Howdy Divi friends!
On this post I’m going to show you how to import a layout to your Divi template. There are various ways to import a design to your page when using Divi theme.
Let’s see the options in detail!
One way is to use Duplicate plugin. Duplicate plugin is great when you are on the same website and you want to import the entire layout (template). And it doesn’t really matter if you are using Divi Themes. It duplicates the page. But if you would like to add a module or a section to your Divi template, you can use a few tricks!
You can download this plugin from here. It’s a very useful plugin if you have a lot of pages to copy and make based on a similar design!
If you are Divi user, you should be using this function a lot! Because it’s so easy! After you select the element, click on the hamburger icon (•••) and click on Copy Section, Row. Module.
Another way of copying when you’re not copying from a page to another page on the same website is to use Import/Export.
To export a layout and maybe save the content for later or import it to another website you can do the following:
1. Look for the ••• icon to open up the settings and buttons (not sure why this is collapsed by default)
2. Once it is clicked, you can see the other options:
3. Click on the last icon on the right with two arrows (two way arrows). And a little window pop up for you to choose a name for the layout.
4. Choose a name for your file and then it will be downloaded! It will be saved in JSON format. Remember, the assets (images/files) will not be exported with the JSON file. It will be downloaded by the Divi Plugin later when you import it.
1. Same steps as above (export): ••• icon, arrows, but in the popped window, click on Import tab so you can upload the file first.
2. Try to drag and drop the file in there or click on NO FILE SELECTED and upload it in there.
