WP Engine vs Automattic, Divi AI Agents, Divi Meetup, content distribution, Google AI mode, Photoshop AI and YouTube changes. Divi 5 became official back in February and it was a big deal to migrate sites from older versions. I’ve now migrated all sites that I actively manage and that means I’m able to take advantage of new features along with the speed boost. Some of the new features come from third-party tools such as FluentCart and Directorist as they have added Divi-specific modules. If you’re curious, I’ll be talking about those new additions next week at the Divi Chicago meetup and I want you to join us! There was a lot of news this week so check out all the stories below.
For those of you in the world of Web design, I invite you to join our new Divi Unleashed Facebook group.
