How do CSS Hero and Divi Booster Compare?
The short answer is that CSS Hero and Divi Booster do different things. They can be used together and doing so will give you the most control over how Divi looks and behaves.
Here's the slightly longer answer. CSS Hero is a general-purpose tool for changing the look of a site via CSS. It makes it easy to do basic CSS tweaks to your site such as changing text color and alignment, font sizes, background colors. It excels at this and if that is all you need to do, it may be just the tool for you.
Divi Booster, on the other hand, has grown out of my work helping people solve their trickiest Divi customization problems. Many of these problems have come from smart people who know some CSS and are often already using CSS Hero. As such the problems I've been solving are typically ones which require a deeper knowledge of and control over Divi than CSS Hero (or anything else) can offer. Most of the fixes use a combination of CSS, JavaScript and PHP to achieve the desired effect. Divi Booster wraps these complex fixes into one easy-to-use plugin, so anyone can apply these fixes to their site regardless of their coding abilities (or lack of).
Divi Booster and CSS Hero work well together. Using both plugins will give you the most complete set of configuration options for Divi, letting you both take control of the basic look of your site and take it to the next level.
Where does Divi Booster put its CSS code? Does it get applied to the parent theme file or child theme? How do I modify the CSS for a Divi Booster feature?
Divi Booster doesn't modify the parent or child theme. Instead it creates and includes a separate CSS file (as well as a JavaScript file). It stores this in its own cache directory. It overwrites it whenever you save new settings, so don't add CSS to this file as it'll just get erased by the next save. The good thing about CSS is that it doesn't really matter where you put it, so you can add CSS in your own child theme (or wherever) and have it modify the Divi Booster CSS. If you'd like to see the CSS that Divi Booster is generating, go to the Divi Booster settings page and look under "Developer Tools > Generated CSS". There you can view the Divi Booster CSS file. You may want to temporarily use the "Disable minification" option to make the file easier to read.
Why do I get a blank screen when I click on wp_footer.txt or htaccess.txt in the Developer Tools section?
Some of the Divi Booster options work by adding code into the WordPress .htaccess file (which controls how URLs are processed) and/or at the end of the Divi page's HTML. This code gets stored in the two files you mention. If you haven't enabled any of the features which use these files, they will be empty. That's why when you click on them you're just getting a blank page – you're being shown the (empty) files.
Does Divi Booster work with WordPress multisite?
Is this plugin provided / approved by Elegant Themes?
The Divi Booster plugin is an independent product which is not associated with, endorsed by, or supported by Elegant Themes.
Hi Dan,
I've purchased your plugin and look forward to using it. How do I download it?
David
Hey David, you should have received an email containing the download link. I've just resent the email – please check in your spam folder if you don't see it in your inbox. Let me know if you still don't receive it and I'll sort it out.
Hi
Where can I get the Zip file for this plugin to download ?
Thanks
Judy
Hey Judy, the plugin is available for purchase at http://divibooster.com/divi-booster-the-easy-way-to-customize-divi/ . If you already bought the plugin but didn't receive the email with the link to the zip file, please let me know and I'll resend it.
Hi Dan,
the Divi Bosster seems to solve all my problems on divi pages – thank you for this plugin!
But: I just read your answer "DiviBosster does not work on wordpress multisites" – of course after purchasing and installing it ;-) When do you plan to fix this? I use several multisite installations for me and my customers and urgently need this feature.
Or is there a way/cheat to use Divi-Booster on multisite setups anyway?
Thx a lot!
Olli
Hey Olli, yeah sorry it's single site only at moment, but I'm looking getting it running on multisite as soon as possible (hopefully very soon). I don't know of a way to cheat, but as soon as I figure one out I'll update the plugin with it :)
Hey Olli, after running some tests, it seems that Divi Booster is working with WordPress Multisite. The following post gives some more information on this:

Hey Dan, that's good news! Thx for this inf. I will give a try. Best, Olli
Can I change the background color in the footer to white using this plug-in? I am just loving the Divi theme.
Hey Becky, it's not currently an option in Divi Booster, but I'll definitely add it in a future update.
Thanks so much!!!
Not at the moment, Becky, but I'll add it into a future update.
Hi Becky,
Try this code in the Custom CSS Section of e-panel for your header and footer (header opacity from 1.0 to 0.0) and change the hex color value of the footer to suit your taste. I change the footer to white (#fff) immediately on new Divi installs.
/* — transparency header footer — */
#main-header{
opacity:1.0;
}
#footer-bottom {
background-color: #fff;
}
Thanks for sharing this, Chris.
