54 free Divi modules + 8 extensions for the Divi 5 Visual Builder and the classic Divi 4 builder. One plugin, nothing to migrate.

== Description ==

**Squad Modules Lite** is the most complete free Divi module pack built for **Divi 5**. It adds **54 free modules and 8 extensions** — all 54 run *natively* inside the Divi 5 Visual Builder (Block API), and 53 of them also run in the classic Divi 4 builder. Install once, build in either version — your existing pages keep working and new ones get the full Divi 5 experience.

Trusted by Divi builders worldwide and actively maintained — with frequent security patches, new modules, and same-day fixes for new Divi releases.

**Why Squad Modules?**

- **Truly Divi 5 native — all 54 modules** — every single module is a first-class Block API citizen with full Visual Builder support, live preview, and design controls. Not a handful of modules, not "static modules only" — the entire library runs natively in Divi 5.
- **The largest free module library** — 54 free modules across 6 categories, more than any other free Divi module pack, with no feature paywalls on the free set.
- **Divi 4 supported, zero migration** — 53 of the 54 modules also run in the classic Divi 4 builder (Post Carousel is Divi 5-only). Pages built in Divi 4 stay in Divi 4; new Divi 5 pages use the native modules. No migration, no broken layouts, no conversion step.
- **8 free extensions** — site-wide helpers that aren't modules: post duplication, Divi Library shortcodes, login-page branding, font/SVG/JSON uploads, and more.
- **Lean by design** — disable any module or extension from the React dashboard; only active items load assets on the front end, so your pages stay fast.
- **Form stylers for 9 plugins** — natively style Contact Form 7, WPForms, Gravity Forms, Ninja Forms, Fluent Forms, Forminator, Formidable, MetForm, and SureForms — no custom CSS.
- **Maintained and secure** — frequent security patches, Divi compatibility updates, and new modules. WPML-ready and translation-ready out of the box.

**Switching from another Divi module pack?** Squad Modules covers the most-used modules from popular free add-ons — team member, testimonial, pricing table, icon box, advanced tabs, flip box, before/after slider, dividers, typing text, gradient text, business hours, image carousel, Lottie, post grid, form stylers, and more — and adds the one thing most of them still lack: complete, native Divi 5 support across the whole library.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

**Is Squad Modules Lite free?**
Yes, completely free with no feature limits on the 54 included modules. [Squad Modules Pro](https://squadmodules.com/pricing?utm_campaign=wporg&utm_source=squadmoduleslite&utm_medium=textlink) adds 30+ premium modules.

**Do I need the Divi theme or Divi Builder to use this plugin?**
Yes. Squad Modules extends Divi, so you need the Divi theme, the Extra theme, or the Divi Builder plugin (4.13 or higher, including Divi 5) installed and active. It does not work as a standalone page builder.

**Will Squad Modules slow down my site?**
No. Only the modules and extensions you enable load assets on the front end — everything you disable adds zero CSS or JavaScript. Assets are scoped per module, so a page only loads what it actually uses. You can toggle anything off from the dashboard to keep your site lean.

**How is Squad Modules different from other free Divi module packs?**
Two things: scale and Divi 5 readiness. Squad Modules ships 54 free modules — the largest free Divi module library — and *every* one of them runs natively in the Divi 5 Visual Builder via the Block API, not just a subset of "static" modules. You also keep full Divi 4 support in the same plugin, with nothing to migrate.

**Can I switch from another Divi modules plugin without rebuilding my pages?**
Squad Modules installs alongside your current setup, so you can adopt its modules gradually. Pages built with another plugin's modules are unaffected. We recommend backing up before any major change, then rebuilding sections with Squad modules at your own pace.

**Does it work with Divi 5 and the new Visual Builder?**
Yes. Every module runs as a native Divi 5 Block API module with full Visual Builder support — live preview, design controls, and frontend output. Divi 4 builder support is also fully maintained.

**Are all 54 modules available in both Divi 4 and Divi 5?**
Almost. All 54 modules run natively in the Divi 5 Visual Builder. 53 of them also run in the classic Divi 4 builder — the only Divi 5-exclusive module is Post Carousel. Everything else behaves identically in both builders.

