Divi Chat

The Divi Chat Podcast had an amazing run! This will be the 294th episode since the show began back in October of 2016 when a few friends decided to go public with their conversations about this incredible new tool: Divi. This podcast has meant a lot to a lot of folks – the panelists included. Can’t wait to Chat with you all one last time. Thanks for the memories.

We are taking our own advice! If you caught the previous episode, you know we all believe in the importance of taking a break. The many panel members who have been a part of Divi Chat have been sharing advice, tips, and lessons learned for almost 7 years. (‼️) All of the panelists participate voluntarily and are all running their own business (or multiple businesses!) in addition to hanging out with you virtually for an hour or so each week. The current panelists (Sarah, Tim, Steph, Mike, and Eric) have collectively agreed that we could benefit from a little break. We aren’t leaving for good, just taking a hiatus to recharge our batteries and re-energize ourselves to be able to best serve the WordPress community we all love so much. In fact, we have some exciting things planned for our return, so stay tuned! ✌️🔋 https://www.facebook.com/divichatpodcast https://www.youtube.com/c/divichat Hosts Present: Stephanie Hudson – FocusWP / @stepherriffic / Focus On Your Biz Mike Devitt –  Web Design Pro / FB / @webdesignpro.co Tim Strifler –  Tim’s Divi Plugins / Divi Mega Menu / https://timstrifler.com/ Join us Live on Youtube or Facebook every Tuesday @ ☀️ 2 pm Los Angeles ⛅️ 5 pm New York 🌙 10 pm London 🐓 7 am Sydney (Wednesday) Or Listen Anytime @ iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/divi-chat/id1166016136?mt=2 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5UwghkH9OErcrihKWyXOGH?si=4aZ1HoezQuyr7YjKV1XLxw YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/divichat Google Play: https://play.google.com/music/m/Icjg3enorxbhnhyiqumvyi23rxi?t=Divi_Chat Google Podcasts: https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9kaXZpLmNoYXQvZmVlZC9wb2RjYXN0Lw%3D%3D Stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/divi-chat Pocket Casts: https://pca.st/toM6 Castbox: https://castbox.fm/x/13d2P Divi Facebook Groups: Divi Theme Users – https://www.facebook.com/groups/DiviThemeUsers/ Divi Theme Help & Share – https://www.facebook.com/groups/DiviHelpAndShare/ Divi Web Designers – https://www.facebook.com/groups/diviwebdesigners/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYBvYbXkxlg

Taking on a website you didn’t build is like gazing at the beautiful tip of an iceberg above the surface. At first glance, it appears captivating and pristine, but beneath the waterline lies a complex web of hidden challenges and unexpected surprises. Just like the tip of an iceberg, the visible aspects of a website may seem appealing and functional, but you never know what lies beneath. It could be a messy code structure, outdated plugins, or a tangled web of dependencies waiting to be unraveled. Navigating the depths of someone else’s WordPress creation requires a blend of curiosity, expertise, and a touch of daring. You’ll need to dive deep, explore the unseen intricacies, and bring order to the chaos. It’s a journey that demands both technical prowess and a sprinkle of magic. In this episode, the DC Panel shares their top tips for dealing with these potentially treacherous waters. 💬 Join us in the live chat at 5 p.m. EST on FB or YouTube! https://www.facebook.com/divichatpodcast https://www.youtube.com/c/divichat Hosts Present: Stephanie Hudson – FocusWP / @stepherriffic / Focus On Your Biz Eric Dingler – In Transit Studios / https://www.ericdingler.com/ / https://finallyleads.com/ Sarah Oates – Endure Web Studios / FB / @endureweb Resources Mentioned: https://cleantalk.org/ https://wordpress.org/plugins/antispam-bee/ https://developers.google.com/recaptcha Join us Live on Youtube or Facebook every Tuesday @ ☀️ 2 pm Los Angeles ⛅️ 5 pm New York 🌙 10 pm London 🐓 7 am Sydney (Wednesday) Or Listen Anytime @ iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/divi-chat/id1166016136?mt=2 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5UwghkH9OErcrihKWyXOGH?si=4aZ1HoezQuyr7YjKV1XLxw YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/divichat Google Play: https://play.google.com/music/m/Icjg3enorxbhnhyiqumvyi23rxi?t=Divi_Chat Google Podcasts: https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9kaXZpLmNoYXQvZmVlZC9wb2RjYXN0Lw%3D%3D Stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/divi-chat Pocket Casts: https://pca.st/toM6 Castbox: https://castbox.fm/x/13d2P Divi Facebook Groups: Divi Theme Users – https://www.facebook.com/groups/DiviThemeUsers/ Divi Theme Help & Share – https://www.facebook.com/groups/DiviHelpAndShare/ Divi Web Designers – https://www.facebook.com/groups/diviwebdesigners/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvoI6AIgyNg