Hello Dan,
Thanks for coming up with the DIVI Booster :)
How do I target a certain CSS Class/Page with the DIVI Booster? I wanted to change the height of a slider on certain pages/CSS Class.
Suggestions: Please put a left and right button when setting the size of modules.
Thanks. Wil
Hi Wil,
The various Divi Booster options currently apply across the whole site, though I'm looking to change this. The CSS Manager section, however, has an option to apply CSS to particular pages. You could copy the code from the following page:
http://divibooster.com/changing-the-height-of-the-divi-slider/
into a CSS manager box (click to add a new CSS box), and then select the page(s) you want the code to apply to. You'll also need to modify the CSS to set your desired slider height.
I'll be improving the module size sliders soon!
You're welcome, Wil!
At the moment most of the Divi Booster settings effectively apply as global settings. That is, they can't be applied to particular pages / CSS classes. This is something I want to add in the future.
For now, the best way to change the height of a particular slider is to set the CSS class ("myslider", say), then replace every occurrence of ".et_pb_slider" with ".myslider" in the CSS code from this post:
http://divibooster.com/changing-the-height-of-the-divi-slider/
As for your suggest, I've updated the plugin to replace the module size sliders with a text box (with up and down arrows). Hopefully this will prove easier to use.
Hi Dan,
Thanks for the prompt response.
Since then, the only feature I selected by the Hide navigation until scroll feature.
It worked nicely on the home….but I don't want it on all the other pages.
Not be a coder, I don't know how to make it only apply to the home page.
I contacted ET support..and as I wait..will be getting more code. They asked for me to empty out what is stored in your cache file.
1. I don't understand why…when nothing is checked…there is still code in the file.
2. What code do you suggest which would limit that behavior to only the home page?
Thanks in advance,
Anna
Hi Anna, at the moment the plugin applies most of its settings as a "default" which is applied everywhere on the site. I want to modify the plugin to allow the various options to be applied to specific pages, etc, but this will be a big piece of work and will take me some time to complete.
If nothing is checked then there will not be any code in the cache files. You can confirm this by going into the "Developers Tools" section of the plugin. Click on the various sections (Generated CSS, etc) and some of them will have an option to view the generated file. Click on the file name and if it shows you a blank file that means that that cache file is empty.
As I mentioned in the email I sent you, this page shows the code the plugin uses to achieve it's effect:
http://divibooster.com/hide-divi-theme-header-until-scrolled/
Unfortunately I'm so busy with the release of the plugin that I don't have time to help you with it at the moment, but it should be possible to modify this code to apply the effect to particular pages.
Burning Question:
I just purchased the plugin and before I dig in…
I am not overly tech savvy so I always use the ePanel to store my css.
In case something accidentally happens to the plugin and it must be deleted, is there a way to place the changes/css in the ePanel for safe keeping?
Hey Anna, you can backup and restore Divi Booster plugin settings using the import / export feature under "Developer tools". It's not really possible to transfer the settings to ePanel, as the plugin uses more than just CSS to achieve its effects (php, javascript, htaccess, etc).
Huge thanks for your great support Dan! Keep up the good work & I look forward to the updates :)
Cheers! Cat
Hi, thank you so much for this. I spent a whole day searching for ways to get the page builder to work on posts – this is great.
However, I have got a few problems – firstly the featured image is huge and horrible at the top of the blog post, secondly I can't get the width of the sidebar right. The ET navigation is set to off but it's still showing the widget on the default sidebar.
Have you got a support forum for things like this? This seems like the wrong place.
Hey Lisa, sorry you're having a couple of problems. I'll try and work through them over the next few days and get back to you as soon as I can.
I'm looking at setting up a support forum very shortly. Until then, I'm using the comments as a makeshift support forum :)
Hi Dan
Sorry! Me again ;) I want to remove the line next to the sidebar and have checked 'Hide dividing line' – however this doesn't seem to work?
I have tried checking, unchecking, saving, refreshing… and a lot of combinations of all of them – what am I missing or is there an issue with this feature?
Thanks again! Cat
Thanks for letting me know, Cat! It sounds like a problem with the feature itself. I'll look into it and get back to you soon.
Hi Dan
Thanks for the Divi Booster! ;) One question on changing the size of the sliders – when I 'set default slider height' and make it slightly smaller than it was – the text is no longer centred horizontally in the slider. It's nearer the top of the slider, making it to look unbalanced as it doesn't sit centrally.
Is there anything I can do for this? Or do I just have to go back to using the full width slider to make the text sit in the middle?
Thanks! Cat
Hi Cat, thanks for letting me know. I'll take a look at this and release a plugin update to fix it as soon as I can.