**Do I need to migrate anything when switching from Divi 4 to Divi 5?**
No. The same plugin handles both builders. Pages built in Divi 4 keep working in Divi 4; new pages built in Divi 5 use the native Divi 5 modules. Nothing to migrate or convert.

**Which Divi version is required?**
Divi theme, Extra theme, or Divi Builder plugin version 4.13 or higher, including all Divi 5 releases.

**Can I disable modules I don't need?**
Yes. Go to **Divi Squad → Modules** and toggle any module on or off. Disabled modules load zero assets on the front end.

**Does it work with WPML?**
Yes. Module attributes for translatable content are registered in `wpml-config.xml`.

**Will updates break my existing pages?**
Updates are tested against all supported Divi and WordPress versions before release. As a precaution, back up before any major update. If you encounter an issue, [contact support](https://squadmodules.com/support?utm_campaign=wporg&utm_source=squadmoduleslite&utm_medium=textlink).

**How do I get support?**
Free: [WordPress.org support forum](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/squad-modules-for-divi/) or [Facebook community](https://www.facebook.com/groups/squadmodules/). Pro: [priority email support](https://squadmodules.com/support?utm_campaign=wporg&utm_source=squadmoduleslite&utm_medium=textlink).

== Upgrade Notice ==
= 4.2.0 =
Feature release: 5 new free modules — Team Member, Testimonial, Pricing Table, Icon Box, and Advanced Tabs — each native in both the Divi 5 Visual Builder and the classic Divi 4 builder. The free library now has 54 modules, the largest of any free Divi pack. No migration; existing pages keep working.

= 4.1.1 =
Security and bug-fix patch: resolves XSS and CSS injection vulnerabilities in multiple Divi 4 and Divi 5 modules, fixes output-buffer leaks in auth form modules, corrects wrong CSS selectors and inverted form conditions, and improves Visual Builder previews for 9 Divi 5 modules.

= 4.1.0 =
Feature release: a rebuilt React admin dashboard (live stats, module/extension management, dark mode) and 15 new modules including Social Share, Table of Contents, Number Counter, Advanced Button, Hover Box, Animated Heading, Image Carousel, and Logo Grid. The admin page slug changed from "divi_squad_dashboard" to "divi_squad"; old bookmarks are redirected automatically. Divi 4 and Divi 5 builder support continue unchanged.

== Changelog ==
= 4.2.0 (20-06-2026) =

**New Modules:**
- **Team Member** — team/staff cards with photo, role, bio, social links and schema.org `Person` markup; repeatable child items.
- **Testimonial** — customer reviews with avatar, rating, name/role and schema.org `Review` markup; repeatable child items.
- **Pricing Table** — responsive pricing plans with featured-column highlight, ribbon, tick/cross feature lists, CTA button and per-plan accent + button text colours; repeatable child items.
- **Icon Box** — blurb-style box pairing an icon, image or Lottie animation with a title, content, optional badge and a clickable box link, with top/left/right layouts.
- **Advanced Tabs** — tabbed content with horizontal / vertical layouts, mobile-accordion mode, icon tabs, URL-hash deep-linking and full keyboard/ARIA support; repeatable child Tab items.

**Improvements:**
- The free module library grows to 54 modules — the largest of any free Divi pack — with 53 running in both Divi 5 and Divi 4 (Post Carousel remains Divi 5-only).
- Extended WPML String Translation config for every new module's translatable attributes.

= 4.1.1 (19-06-2026) =

**Security:**
- Fixed XSS in Typing Text (D4) — `text_element_tag` prop was used as a raw HTML tag name without allowlist validation; `wp_kses_post()` on a plain string like `script` does not strip it.
- Fixed CSS injection in Image Gallery (D4) — `esc_attr()` on CSS custom-property values does not strip `;`; replaced with `absint()` and `sanitize_css_length()`.
- Fixed CSS injection in Image Mask (D5) — decoration layer fill color written into a `<style>` block via `esc_attr()` instead of `sanitize_css_background()`.
- Fixed CSS injection in Post Grid (D5) — gap CSS custom property value not length-validated before insertion.
- Fixed CSS injection in Video Popup, Image Mask (D4) — color and transform values interpolated into `set_style()` declarations without sanitization.
- Fixed CSS injection in Gradient Text, Skill Bar, Divider (D5) — missing semicolons in declarations and wrong escape function in class attributes.
- Fixed XSS across 9 D4 modules (Scrolling Text, Dual Button, Drop Cap Text, Advanced Button, Table of Contents, Text Highlighter, Drop Cap Text, Lottie, Glitch Text) — prop values used in HTML output without proper escaping.

