Divi integration within Gutenberg

Divi has released a feature that changes everything, adding DIVI blocks inside Gutenberg

Why do I say that it changes everything?

It may sound exaggerated, but it is a very important strategic change since Gutenberg is no longer seen as a rival, but rather integrated into him.

It is human and logical that DIVI saw Gutenberg as a rival, since it is a visual editor and also powered by WordPress itself.

A war destined to fail

It would not only be a bloody war, but also destined to lose.

How can you win a war against the default WordPress editor? It can not

The path that DIVI has opened is the one that I think the rest of the visual editors will choose.

Users will be the ones who are going to enjoy this movement the most since they are going to have to improve the visual editors a lot so that it is worth installing them.

When you are editing a page or post instead of using Divi's visual editor you use the default editor:

divi gutenberg block

When you choose the block of DiviLayout allows you to create a new one or choose a layout from the library:

choose divi layout

And once we get to this screen we work as we always do in Divi

Mix Gutenberg and DIVI blocks

What has surprised me the most about the integration of Divi as a Gutenberg block is that you can mix blocks from the WordPress editor with Divi.

For example, I can create several columns with Gutenberg and in each column add a Divi block:

divi gutenberg columns

You can add as many normal Gutenberg and Divi blocks as you want and intermingle

Import Saved Blocks

Another very useful functionality is the possibility of having designs that we usually use saved in the Divi library.

Really interesting what we are going to live with the visual editors for WordPress 😉
