Divi Version 5.8.0 Changelog

Released 19th June 2026

– Added Tooltip module.
– Fixed an issue where WordPress automatic update scrape requests could regenerate incomplete Divi 5 homepage CSS, causing builder styles to disappear.
– Fixed an issue where pages visited with specific URL paramaters could generate invalid CSS for pages containing loops.
– Fixed VB perf regression by removing update-transient priming from perf-mode bootstrap and restored CI perf gate thresholds.
– Fixed an issue where a thin sliver of the next Group Carousel slide could show at certain viewport widths.
– D4 Search migration now keeps Search native and moves the legacy free-form CSS rule into module free-form CSS instead of leaving it at the page level.
– Fixed an issue where saving a page in the Visual Builder could purge all LiteSpeed Cache entries instead of only the edited page.
– Fixed Button Options selection and global module sync tracking edge cases by aligning field change payload typing and handling immutable attribute trees correctly.
– Fixed an issue where Section Area Background Color could fail to apply in certain Theme Builder front-end layouts, causing sections to appear white.

– Fixed control layering in the Slider Module so arrows and dot navigation stay above high z-index Slide content.

    Footer of the startpage (only this page) is not showing up correctly after this update. I rolled the site back to prior version, it fixed it. Please fix this bug that I can update to new version
