Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about this plugin
Yes. Squad Modules Lite requires the Divi theme, Extra theme, or the standalone Divi Builder plugin. The modules are built specifically for Divi's visual builder and will not appear in Gutenberg or other page builders.
Yes, completely free with no feature restrictions. All 25+ modules and 5 extensions are included at no cost and there is no paid "Pro" upgrade. We make our money on other plugins — this one stays free.
No. Squad Modules Lite uses conditional asset loading — its CSS and JavaScript only load on pages where you have actually placed a Squad module. Pages that don't use any Squad modules add zero overhead.
Yes. We test each release against the latest Divi version before publishing to WordPress.org. The plugin requires Divi 4.13 or higher and is updated within days of major Divi releases.
Post in the WordPress.org support forum for general questions, or open a GitHub issue for confirmed bugs and feature requests. We aim to respond within 48 hours on business days.
Changelog
Recent releases and what changed
Security
- Breadcrumbs schema output now escapes the home URL with esc_url().
- Visual Builder button previews add rel="noopener noreferrer" to links that open in a new tab.
- Hardened admin-script JSON parsing against malformed data.
Bug fixes
- Fixed a fatal error that could leave WordPress admin pages blank when another plugin passed a non-string value through the admin footer text filter (a strict return-type mismatch on PHP 8).
Improvements
- Confirmed compatibility with Divi 5.9.0.
- Network-aware uninstall now removes plugin data across all sites when the plugin is uninstalled on a multisite network.
New Modules — (Wave 3: breadth fill, native in both builders)
- — horizontal and vertical expanding image panels, hover or click triggers, responsive collapse, and free-form nested-module content per panel; repeatable child items.
- — numbered process steps with icon / image / number markers, vertical or horizontal orientation, connector styling, and scroll-triggered reveal; repeatable child steps.
- — trendy typography effects: image-mask (image-fill) text, text stroke / outline, and animated gradient fill; reuses the existing gradient/glitch text-effect infrastructure.
- — feature checklist with three per-row states (included / excluded / neutral), each state’s icon set via a Divi icon-picker plus colour; responsive columns, row divider and zebra rows, and nested content per row; repeatable child rows. Completes the “comparison” trio with the shipped Pricing Table and Data Table.
Improvements
- The free module library grows to 65 modules — 64 run in both Divi 5 and Divi 4 (Post Carousel remains Divi 5-only), completing Wave 3 of the free-module roadmap.
- Every new module loads its assets per-page (no global bloat) and is pure CSS with no added frontend JavaScript.
- Extended WPML String Translation config to cover every module’s translatable attributes, backfilling 18 modules (Wave 3 plus the Wave 2 set) that were missing entries.
Improvements
- All 61 modules now display their correct icon in the Divi 5 Visual Builder module palette.
- Improved stability and consistency of all modules in the Divi 5 Visual Builder.
Bug fixes
- Fixed several Divi 5 module settings panels that could show blank or incorrect controls in the Visual Builder.
- Fixed module decoration settings (fonts, background, design) for modules where they were not applying correctly in Divi 5.
- Fixed a packaging issue where required plugin files could be missing from the downloaded zip in some environments.
- Hardened all PHP files against edge-case loading issues on non-standard WordPress setups.
New Modules — (modules other Divi packs charge for)
- — evergreen and fixed-date modes, on-expiry actions (hide/redirect/show message), timezone-aware, no external JS.
- — vertical and horizontal orientation, alternating/one-side layouts, scroll-triggered reveal, icon/image/number markers; repeatable child items.
- — responsive (stack/scroll), highlight column/row, sticky header, optional client-side sort, ribbon and CSV-style paste; repeatable child rows.
- — Bar / Line / Pie / Doughnut in one module (Chart.js), multi-dataset, animate-on-scroll, accessible canvas. Chart.js loads only when a chart is present.
- — WhatsApp / Telegram / Messenger / phone / email / custom deep links, online-hours scheduling, prefilled messages; GDPR-friendly, no third-party script; repeatable child channels.
- — top/bottom bar or corner ring, per-content-area target, color/gradient, hide-on-complete. Tiny footprint.
- — unlimited percentage-positioned pins with tooltips, dot/icon/number markers, hover or click trigger, keyboard-accessible; repeatable child pins.
Improvements
- The free module library grows to 61 modules — 60 run in both Divi 5 and Divi 4 (Post Carousel remains Divi 5-only).
- Adds Chart.js as a per-page vendor dependency, enqueued only when a Charts module renders.
- Extended WPML String Translation config for every new module’s translatable attributes.
New Modules
- — team/staff cards with photo, role, bio, social links and schema.org Person markup; repeatable child items.
- — customer reviews with avatar, rating, name/role and schema.org Review markup; repeatable child items.
- — responsive pricing plans with featured-column highlight, ribbon, tick/cross feature lists, CTA button and per-plan accent + button text colours; repeatable child items.
- — blurb-style box pairing an icon, image or Lottie animation with a title, content, optional badge and a clickable box link, with top/left/right layouts.
- — tabbed content with horizontal / vertical layouts, mobile-accordion mode, icon tabs, URL-hash deep-linking and full keyboard/ARIA support; repeatable child Tab items.
Improvements
- The free module library grows to 54 modules — the largest of any free Divi pack — with 53 running in both Divi 5 and Divi 4 (Post Carousel remains Divi 5-only).
- Extended WPML String Translation config for every new module’s translatable attributes.
Security
- Fixed XSS in Typing Text (D4) — text_element_tag prop was used as a raw HTML tag name without allowlist validation; wp_kses_post() on a plain string like script does not strip it.
- Fixed CSS injection in Image Gallery (D4) — esc_attr() on CSS custom-property values does not strip ;; replaced with absint() and sanitize_css_length().
- Fixed CSS injection in Image Mask (D5) — decoration layer fill color written into a <style> block via esc_attr() instead of sanitize_css_background().
- Fixed CSS injection in Post Grid (D5) — gap CSS custom property value not length-validated before insertion.
- Fixed CSS injection in Video Popup, Image Mask (D4) — color and transform values interpolated into set_style() declarations without sanitization.
- Fixed CSS injection in Gradient Text, Skill Bar, Divider (D5) — missing semicolons in declarations and wrong escape function in class attributes.
- Fixed XSS across 9 D4 modules (Scrolling Text, Dual Button, Drop Cap Text, Advanced Button, Table of Contents, Text Highlighter, Drop Cap Text, Lottie, Glitch Text) — prop values used in HTML output without proper escaping.
Bug fixes
- Fixed output-buffer leaks in all 4 Auth form modules (D4) — catch blocks returned without calling ob_get_clean(), leaking the open buffer on exceptions.
- Fixed Forminator form condition (D4) — inverted '' !== $form_html meant the form never rendered; corrected to '' === $form_html.
- Fixed Post Reading Time wrong toggle slug and broken CSS selector (D4).
- Fixed Flip Box front button border applying to wrong slide (D4) and missing leading dots in several CSS selectors.
- Fixed Video Popup icon opacity selector and wrong use_overlay default (D4).
- Fixed Star Rating display type default and wrong font transition group (D4).
- Fixed Post Grid Child prop() fallback typo ' off' → 'off' (D4).
- Fixed ob_start leak in Post Grid and Ninja Forms catch blocks (D4).
- Added missing aria-hidden on decorative elements in Breadcrumbs and Hover Box (D4).
- Added missing image alt field to Number Counter (D4).
- Added missing root CSS classes and fixed VB preview styles for 24 Divi 5 modules.
- Fixed Skill Bar spacing selector and Post Grid load-more button style (D5).
Refactor
- Consolidated sanitize_css_background() and sanitize_css_length() into the D4 and D5 abstract base classes — removed 43 identical private static copies across module files (-6,087 lines).
New Modules
- — share buttons for popular networks, fully server-rendered and CSS-only.
- — auto-generated, anchor-linked contents from page headings.
- — animated count-up numbers with prefix/suffix and styling controls.
- — richer button with dual icons, hover styles, and states.
- — animated highlight/underline effects for emphasis text.
- — mix text, icons, images, buttons, and dividers in a single flowing line.

