How to use the Global Defaults in Divi Theme?

Instead of starting with Divi’s default styles and customize each module individually, you can create global styles for every module inside the Divi Builder. Watch the video to see how to apply global styles to a module, how to edit modules globally and what happens to your existing content when you decide to modify the global defaults.

    Hi Ania,

    Is this still available? I signed up to the newsletter but can’t find the resource in the freebies section.

      I’ve just updated the list, so it should now be available. Please note that while these layouts are a great way to style all modules at once, the global defaults were replaced by Presets some time ago. It’s best to double-check or recreate the presets manually.

    Unfortunately the link for Global Defaults does not work.
    I´m landing on the “subscribe” button .-)
    But I am logged in!

    Best regards, JÜrgen

      Hi Jürgen, I just checked and it looks like your email had a ‘bounced’ status on my list. This can happen if your email server temporarily blocks messages from me ([email protected]). I’ve resubscribed you now, but to make sure it doesn’t happen again, it’s best to add [email protected] to your contacts or whitelist it in your email settings.

    Finally I now know what causes that issue with incorrect heading sizes in the builder, thanks.
    This bug has existed for a very long time, since I have been using Divi.

    Have you reported this bug to elegant Themes?

    Previously, I would stay away from the global defaults, as I didn’t trust their output. However, this tutorial is beneficial. Thank you! I will start using global defaults on new projects.

    I’m not very good at CSS and I just needed a Blog design like in your work. I love it and thank you very much!