**Bug fixes:**
- Fixed output-buffer leaks in all 4 Auth form modules (D4) — catch blocks returned without calling `ob_get_clean()`, leaking the open buffer on exceptions.
- Fixed Forminator form condition (D4) — inverted `'' !== $form_html` meant the form never rendered; corrected to `'' === $form_html`.
- Fixed Post Reading Time wrong toggle slug and broken CSS selector (D4).
- Fixed Flip Box front button border applying to wrong slide (D4) and missing leading dots in several CSS selectors.
- Fixed Video Popup icon opacity selector and wrong `use_overlay` default (D4).
- Fixed Star Rating display type default and wrong font transition group (D4).
- Fixed Post Grid Child `prop()` fallback typo `' off'` → `'off'` (D4).
- Fixed ob_start leak in Post Grid and Ninja Forms catch blocks (D4).
- Added missing `aria-hidden` on decorative elements in Breadcrumbs and Hover Box (D4).
- Added missing image alt field to Number Counter (D4).
- Added missing root CSS classes and fixed VB preview styles for 24 Divi 5 modules.
- Fixed Skill Bar spacing selector and Post Grid load-more button style (D5).

**Refactor:**
- Consolidated `sanitize_css_background()` and `sanitize_css_length()` into the D4 and D5 abstract base classes — removed 43 identical private static copies across module files (-6,087 lines).

= 4.1.0 (09-06-2026) =

**New Modules:**
- **Social Share** — share buttons for popular networks, fully server-rendered and CSS-only.
- **Table of Contents** — auto-generated, anchor-linked contents from page headings.
- **Number Counter** — animated count-up numbers with prefix/suffix and styling controls.
- **Advanced Button** — richer button with dual icons, hover styles, and states.
- **Text Highlighter** — animated highlight/underline effects for emphasis text.
- **Inline Content** — mix text, icons, images, buttons, and dividers in a single flowing line.

- **Animated Heading** — headlines with rotating/animated phrases.
- **Floating Images** — decorative images with parallax-style floating motion.
- **Image Reveal** — images that reveal on scroll or hover.
- **Advanced Video** — styled video player with custom poster and overlay controls.
- **Image Carousel** — touch-friendly image carousel with autoplay, loop, and effects.
- **Logo Grid** — responsive grid/marquee of brand logos.
- **Skill Bar** — animated progress/skill bars with labels and percentages.
- **Author Box** — author bio block with avatar, social links, and layouts.

**Admin Dashboard Redesign:**
- Rebuilt the admin area as a modern React single-page app (Tailwind + shadcn) with a light/dark theme.
- Live dashboard stats and a modules-by-category library breakdown.
- Modules and Extensions management with search, category filters, bulk actions, and an unsaved-changes save bar.
- What's New changelog timeline, real Freemius affiliate program terms and application status, and an Account screen with license activation and an anonymous-usage-sharing toggle.
- Brand-aligned Freemius account, pricing, and affiliation pages.

**Changes:**
- Renamed the admin page slug from `divi_squad_dashboard` to `divi_squad`. Existing links and bookmarks to the old slug (including Freemius sub-pages) are permanently redirected to the new slug automatically.

**Improvements:**
- Reorganized the Divi 4 and Divi 5 builder source into a shared structure, consolidating cross-version Supports/Module helpers and the build shell.
- Standardized PHP interface and class naming, and added per-module brand icons for the Divi 4 builder.
- Generated an inline module-icon registry at build time for the admin app.
- Expanded automated test coverage for the core and builder layers.

**Bug Fixes:**
- Fixed two fatal errors in the Inline Content module caused by method overrides incompatible with `ET_Builder_Element` (`render_button`, `render_image`).
- Fixed the Modules/Extensions batch enable/disable save path and URL-unsafe category routes in the REST API.
- Corrected the admin REST namespace, dashboard live-data mapping, and several admin styling regressions against wp-admin core CSS.
