Divi Blog Extras – A plugin to enhance Divi blog layout

Editor’s Note: This post about Divi Blog Module has been updated on 20 Feb 2020 for accuracy and comprehensiveness.

Here’s the brand-new and desired plugin for Divi WordPress theme called Divi Blog Extras. This 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 blog layouts according to your need.

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,

• 

  Standard layout of divi blog archive

• 

  Full width layout of divi blog archive

• 

  grid layout of divi category archive

After the application of Divi Blog Extras, this is what can be achieved for the category pages.

• 

  Divi Category Layout 1

• 

  Divi Category Layout 2

• 

  Divi Category Layout 3

• 

  Divi Category Layout 4

• 

  Divi Category Layout 5

• 

  Divi Category Layout 6

• 

  Divi Category Layout 7

This beautiful transformation of the category archive pages can give a very balanced look and feel, to high design-oriented sites.
