Divi Version 5.2.1 Changelog

Released 9th April 2026

– Fixed Global Variable placeholder chips displaying in the wrong color.
– Fixed Page Creation Flow not appearing when using Classic Editor.
– Unified builder 5 migration/version checks with ET shared prerelease-aware version comparison.
– Updated builder warning version comparison to use ET prerelease-aware shared comparator.
– Fixed ET prerelease version ordering for updates/rollback and fixed helper availability in mixed core loader paths.
– Fixed blank preview when toggling Wireframe View on layouts with off-canvas popups and interactions.
– Fixed Number Counter hover state not displaying hover values on the frontend, and disabled sticky state support for the number value field to match Divi 4 behavior.
– Fixed an issue where buttons with icon disabled could show extra hover spacing when only top or bottom padding was set.
– Fixed an issue where special characters in global text variables were being removed or converted to HTML entities after saving and reopening the Visual Builder.
– Fixed a canvas switching crash by sanitizing circular portal references before runtime loading and hardening content traversal against malformed recursive structures.
– Fixed Visual Builder text rendering that could insert an incorrect line break before literal square-bracketed text.
– Fixed transparent primary menu top padding applying to a Hero module when the Hero was not the first row’s lead module, so section padding now targets the correct element in that layout.
– Fixed WP Optimize’s full page cache not always clearing after Divi static CSS was cleared, which could leave logged-out visitors with broken styles until cache expired.
– Fixed the AI Agent New chat (+) button so its hover label uses the Visual Builder tooltip component instead of the browser default.
– Fixed Role Editor portability so exporting or importing role settings no longer includes or overwrites WordPress Additional CSS (global Custom CSS).
– Fixed an issue where the Custom CSS code editor only showed one class of lint problem at a time for module element CSS, so syntax issues and invalid property names can appear together when applicable.
– Fixed an issue where the Date & Time condition popup could hide the Apply button on smaller screen heights.
– Fixed unnecessary delay when clearing WP Compress cache after Divi updates by using the plugin’s newer purge API on supported versions.
– Fixed speculative “Edit With Divi” prerendering so it only runs for posts that already have Divi enabled.
– Fixed Theme Options Custom CSS not loading on paginated Loop Builder pages.
– Fixed an issue where extending Image module sizing styles to or from other modules did not apply the selected sizing values.
– Fixed duplicated post title and meta appearing in Blog Module excerpts when Post Title module is used on the post.
– Fixed the double-click issue when loading the Visual Builder from new auto-draft posts in Classic Editor mode.
– Fixed the Link module’s text alignment so it applies correctly in the builder and on the frontend.
– Fixed preset styles being reset when creating a new preset from current styles while using a default preset.
– Fixed incorrect button size on hover in Visual Builder when using presets with explicit padding and disabled icons.
– Fixed global elements not syncing on every page when Theme Builder templates were assigned.
– Added Human-in-the-Loop approval flow for destructive AI Agent actions and multi-turn conversation memory using LangGraph StateGraph architecture.
– Fixed inconsistent paragraph spacing in the Tabs module between the Divi Builder and the live frontend.
– Fixed hover border color and nested field reset on layouts where responsive state containers were stored as empty arrays instead of objects, which could drop saved hover values and trigger console errors when clearing nested attributes.
– Fixed “Save Roles” button appearing oversized in WordPress 7.0.
– Fixed “Use Divi Builder” button appearing oversized in WordPress 7.0.
– Harmonized the primary buttons appearing oversized in WordPress 7.0.
– Fixed an issue where Text module content wrapped in angle brackets could be treated as HTML and removed from visible output in Visual Builder and the front end.
– Fixed Divi AI “Build with AI” not applying the generated layout when editing a Theme Builder custom header (and similar layout-only areas), by matching canvas content scope to the active template area and ensuring AI prompt listeners stay registered at the app root.
– Fixed global Theme Builder header and footer appearing when editing Divi Library items in the Visual Builder.
