Today, we are releasing the Divi 5 Public Alpha. Download it and take it for a test drive! Before you do, please consider the following:
Firstly, this is an unfinished alpha build. Don’t jump to conclusions if you experience bugs, performance issues, compatibility issues, or if you don’t like the UI. That’s why we invite you to test it, so we can gather feedback, fix problems, and improve the final version.
There will be many bugs, but we look forward to working with the community to resolve them quickly. If you experience a problem, click the chat icon, let our team know, and we’ll handle it from there.
We aim to make the Divi 5 Alpha even more stable than Divi 4, and this will be our focus over the next month. If you don’t want to participate in the bug-testing phase, wait and jump in later.
Secondly, a few features still need to be added to Divi 5. If you notice something missing, it’s not that we removed it; we just haven’t added it yet. We’ll be filing in those missing features during the alpha, and nothing will be missing in the final build.
Thirdly, you shouldn’t expect modules from the Divi Marketplace to be ready for Divi 5 at this early stage. You can still use those modules thanks to Divi 5’s backward compatibility mode. However, this mode has limitations and is still a work in progress. If you experience bugs with third-party modules, direct those questions to our team rather than the module creators.
Fourthly, we plan to improve several things before the final release. There are known bugs that need fixing, additional performance improvements to be implemented, and the UI still needs fine-tuning. It’s an alpha; it’s not intended to be perfect. It exists for testing and to gather feedback to improve the final version.
Finally, for all the reasons I mentioned, it’s recommended that you approach this initial version with caution, using it only for testing on non-production websites. That recommendation will change once we iron out the kinks.
With those essential notes out of the way, let me show you how to download, install, and use Divi 5!
