Page Setup
Setting up a page with Divi Handoff involves three main components: creating your field structure, building visual layouts, and configuring your pages.
The Three-Step Setup
| Step | What You Create | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Field Groups | Define the data structure (fields and layouts) |
| 2 | Handoff Layouts | Build the visual template in Divi |
| 3 | Page Configuration | Connect content to layouts on each page |
Setup Guides
1. Create Field Groups
Choose your custom fields plugin and follow the appropriate guide:
- Creating SCF Field Groups - Use Secure Custom Fields (free, includes Flexible Content)
- Creating ACF Field Groups - Use ACF Pro (paid, includes Flexible Content)
Which Should I Use?
SCF (Secure Custom Fields) is recommended for most users. It's free and includes Flexible Content functionality. ACF Pro is a good choice if you already have a license or need ACF-specific features.
2. Create Divi Handoff Layouts
Once your field groups are ready, create the visual layouts:
- Creating Handoff Layouts - Build Divi layouts that render your Flexible Content
3. Configure Pages
After creating layouts, configure your pages:
- Enable Divi Handoff on the page
- Select which Handoff Layout to use for each Flexible Content row
- Configure header, footer, and sidebar visibility
See Page Settings Reference for all page-level options.
