Divi 5.0 Aims to Bring Greater Compatibility with Gutenberg
Divi, the popular commercial WordPress theme and page builder created by Elegant Themes, has announced major changes coming in version 5.0 that constitute a complete rewrite of Divi’s core technologies. The update, which is expected to be released in beta next year, will focus on performance, stability, scalability, and extendability, but it will not introduce any new features.
“We are recreating Divi’s backend framework, cleaning up years of technical debt, changing Divi’s storage format, and improving its rendering mechanism,” Elegant Themes CEO Nick Roach said. “This new version of Divi will be able to process design settings much more quickly.”
One of the most notable changes coming in 5.0 is that Divi will be migrating away from shortcodes.
“This change will bring Divi into alignment with the future of WordPress, which is evolving in a new direction,” Roach said.
Divi will migrate to a new JSON format that is similar to the way Gutenberg stores data. The legacy shortcodes will continue to work and for a time Divi will lazy load in the old framework as necessary.
“If you are using Divi shortcodes outside of your post content, it will be highly recommended to replace these shortcodes with our new json-based elements,” Roach said. “Otherwise, you are going to take a performance hit.”
As part of the 5.0 update, Divi’s developers plan to include a button to perform the migration away from shortcodes, which will automatically change posts to use the new system.

New Tool Checks If Google Fonts Are Hosted Locally
Earlier this year, WordPress’ Themes Team began urging theme authors to switch to locally hosted fonts after a German court case decision, which fined a website owner for violating the GDPR by using Google-hosted web fonts. Since that ruling, German website owners have continued to receive threats of fines for not having their fonts hosted locally.
The makers of the Fonts Plugin, a commercial product with a free version on WordPress.org, have created a tool called Google Fonts Checker that will help website owners discover where their fonts are hosted. The tool analyzes any URL entered and if the fonts are hosted by Google, it says “Google Fonts Connection Found” with a red ‘X.’ Sites that are in the clear will show a notice that a Google Fonts connection was not found:
Google Fonts Checker is useful for non-technical users who are not sure whether their theme or plugins are referencing fonts hosted on Google’s servers. Beyond delivering the simple connection message, the tool scans the website and returns a list of the font files used to render the page, which can be helpful in tracking down the specific extension loading these files.
