Divi Ajax Filter: Fully Re-coded and Stress Tested
We’re thrilled to announce that the Divi 5 version of our Divi Ajax Filter plugin is complete! Currently undergoing internal stress testing, this milestone brings us one step closer to ensuring seamless compatibility with Divi 5. This plugin is a cornerstone of both Divi Machine and Divi BodyCommerce, making its successful adaptation a pivotal achievement.
Divi Machine: Next on the Roadmap
With Divi Ajax Filter nearing readiness, our focus now shifts to Divi Machine. Known for its advanced custom post type functionalities, Divi Machine’s transformation for Divi 5 will enable even more dynamic content creation possibilities. Rest assured, we’re dedicated to maintaining the exceptional performance and usability our users have come to expect.
Prioritizing Accessibility
As part of our commitment to improving the experience for all users, we’re making accessibility a central focus of our development efforts. With the rewrite of each plugin for Divi 5, we are implementing WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards to ensure our plugins meet the needs of users requiring accessibility features.
This step is about more than compliance—it’s about making sure everyone can build and enjoy beautiful, functional websites. By aligning with WCAG, we’re creating tools that are not only powerful but also inclusive.
A New Era for Divi Engine Development
The past five months have been a period of reflection and transformation for our development team. To ensure we’re ready for Divi 5 and beyond, we’ve implemented significant changes to our processes:
- Streamlined Development Practices: We’ve refined our workflows to enhance efficiency and ensure consistent, high-quality output.
- Team Expansion: Our development team has grown, and we’ve started training Pavak to play a vital role in future projects. His enthusiasm and potential make us confident he’ll become a key contributor down the line.
- New Plugin Features & Maintenance: The time spent reflecting on our development processes have enabled us to take a step back and decide where dev hours are best spent.
Why This Matters
These changes aren’t just about adapting to Divi 5—they’re about future-proofing our plugins and strengthening the Divi Engine ecosystem. By investing in our team and rethinking how we work, we’re ensuring that our plugins remain innovative, robust, and ready to harness the power of Divi 5’s new capabilities.
Our new approach comes with a huge new feature for Divi Form Builder as well as changes to two of our oldest plugins, but more on that a bit later.
