Overview and cause

If you are using a Divi Extended plugin (such as Divi Gallery Extended, Divi Blog Extras, Divi Plus, etc.) that is fully compatible with Divi 5, you may still see a “Compatibility Mode” or “Incompatible Module” notice on existing pages that were originally created in Divi 4.

This occurs because Divi 5 requires a page-level migration update to convert older Divi 4 shortcode markup into the new Divi 5 block format.

How to resolve (step-by-step)

To complete the migration and remove the compatibility warning, follow these simple steps:

1. Edit the Existing Page: Open the affected page in the standard WordPress Page Editor.
2. Update/Save the Page: Click the Update (or Save) button once without making any changes.
   (This action triggers Divi 5’s automatic layout conversion for all modules on the page).
3. Re-open in Divi 5 Builder: Launch the Visual Builder in Divi 5 again.

The compatibility prompt will disappear, and the module will load natively in Divi 5 format without needing compatibility mode.

Pro-tip for new pages in Divi 5

When you create a brand-new page directly in Divi 5, all Divi Extended modules will load natively in Divi 5 format automatically—no re-saving or migration steps required!
