Here’s the brand-new and desired plugin for the Divi WordPress theme called Divi Blog Extras. This Divi blog plugin aims to add an extra blog module in the library to create beautiful archive pages. You can use this module as the native Divi blog module that can be included on a page using Divi Builder. And then generate the best Divi blog layouts according to your needs.
We developed this plugin because we wanted users who create websites using Divi theme to have more options to style their blog archive pages. Here is how the category pages look like created using the default Divi blog module,
After the application of Divi Blog Extras, this is what can be achieved for the category pages.
This beautiful transformation of the category archive pages can give a very balanced look and feel, to high design-oriented sites.
