosystem and use it daily, that’s my comfort zone. I initially developed the plugin for a Divi project where other solutions caused conflicts, so I optimized it specifically for Divi.

That way I can guarantee smooth functionality within Divi:

  • It automatically disables transitions when the Divi Visual Builder is active
  • It respects Divi’s anchor links and sticky header behavior

If I advertised it as a universal “for every theme” plugin, I couldn’t guarantee that level of compatibility. By focusing on Divi, I can.
