Changelog
Added
- new Grid Editor, enabling the visual creation of advanced grid layouts.
- support for number variables in the grid offset editor.
- Theme Builder Playwright smoke tests to the Builder 5 CI pipeline.
- a Playwright smoke test that verified the Theme Builder admin screen loads.
Other
- Individual grid offset editor rules now support the full range of start, end, and span settings in a single rule.
- WooCommerce checkout pages built with Divi checkout modules now render one consistent checkout form instead of multiple competing checkout forms.
- Woo Product Gallery now exposes Design -> Image -> Sizing -> Column Class and keeps wrapped flex gallery item sizing aligned between the frontend and Visual Builder.
- Internal test coverage only; no customer-facing changelog.
- Imported legacy Text modules now preserve the expected Open Sans body weight during import so frontend rendering matches freshly created Text modules.
Fixed
- columns getting consolidated when switching the layout style from flex to grid when editing a row preset.
- grid offset rules not being copied to presets when creating new presets from current styles.
- minimum column width CSS not printing when set at the module level, when "equal minimum width columns" was set at the preset level.
- sections remaining hidden when section animation was enabled but duration and delay were stored as empty values.
- Theme Builder loops using the “current page” query on 404 pages incorrectly showing recent blog posts instead of the no-results state.
- Button Line Color and Button Line Style being unavailable when editing hover or sticky states after enabling underline on the normal state.
- an issue where nested Blurb modules could display the wrong icon in Visual Builder preview due to parent icon style leakage.
- ACF Color Picker dynamic content not displaying the correct text and decoration colors in the Visual Builder, so on-canvas styles now match the resolved colors shown on the live site.
- the Layer view drop zone indicator and drag handle label being invisible in dark mode when dragging regular modules.
- an issue where module settings reset/default values could show module preset styles instead of the applied option group preset styles.
- an issue where custom button icons did not appear on the Contact Form 7 Styler module submit button in the Visual Builder and on the front end.
- Dropdown mega-menu positioning and sizing so floating menus can reliably align to parent row or viewport width across columns.
- frontend module order classes not starting at zero after layout migration.
- an issue where Code Module curly-quote HTML entities rendered correctly in Visual Builder but not on the frontend.
- an issue where CTA modules with AnalyticsWP tracking enabled could enter backward compatibility mode after Divi 4 to Divi 5 migration.
- Visual Builder REST responses exposing Instagram tokens and accepting invalid Post Navigation post contexts.
- an issue where Video modules could fail to render YouTube videos when a video is added via Insert from URL in the media modal.
Improved

- performance of variable font weight inheritance.
