Page Settings
The Divi Handoff Setting meta box appears on pages and posts where you can enable and configure Divi Handoff. These settings control how the current page renders Flexible Content layouts.
Accessing Page Settings
- Edit any page or post in WordPress
- Look for the Divi Handoff Setting meta box in the sidebar (right side)
- If you don't see it, click Screen Options at the top and ensure the meta box is checked
The meta box only appears on post types that support Divi Handoff. By default, this includes Pages.
