In this video, I talk about the

  • licensing issue of KrafterPRO
  • Divi Design system progress
  • How to upgrade

and more.

Please watch this video, it answers a lot of questions.

I see that V2.1.8 is available. Is THAT KrafterPRO Agency? I have KrafterPRO
License and dashboard says KrafterPRO Yearly Unlimited
Expires on: May 02, 2027.

DO I have to buy the Agency Mak . ?

Question. I'm working with Krafter Pro but i think that the K-Body-text (Base) is way to large. So i decided to make my own body R-body. I went to Chat GPT and asked for a clamp value between Body-Text and Text-small. And Chat GPT came up with a value. I created my variable but it doensn't show up in the pre settings on the right handside. (see attachement).
I also find i strange that the naming of the Pre selectors variables are different on the left and the right.

Like to read some thoughts on this.

Hi community,

Yesterday I needed to test Fluent SMTP on my new Divi 5 site that is still in development on my localhost platform. I soon realized that wasn't possible, so I went to my live Divi 4 site and installed it there. In the process I had to create a test page and in a matter of moments I felt as if I was working in CP/M or DOS vs Windows 11. In my opinion, Divi 5 is light years ahead of Divi 4, but more importantly, KrafterPRO takes it to a new level entirely.

Thank you, Mak, for your incredible work and thank you, Frank Schlatter for the dedicated collaboration you are engaged in with him.

I am a lifetime member but I don't have a license for KrafterPro....how do I go about getting one? I don't have to buy one do I? Isn't it included in my lifetime membership?

Divi 5 has just added a powerful new feature that makes it much easier to create a proper design system directly inside the builder.

In this video, I walk you through the new Divi 5 variable generator and show how you can generate colors, tints, shades, fluid font sizes, spacing, gaps, border radius values, and more — all from inside Divi.

This is a big step forward because most Divi users still design websites by manually guessing font sizes, padding, margins, and colors. That workflow is slow, inconsistent, and difficult to maintain.

With this new Divi 5 update, you can now start your website with a more professional foundation.

In this video, I cover:

  • How the new Divi 5 color palette generator works
  • How to generate colors from a primary brand color
  • How color harmonies work inside Divi 5
  • How to create tints, shades, tones, and alpha colors
  • How to generate fluid clamp-based font sizes
  • How to create spacing, gap, radius, and size variables
  • How to apply these variables inside the Divi Builder
  • Where the new workflow works well
  • Where it still has limitations How KrafterPRO takes this workflow further for freelancers and agencies.

I also show how KrafterPRO helps you reset, export, import, back up, roll back, and hand off full Divi 5 design systems, including colors, fonts, variables, presets, style guides, client handoff PDFs, theme builder templates, and upcoming starter sites.

If you build websites with Divi 5, this is the workflow you need to understand.

Hey MAK,

I have been working with Krafter Pro since two months and it is really a product worthy to work with.

However, I have two questions:

  1. What if I want to change to clamp value - how can I do that? For example for body text, I am not happy with the clamp values - how can I do that?
  2. When I download and install Krafter Pro on a new website, some presets are not installed. For example, border presets XS, S, M, XL are installed and L is not installed. How to resolve this?

Thanks,

I have a client site I am converting to DIVI 5, and using SitekrafterPro. Is there a way to align icons at the bottom of a Blurb, when they are added as an Element within the Blurb?

Here is the page in question - https://blvdpres.birkey.net/ministries/partnerships/

Also, does anyone else get these errors, and of so, what do you do?

Deep Dive into Divi 5: I’m back with insights! 🚀

After over a week of intense research, testing, and getting lost in the new Divi 5 variable structure, I’ve finally cracked the code. It was a wild ride involving:

  • Digging deep into the Divi 5 API
  • Endless database rollbacks
  • Navigating tricky side effects in the Variable Manager
  • Memorizing developer docs to find the "why" behind the "how"

Managing variables and categories in Divi 5 is a completely different beast compared to Presets. While the implementation is elegant, the logic is highly complex. Huge respect to the team at Elegant Themes—handling these database operations without breaking the Divi core is a masterclass in architecture.

I encountered bugs where even a "Save" button wouldn't trigger a click event, with zero errors in the console. Tricky? Absolutely.

But I’ve done the heavy lifting so you don’t have to. I’ll be sharing a series of articles explaining what you need to know when creating your own variables or importing presets from external sources.

Stay tuned!
Best, Frank

  • Still on dev on the KrafterPRO Plugin!
  • Spoiler Alert: Variable management in KrafterPRO is now fully tested and working perfectly. I’m now moving on to the next areas that need testing and fine-tuning.
  • Stay tuned! I’ll share some simple guides on the KrafterPRO workflow as soon as I’ve handed over the next working version to Mak. He’ll handle the rollout and is being fully briefed by me.

Is there a way to make adjustments on Krafter-Lite? I'm finding the paragraph text too small.
