Divi 5 Adds Four New Modules: Charts, Gravity Forms, Imagely, and Payment Buttons
Divi 5's post-launch cadence continues: a charts module with nine formats and its own tabular data editor, native modules for Gravity Forms and Imagely, and a payment button for PayPal and Stripe. The pattern matters as much as the modules — Divi is absorbing jobs that used to need extra plugins.
Elegant Themes has shipped four new modules for Divi 5, continuing the steady post-launch drumbeat that started once Divi 5 left beta. This batch is worth a closer look because it targets three different gaps at once: data visualization, third-party plugin styling, and payments.
What's in the batch
Charts. The new charts module builds interactive charts in nine formats, with data managed through a brand-new tabular data editor inside the builder. Until now, putting a chart on a Divi site meant a separate charting plugin or an embedded third-party widget — both of which fight the builder on styling. A native module means chart colors, fonts, and spacing follow the same design system as the rest of the page.
Gravity Forms. A native module for one of the most established form plugins in WordPress. The practical win is styling: instead of overriding Gravity Forms' markup with custom CSS, you style the form like any other Divi element, directly in the builder.
Imagely. Same story for galleries — Imagely's NextGEN Gallery is a staple for photographers, and the native module lets those galleries be placed and styled inside the builder rather than dropped in as shortcodes.
Payment button. A simple way to configure PayPal and Stripe payment buttons. This is the quiet sleeper of the four: for a one-product site, a donation page, or a consultant collecting deposits, a payment button module removes the need to install WooCommerce (or any commerce plugin) just to take a card payment.
The pattern behind the modules
Individually, each module is a convenience. Together they continue a strategy we've been tracking since Divi 5 went official: Elegant Themes is systematically converting "things that need another plugin" into "things the builder does natively." Gravity Forms and Imagely are also a notable choice of direction — rather than cloning popular plugins, Divi is building first-class integrations for them, which respects the plugins people already own and keeps their data where it is.
For site owners, the calculus is straightforward: every job the builder absorbs is one less plugin to update, one less styling conflict, and one less thing to check after a WordPress major release. (Our maintenance-plan guide covers why that plugin count matters more than most people think.)
The flip side deserves a sentence too: builder-native modules deepen lock-in. A chart built in Divi's data editor doesn't travel with you if you ever leave Divi — where a standalone charting plugin would. That's not a reason to avoid the modules; it's a reason to know which of your content is portable and which isn't.
Divi 5 is officially out of beta
Alongside the module release, Elegant Themes confirmed it plainly: the beta has ended and Divi 5 is available for download as the stable, current version. If you held off during the beta window — a reasonable call for production sites — the wait-and-see period is over, and the weekly release cadence (see our Divi 5.9 release notes tracker) suggests the platform is getting active investment rather than post-launch quiet.
You can try Divi 5 here — membership includes the theme, the builder, and all modules including the four new ones.
