⚡ Built for Divi 5
ALP Quick Modules for Divi integrates directly with the Divi 5 module picker while preserving the native builder workflow.
It supports both the Visual Builder and Theme Builder and keeps your favorite and recent Divi modules and Components close at hand while you build.
Divi Components are supported in Divi 5.15 and newer.
🔒 Privacy Friendly
The plugin works locally inside your WordPress installation. Favorite and recent module names, along with stable identifiers for saved Divi Components, are stored as WordPress user metadata in your site’s own database.
It does not track users, send analytics, require an external account, or communicate with third-party services.
Stored Favorites and Recent preferences can be erased through WordPress privacy tools. Deactivating the plugin keeps your preferences, while deleting the plugin removes them from the database.
🚀 Why Quick Modules?
As a Divi site grows, the module picker can contain dozens of native modules, third-party modules, and reusable Components. ALP Quick Modules for Divi reduces that friction by keeping the items you actually use within easy reach.
Favorite them once, reorder them however you like, and access them directly whenever you open the Divi 5 module picker.

Privacy
ALP Quick Modules for Divi does not collect or transmit personal data. Favorite and recent module names and stable Divi Component identifiers are stored as WordPress user metadata in the site’s own database. The plugin makes no remote requests and includes no analytics or telemetry.
Stored preferences can be erased through WordPress privacy tools and are removed when the plugin is deleted. Deactivating the plugin does not remove preferences.

Changelog
1.0.6
- Keeps Divi 5.15.1’s native fluid Add From Library width untouched by using a removable New Module-only width class instead of overwriting Divi’s inline width.
- Clips Favorite-star overlays to the active module-picker body and matches their z-index to the Divi modal, preventing stars from appearing over the builder toolbar, page canvas, or modal tabs while scrolling.
- Prevents Quick Modules sizing, overlays, and dragging from affecting Divi’s Add From Library and New Row tabs; those tabs now retain Divi 5.15.1’s native dimensions and layout.
- Adds Favorites and Recent support for Divi Components introduced in Divi 5.15.
- Stores Components with their stable Divi component ID, library type, module type, and display name instead of relying on the visible name alone.
- Keeps Components with identical names separate in Favorites and Recent and supports renamed Components by stable identity.
- Supports Divi’s lazy-loaded Component list when launching a saved Component from Favorites or Recent.
- Fixes Favorite-star rendering for every visible Divi Component tile, including Components with duplicate or different display names.
- Collects every direct picker button in Divi 5.15.1 before class-based fallbacks, preventing Component tiles from being skipped during React renders.
- Uses Divi 5.15.1’s native Component picker selector and data attributes directly, with a React-safe body-level Favorite overlay.
- Preserves existing module Favorites and Recent preferences without resetting user data.
- Verified compatibility with Divi 5.15.1 module-picker structure and Component data attributes.
1.0.5
- Keeps nested Add Element module pickers from opening far off-center.
- Adds drag-to-move support using the native Divi modal header.
- Preserves the stable 1.0.4 picker sizing, localization, search, scroll, third-party module behavior, and WordPress.org review fixes.
- Replaces the static clock icon innerHTML assignment with DOM-safe SVG node creation.
- Adds a WordPress personal-data eraser for stored Favorites and Recent preferences.
- Removes stored Quick Modules user preferences only when the plugin is deleted, not when it is deactivated.
- Updated bundled translations to better align with official WordPress locale glossaries, including Spanish terminology corrections for es_ES and regional wording adjustments for es_CR.
1.0.4
- Use WordPress-generated AJAX endpoint URLs instead of constructing admin endpoint paths in JavaScript.
- Use the plugin-specific ALPQMD/alpqmd prefix for global PHP, AJAX, JavaScript, nonce, and user-meta identifiers to prevent conflicts.
- Fix WordPress Plugin Check i18n errors caused by runtime module-name lookups.
- Resolve saved Divi module labels through Divi’s loaded translation catalogs without using low-level translate() with dynamic strings.
- Restore the proven 1.0.3 picker detection, width, search, MutationObserver, and virtualized-scroll behavior to prevent the module picker from shrinking or losing favorite stars after scrolling/searching.
- Migrate previously saved French/Spanish core labels such as Bouton, Galerie, Botón and Galería to stable Divi source names.
- Display migrated Favorites and Recent items in the current Divi interface language while keeping third-party module names untouched.
- Store stable core-module identities when Divi exposes an et_pb_* slug, reducing future cross-language preference issues.
- Preserve the translated-interface and strict third-party collision protections introduced in 1.0.3.
1.0.3
- Fix fully translated Divi interfaces (including French) not loading Quick Modules.
- Prevent third-party modules with similar names (for example Advanced Blurb) from being inserted instead of the intended native Divi module.

- Resolve localized module labels using Divi translations and stable module identity hints before falling back to conservative label matching.
- Prefer localized module-picker title/search signals before structural fallback detection.
- Keep settings-panel false-positive protections introduced in 1.0.2.
1.0.2
- Critical fix: prevents Favorites and Recent from appearing inside Divi module settings panels.
- Restricts Quick Modules enhancements to the actual Insert Module picker.

- Strengthens translated-picker detection without changing the approved responsive sizing.
