Status changed: Draft to Pending.
Updates and maintenance:
- Contact Page: Set phone and address links to be interactive, fixed layout issue causing background of the text module to be cut off.
- Global Footer:
Corrected phone number and link, updated to “Proudly located in: APTOS,
CA to match new address, updated Copyright notification to 2026. - General Customization: Updated fallback copyright notice date and updated fallback WordPress widgets to match new telephone and address information.
- Site cleanup: Removed unnecessary WordPress themes, cleared all caches, general site review
Notes:
Divi’s Visual Theme Editor has to be disabled to edit the current footer
section module in the Divi Library. (editing requires using Divi’s
classic builder view)
This site was developed shortly before major updates rolled
out where Divi added their new Theme Builder that handles their global
and page specific theming.
Recommendations:
- The site seems to be running fine for now.
- That
being said, the theming platform we use, Divi 4, will likely be
reaching its end of life around the end of February, 2027 and support
will discontinue. - There is a major new version of the theming
platform, Divi 5, that has been totally re-written and requires a full
migration of the plugin/theme’s back end settings and front end layouts.
Because this is such a significant update to their theming system, I
suggest completing a full site backup to a staging server where I can
test the migration/update before implementing it on your live site. That
will give me an idea of what needs to be updated in order to minimize
the impact to the uptime of the site. I have the server space to do
this. - Since this site was built before the release of the theme
builder in Divi 4 there may be some layout elements that need to be
updated to use it before the migration to Divi 5.
