The Divi Person module is the best way to create a Personal profile block. This is a great add-on to use on About Me pages or those that feature team members where you want to create a bio of individual people. This module combined text, imagery, and social media links into one cohesive module.
How to configure the Person module of Divi
Before you can add a Divi Person module to your page, you must first jump into Divi Builder. Once the Divi theme is installed on your website, you will notice a Use Divi Builder button above the post editor every time you create a new page. Click on this button to activate Divi Builder and access all the Divi Builder modules. Then click on the Use Visual Builder button to launch the builder in visual mode. You can also click the Use Visual Builder button when browsing your foreground website if you are logged into your WordPress dashboard.
Locate the person module in the list of modules and click on it to add it to your page. The list of modules is searchable, which means you can also type the word “person” and then click enter to automatically find and add the Person module! Once the module is added, you will be greeted by the module options list. These options are separated into three main groups: Content, Design, and Advanced.
Use Case Example: Adding an “Our Team” Section to an About Us Page
The about us page is a good place to introduce your team members using the Person module. It adds a personal touch and can help build trust with new customers.
For this example, I’ll show you how to use the Person module to add an “Our Team” section to a page about a small business. I’m going to use a three-person, three-column layout which keeps the section more compact and matches the overall design of the page.
Using Visual Builder, insert a new standard section with a row of three columns (1/3 1/3 1/3). Then add a Person module to the first column.
Update the settings of the Person module as follows:
Content Options
Name: [Enter person’s name] Position: [Enter person’s position] Enter social media profile URLs Description: [Enter short bio] Image: [Enter 600 x 600 image]
Design options
Icon Color: # fcbf00
Hover Icon Color: # e0a831 Header
Font: Roboto, Bold, Leverage in- Header Font
Size: 30px Header Text
Color: # 505050
Letter header spacing: 1px
height line header: 1.5em
font size body: 18px
body line Size: 1.4em
personalized padding: 15px top right 15px, 15px bottom 15px left
Advanced options (custom CSS)
Main element:
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 1px 5px rgba (0, 0, 0, 0.2);
-moz-box-shadow: 0 1px 5px rgba (0, 0, 0, 0.2);
box-shadow: 0 1px 5px rgba (0, 0, 0, 0.2);
Save settings
Now duplicate the Person module you just created twice and drag the duplicated modules to the second and third columns in the row. Since the design has been carried over for each of the duplicated “Person” modules, all you need to do is update the content with the image, title, position, social media URLs, and description. of the person.
That’s all !
