Divi plugins

A Divi plugin is the same as a WordPress plugin, except for the fact that it has been designed to work specifically with the Divi Theme. Just like any WordPress plugin, a Divi plugin is used to add extra features and functionality to your website.

A plugin will add PHP code to your Divi website so that these extra functions can be added to the site.

There are a number of developers creating plugins for Divi and a number of different places you can look to find the plugin you need.

This page on divithemeexamples.com lists over 130 of the best plugins for Divi but there are more available in the community if you can’t find what you are looking for here.

Here are some of the best places to find Divi plugins:

• The official Elegant Themes Divi marketplace lists all the best Divi plugins and they are vetted for quality too.
• There are now many 3rd-party developers who sell plugins through their own websites. Plugins listed on divithemeexamples.com link to the developer’s website so you can buy direct. There are plugins for every aspect of Divi and you can find roundup posts in our blog such as our post on Divi plugins for bloggers, Divi plugins for headers, Divi contact form plugins, Divi SEO plugins, and Divi plugins for adding image galleries.
• There are a growing number of free Divi plugins being released via the official WordPress.org plugin repository.
• Elegant Themes comes with Monarch and Bloom plugins which are compatible with any WordPress website, and they have also released a couple of small plugins that work specifically with Divi.

Pricing for Divi plugins will vary considerably depending on the complexity of the plugin to the pricing strategy of the developer but the range is currently from free to $189.

Some plugins are free, some are based on a freemium pricing model, and some are sold as premium plugins.

When choosing a premium plugin be aware that some developers will charge an auto-renewing license fee every year. Whilst this is a good way to ensure the plugin remains financially viable for the developer it can come as a surprise for the customer.

Some plugins are also available as part of a developers’ membership plan which gives access to all of their Divi products. If you are going to use several of their plugins, child themes, or other products it may well be better value for you.

There are a number of great free plugins for Divi available, but if a plugin is not generating income then there is a greater chance that they may have to abandon the plugin and stop releasing any updates and/or bug fixes.