- — decorative images with parallax-style floating motion.

Admin Dashboard Redesign
- Rebuilt the admin area as a modern React single-page app (Tailwind + shadcn) with a light/dark theme.
- Live dashboard stats and a modules-by-category library breakdown.
- Modules and Extensions management with search, category filters, bulk actions, and an unsaved-changes save bar.
- What’s New changelog timeline, real Freemius affiliate program terms and application status, and an Account screen with license activation and an anonymous-usage-sharing toggle.
- Brand-aligned Freemius account, pricing, and affiliation pages.
Changes
- Renamed the admin page slug from divi_squad_dashboard to divi_squad. Existing links and bookmarks to the old slug (including Freemius sub-pages) are permanently redirected to the new slug automatically.
Improvements
- Reorganized the Divi 4 and Divi 5 builder source into a shared structure, consolidating cross-version Supports/Module helpers and the build shell.
- Standardized PHP interface and class naming, and added per-module brand icons for the Divi 4 builder.
- Generated an inline module-icon registry at build time for the admin app.
- Expanded automated test coverage for the core and builder layers.
Bug Fixes

- Fixed the Modules/Extensions batch enable/disable save path and URL-unsafe category routes in the REST API.
- Corrected the admin REST namespace, dashboard live-data mapping, and several admin styling regressions against wp-admin core CSS.
