Divi Machine module overview
This page is the map of Divi Machine modules in Divi 5. Open each Machine-native reference below for settings tables and usage notes. For how listings, filters, and loop templates fit together, start with Key capabilities and Divi 5 vs Divi Machine.
Loops and post display
Use these inside custom loop layouts, Theme Builder templates, and pages where each module’s reference says it is allowed.
| Module | Role |
|---|---|
| Category Loop | Output a loop of terms (categories or other taxonomies). |
| Post Content | Body, excerpt, or taxonomy description. |
| View Post Button | Link, modal, or same-page detail for the current post. |
| Post Title (Ajax Filter) | Title tuned for filtered / Archive Loop cards. |
| Post Thumbnail (Ajax Filter) | Featured image tuned for filtered / Archive Loop cards. |
Custom fields
Custom Field Item is the primary module for values from ACF, Pods, Meta Box, Toolset, SCF, ACPT, and other supported stacks—see Custom field ecosystem. Repeater and Gallery / Slider cover repeater-shaped data and image galleries. Optional text shortcuts: Inline field tags.
Search, sort, and carousels
| Module | Role |
|---|---|
| Search Posts | Search field wired to Machine search and optional live results. |
| Orderby | Sort dropdown for archive and filter rows. |
| Post Carousel | Carousel of posts with a custom loop layout. |
| Post Meta | Author, date, and taxonomy meta lines. |
| Post Slider (deprecated) | Legacy only—prefer native Post Slider or Post Carousel. |
Filtering (bundled Divi Ajax Filter)
These modules come from the Divi Ajax Filter product bundled with Divi Machine. They power faceted archives, AJAX refresh, loop templates, and list or grid layouts.
| Module | Role |
|---|---|
| Archive Loop | Main results loop with template picker and pagination modes. |
| Filter Posts | Filter bank and filter row UI. |
| Filter Items | Individual filter controls inside Filter Posts. |
| Post Thumbnail | Thumbnail module tuned for filtered loops. |
| Post Title | Title module tuned for filtered loops. |
For behavior that spans modules (grids, masonry, load more, infinite scroll), use Divi Ajax Filter features and Key capabilities.
