Brilliant TY. I like the way you focus one thing at a time. Some tutorials will show the issue I am looking to figure out but then they start styling the text and the theme and the ......... By the time they get back to the issue in question to show the results of the changes made, I am lost.

[@divicoaching]

Thanks Peter. So pleased that you appreciate my approach. I still have less than 20 vids so am trying to push things a bit further with each one. Stay tuned...

[@dandelionwm]

I really appreciate the explanation of how things work and why they look the way they do, thank you!

[@divicoaching]

Thank you. Some of these concepts are not straightforward and it took me some time to get my head around them for the first time!

[@darndarn99]

I’m 50 years old and you just taught me a new thing today 😂😂👍 didn’t know that could be done like that , cheers 👍

[@divicoaching]

Thank you! Don't tell anyone but I'm a good few years older! 🤣

[@carolyn1174]

Wish I had discovered you and this video before needing to do workarounds for the issues you identified! Love your teaching style and I discovered many things I didn't know. Thank you

[@divicoaching]

Glad this was useful.

[@bellwethermarketing795]

I just came across this video and was excited to see you implement this method very well. I was wondering if you might do an updated version of this tutorial on how to do this with say a hero section. The image being an Actual image module but have it full screen with text and button overlaid. This would be amazing for SEO value and design.

[@divicoaching]

Thank you for your feedback. I will certainly have a look at this as I have been thinking about making a tutorial about hero sections. It wouldn't be hard to do what you suggest with a single column row set to 100VH with an image module and everything else positioned using "absolute".

[@carolyn1174]

​@@divicoaching I'd be keen for this. Am having issues with responsiveness of a hero section. Thank you

[@tonybrown5221]

Glad you're back. I'm a big fan of your tutorials and always find them well presented and thought out. I particularly appreciate how you first demonstrate alternative approaches before presenting the most effective one. You've helped me before on numerous instances, so I look forward to more.

[@divicoaching]

Thank you Tony. Very much appreciate the feedback and support. Hoping to keep going now I've got back into it in the last couple of weeks. This one in particular took quite a time to get right!

[@divicoaching]

Hi and welcome to my latest tutorial. Responsiveness is probably the topic I get asked for help with the most. Let me know what you think!

[@erling5148]

Nice but i minor mistake at 12:32 you say give the image an ID while this should be: give it a class

[@divicoaching]

Thank you yes! I spotted that too late. Did the same with the text.. but managed to get a note on the screen before publishing...

[@kimboosan]

So glad to see a vid from you! I always learn something I can use. Love your teaching style, very clear and focused, you don't get carried away with a lot of incidental stuff. Thanks!

[@divicoaching]

Thank you! So glad you are finding my tutorials useful.

[@learncoreldraw]

Thank you very much for that. Excellent explanation. As a beginner, I understand it very well. Is there a solution like this for a text module that also contains an h2 heading? Or do I have to use a separate module for the heading?

[@divicoaching]

I would go with a separate module. I prefer to keep headings and body separate in any case. Much easier to keep track of the layout. I am glad you found this useful!

[@lucanitro]

Hello beautiful video congratulations!! Thank you so much!! I wanted to know if there is the possibility of making the image fill 100% of the column because in this way the column is filled by the image to about 85-90%.. Thank you so much again!

[@divicoaching]

There is no reason not to fill the column 100%. Can you show me an example of where you say it is 85-90%? Maybe you have padding set, or maybe you need to remove the column gap.

[@sabinevanerp]

So important this video: you answered all my questions about this subject. Thanks a lot

[@divicoaching]

Glad it was helpful!

[@BeFoundOnTheWeb]

Can you please remind me where to find the video on how to keep column rows even with buttons anchored to the bottom? I have looked, but cannot seem to find. Thank you!

[@mandirasolutions3788]

Awesome! Thank you for taking the time to teach us.

