Extensions

Enabling and configuring extensions

3 min read Updated September 2026 Applies to: Lite & Pro

A module is something you place in a layout. An extension changes how the site behaves, with nothing to place. Both are switched on and off from the same dashboard, and both cost nothing at all while they are off.

Switch one on

  1. Open Divi Squad in the admin menu and pick the Extensions tab. The screen is one page of the dashboard app, so the address ends admin.php?page=divi_squad#/extensions and you can bookmark it.
  2. Find the card. They are grouped under four headings: Enhancement, Login Experience, Media Upload and Pro Extensions.
  3. Flip the toggle on the card. Nothing has changed on the site yet: the toggle stages the change and the count of staged changes appears on the save button.
  4. Press Apply & save. Leaving the screen first discards the staged changes, so save before you navigate away.

The eight free extensions, and what ships on

Six of the eight are active on a fresh install. The two that are not are the ones that change something visible or accept a new file type:

  • Copy Post or Page, on. One click duplication, Multisite included.
  • Divi Library Shortcode, on. A shortcode for any saved Divi Library layout.
  • Custom Login Page, off. The extension that hands the login and register screens to pages of your own.
  • Forgot Password and Reset Password, both on. They govern those two states once Custom Login Page is running, and do nothing before that.
  • SVG Upload and JSON Upload, both on.
  • Font Upload, off.

Three more are Pro: Popup Maker, Scheduled Content and Display Conditions. All three are off by default, and on a free install their cards are upgrade prompts with no code behind them.

The two with settings of their own

Most extensions are a switch and nothing more. Two are not:

  • Custom Login Page has a gear on its card, labelled Configure page assignments, which opens a Page assignments dialog with one dropdown per authentication state. Only published pages are offered. Leave one on the auto created option and the extension makes the page itself.
  • Popup Maker in Pro adds its own admin menu, Squad Popups, with a Settings screen holding the defaults every popup inherits.

Before you switch one off

An extension switched off adds nothing to the front end, the same as a module. Two of them create records while they are on, and those records are content rather than settings: Custom Login Page creates four pages, and Popup Maker stores each popup as a post. Neither is removed by switching the extension off. Read Uninstalling Squad Modules, and what gets removed before you touch either on a live site.
