I have recently upgraded WordPress to 5.0. This necessitated a corresponding upgrade for Divi Theme and Divi Builder. However, I just noticed that Divi has done something to break the functionality for adding Fields and Views to a Divi Module. When I edit a page using the Divi Builder, and I click on the "Fields and Views" button at the top of the Divi editor, nothing happens. There is no popup anywhere, so it's not possible to select a view in this way. The only way I can insert a view into a Divi module now is by manually typing it into the text area. This is problematic because your syntax for the view shortcodes is different inside the Divi builder. If I don't get the {!{...}!} just right, then it doesn't work.

I realize this is bug is probably due to a change in the way the new Divi Builder works, but your admin code should still work in the latest Divi. To be clear, the views work fine, once I insert them properly (all except the AJAX pagination sliders, which I've already reported in another ticket.)

I'd appreciate it if you could get this working again, so I can continue to use the product in the Divi Visual Builder.

Thanks,

David McLeod

Hi David,

I was performing some clean-up and came across this ticket.

I'm sure you'll be aware by now that with the passage of time and especially with the introduction of WordPress's new editor "Gutenberg" ( https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/ ), Toolset and Divi both have grown a lot, but in separate directions.

Toolset set has put its focus on the default "Gutenberg" blocks based editor, while Divi continues to expand its own front-end builder.

Unfortunately, they both can't be used together as closely as before, but still, there is a lot that can be achieved while keeping them both on the same website.

We have updated our recommendations in the documentation accordingly:

You're welcome to start a new ticket for any new question or concern.

regards,
Waqar
