Divi Estate Documentation

Getting started
Installing child theme

Step 1: Install Divi Theme

Once you’ve downloaded the Divi theme package, login to your WordPress website and go to Appearance > Themes.
Find and upload the Divi parent theme and activate it. Next click on the Add New Theme.

 

Step 2: Install and activate DiviEstate

Click on Upload Theme.

 

 

Click on Choose file.

In the downloaded package find and select DiviEstate.zip file, then click on the Install Now button.

 

 

Completing the upload, you will need to activate the theme by clicking on the Activate button.

 

Step 3: Activate your product

To activate your product and get updates please go to Settings > DiviEstate Activation and enter your API Key and API Email.

To see your API Keys please login to your account.

 

Step 4: Install Plugins

DiviEstate requires 6 plugins: ACF: Google Map Extended, Advanced Custom Fields, Breadcrumbs NavXT, Caldera Forms, One Click Demo Import and Recent Post Widget With Thumbnails. We have made installing process very simple. After DiviEstate child theme is activated system will ask you to install all missed plugins. Click Begin installing plugins.

 

 

On the next screen select all plugins, choose “Install” from dropdown menu and click Apply.

 

Step 5: Import Breadcrumbs settings

Go to Settings/Breadcrumb NavXT and expand “Help” section.

Select Import/Export/Reset tab and click Upload File.

In the downloaded package find and select bcn_settings.xml file, then click on the Import button.

 

Step 6: Permalinks setup

To make the Contact Form Popups working, Permalinks Settings have to be setup to “Post name”.

Go to Settings > Permalinks, select “Post name” and click Save Changes.

 

Step 7: Google Map API

In order to make property map working we need to get Google API Key.

Go to Divi > Theme Options, find “Google API Key” and paste your code.

How to create new API key?

 

To make all DiviEstate map modules working properly we need to setup Google Map API key and make sure that the 3 following interfaces are enabled.
 
• Maps JavaScript API
• Places API for Web
• Geocoding API
 
 

Step 8: Disable Visual Text Editor

DiviEstate uses custom icons which are applied via span classes. This is unfortunately not supported by WordPress and when we have Visual Text Editor enabled this causes issues, icons may disappear.

To disable Visual Text Editor please go to Users and click Your Profile.

Find Visual Editor option located at the very top and mark box Disable the visual editor when writing.

This will prevent icons disappearing. You may skip this step if you won’t use custom icon classes.
Full list of custom icons available in Divi Estate can be found here.

 

Importing demo content
Step 1: Now you will need to install the library and all theme settings which allows you to have your site just like the demo version.

Go to Appearance > Import Data Demo, and click on the Import Demo Data button.

Note: This may take even several minutes, depends of internet connection speed. Please be patient.

 

 

Step 2: The theme has 3 pre-built forms. They need to be imported from download package. Go to the Caldera Forms tab located in your WordPress Dashboard and click Import button. Select “contact-form.json” file located in Import Files/Caldera Forms folder and click Import button. Follow the same steps for all other forms.
