Editing Divi can be done visually for most changes, or through code for deeper customization.

Visual Editing

Use the front-end Visual Builder to edit modules, rows, and sections directly on the page with live previews.

Theme Customizer

Global settings like colors, fonts, and header/footer layout live under the WordPress Customizer or Divi’s Theme Options.

Custom CSS

Divi includes a built-in Custom CSS panel for fine-tuned style changes that go beyond the visual controls.

Child Themes for Code Changes

For PHP-level edits, use a Divi child theme so your changes survive future updates.

Key Takeaway

Most Divi edits don’t require code at all. For deeper custom builds, see our Divi web design services.
