Media files, star rating module, bot traffic, owned content, AI agent manager, Krita, Iceland photographer, Telegram and punk health. Loyal readers know that we’ve discussed Divi’s massive transformation to Divi 5. I’ve built a few new sites with it and migrated a few others. There are other sites using Divi add-ons that also need to be updated and I believe most of those will be available within the next month and a couple were just released. In some ways I’m excited because I can really do some cool new things with sites, but I also know the migration of those sites will be more complex. Check out all of this week’s news in the stories below.

For those of you in the world of Web design, I invite you to join our new Divi Unleashed Facebook group.
