Move Visual Builder Save and Publish Buttons to the Left Side

Written by Dan Mossop

The Divi Theme visual builder presents a set of control buttons at the bottom of the screen, which allow for various actions such as saving the page. Some of these buttons are located on the bottom right of the page. However this location is also a common place for notification and chat components to be displayed. If you'd like to avoid overlap of the buttons and these components, here's how to move the visual builder controls to the left-hand side.

Divi Default Behaviour

Here's how the visual builder controls normally look:

	.et-fb-page-settings-bar :not(.et-fb-button-group--save-changes) > .et-fb-button--publish { 
		position: fixed; 
		left: 30px; 
		bottom: 75px; 
	}
	.et-fb-page-settings-bar :not(.et-fb-button-group--save-changes) > .et-fb-button--save-draft { 
		position: fixed; 
		left: 104px; 
		bottom: 75px; 
	} 

	/* Latest visual builder */
	.et-fb-button-group--save-changes { 
		position: fixed !important; 
		margin-top: -70px; 
		left: 30px !important; 
	}
	.et-fb-button-group--save-changes .et-fb-button--help, 
	.et-fb-button-group--save-changes .et-fb-button--quick-actions { 
		margin-right: 8px !important; 
	}
