Acc User Icon
Divi 5 only
Acc User Icon is a Divi 5 module. There is no Classic Builder version.
Purpose and when to use
Acc User Icon is the account control for a header. Logged-in members see an icon or their profile photo, an optional unread count, and a dropdown with their name, email, recent notifications, and links. Logged-out visitors can see a Sign in link.
Place it in the header. Placement can move it into the Divi Menu, or leave it in the column where you added it.
In the Visual Builder, clicking the icon hides or shows the dropdown preview so it does not cover other content.
Before you configure this module
- The account URL is set. See Main settings.
- Turn on notifications if the dropdown or the count should list them. The icon still works for sign in, account, and log out when notifications are off.
Quick setup
- Add Acc User Icon from Divi Machine Accounts in the header.
- Set Placement to Inside the Divi Menu or In this column.
- Leave Open dropdown as Click, or choose Hover. Touch and keyboard users can always use click.
- Leave Show notification count on if you want the unread badge.
- Hide any dropdown section you do not want: name, email, notifications, or the footer links.
