Faq
Yes. This plugin is an add-on for the Divi theme by Elegant Themes and will not work without it. It requires Divi version 5.0.0-public-alpha.20 or newer.
No! The plugin is designed to read and enhance your existing color palette. When you first activate it, it will simply display all the global colors you already have.
The “Palette Snapshot” (a free feature) takes a “picture” of your current color setup (both special and global colors) and saves it in the “Palette Manager” tab. You can then experiment with new colors, and if you don’t like them, you can restore your saved snapshot with one click.
If a color is marked as “in use” by Divi (meaning it’s used on a page, post, or in a Divi layout), our plugin will not let you permanently delete it. This is a safety feature! Instead of deleting, you can “deactivate” it (uncheck its “Status” box) to hide it from the Divi builder.
These are premium features. You can upgrade to the Pro version to unlock theme generation, the live previewer, accessibility checking, import/export, and the front-end mode switcher.