[@divicoaching]

Welcome. Thank you for taking the time to comment. It is really appreciated 👍

[@donaldjclaxton]

Question: if I'm building my pages in sections, like templates for an intro, an H2 section (so a row and then text block[s]), and on down the page, how much is this additional CSS going to slow down the page load time?

[@divicoaching]

I would say not a perceivable amount.

[@juanJose-ug5lw]

Thanks for the tutorials they are excellent. Could you make a video: How to create a Gallery Masonry Image Filter in Divi without plugin. Thanks in advance.

[@divicoaching]

Thanks Juan. I will have a look at this, but it's a bit beyond the scope of teaching people to use Divi. You would probably need to use a bit of JS.

[@FabianFerdinand-xw2so]

Thanks! ......it helps .....It is not an affiliate garbage! Master class meaning it helps to get fit. Great work.

[@divicoaching]

Thank you. Very pleased you found this useful.

[@unniiq3858]

Excellent !

[@divicoaching]

Well thank you 🙏

[@SuzannahPovey-White]

It didn't work for me and I went through it THREE times to make sure I'd completed it all! :(

[@divicoaching]

Ok let's try and work out where this went wrong for you. Which bit could you not get to work and what was the error..

[@darndarn99]

The thing I dislike most about divi is when editing using the mobile and tablet tabs . All looks great as and when I am editing but as soon as I actually look on my iPhone 13 and on my tablet the site looks nothing like what I see when inside the divi visual builder. So frustrating, my hero section has headline and sub headline with a button in a column on the left. In the right column is a png image of me ( I know png is bad idea but hey ) I am editing this for tablet and mobile using smaller images for those devices and changing margins to allow the image to stay on the right side on those devices. While it’s working and looking great in in the visual builder, it’s not great in real life on those devices, such pain .

[@darndarn99]

I’m guessing I should be using css clamping ?

[@divicoaching]

Hi Mark. That's one option, but you should really be able to get things looking pretty good with the Divi settings. Not sure what units you are using but if you go with %s for margins and widths it shouldn't be too hard.

[@darndarn99]

@@divicoaching yeah using % makes total sense now after watching a few of your fluid tuts 👍

[@darndarn99]

Hi , can I ask you a Wordpress question please . Just a lil bit of background. I have been building Wordpress sites for what seems like a long time now , for me, friends and family as well as a few small local businesses. All good and happy. This week I’m about to onboard a new client, well a friend of the family who has have her website built by another company, not cheap at all and does look very nice. She is paying a monthly fee for them to manage it £399 per month. Now for me that’s not to bad if she was getting regular content and regular updates and offsite seo work done, but she is not and doesn’t require any of that. So she has asked me if I could manage the site, no updates, well very very few and how much would I charge. Gave her the figure I had in mind and she was very happy with that. Btw she is a dentist. So going forward I needed to take a look in the backend to see how things were setup and how all the referrals system worked . I asked her to contact the devs and ask for admin access login credentials to her site . She did that and they replied with some login details. But when I logged in and went to the themes tab I noticed there was not a editor ? So have no access to any css files. Even if I go to the customiser it’s very limited, not fonts to change not colour access. Do you think the dev company has created a custom admin role ???

[@divicoaching]

It's quite common to disable this in wp-config. Either ask for access and edit this (should be pretty obvious) or ask the devs to do it. Be careful though and back up.

[@divicoaching]

Look for somthing like this towards the bottom of the file: /** Disable Editing Themes and Plugins Using Built-in Editor */ define ('DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT', false);

[@darndarn99]

I have edited the wp-config file by changing false to true but no joy. I think the devs have given them a custom admin 😒

[@divicoaching]

Actually it should be 'false' I think - confusing as it is a double negative... But sounds like you have tried both! What error do you get when to try to edit?

[@divicoaching]

@@darndarn99 if they have added a custom type this will be via "add_role()" function probably towards the end of functions.php in the child theme. Again take care if you are changing this and back up.
