Key capabilities
Use this page when you want the big picture before opening individual Features guides or Modules references. Each pillar links to deeper docs in this site; Divi Loop Extender is the dedicated reference for Loop Builder extensions that ship inside Divi Machine as part of the bundled Ajax Filter stack.
Custom fields and dynamic display
Divi Machine is built around type-aware field display—not a single vendor lock-in. Read Custom field ecosystem for supported providers (ACF, Pods, Meta Box, Toolset, SCF, ACPT, and more), then use Custom Field Item in loop layouts and templates. Layer Repeater, table, and tabs, maps (with Divi 5 map wiring), and galleries when the layout needs it.
Filtered archives and discovery
Archive Loop and Filter Posts (bundled Divi Ajax Filter modules) are the engine for faceted listings: AJAX refresh, loop layouts, pagination, load more, and shareable filter URLs. Divi Loop Extender ships with Divi Machine as part of that same bundle—it extends Divi 5 Loop Builder with deeper queries, relationships, and sorting on native loops. Start with the Archive Loop module and Filter Posts module references, then explore Ajax Filter features for UI behavior, grids, and query topics. For Loop Builder–specific depth, use the Divi Loop Extender documentation (same stack as inside Machine).
Search and live discovery
Search Posts shares the same filter-row patterns as archive pages. Configure the module and site search scope from Search form and the Search Posts module reference.
Core Divi, extended
Keep native Divi modules and wire Insert Dynamic Content on Map, Gallery, Circle Counter, Number Counter, Bar Counter, Video, Countdown, and Post Slider / Fullwidth Post Slider where Machine extends them for custom posts and archives. Read Native modules and dynamic content for the canonical “module overrides” story (Divi 5 binds fields on the module, not via Machine settings for map pins). For a full inventory, see Complete feature list.
Multilingual and URLs
Machine modules register strings for translation workflows, and filtered URLs are designed to stay consistent when visitors share links. Pair builder copy with your multilingual plugin’s string workflow; use Ajax Filter features for filter-specific behavior docs.
Operator and site tools
Before opening the builder, you can model content and tune performance from WordPress admin (post types, taxonomies, search scopes, backups, migration helpers, and Divi Engine → Divi Ajax Filter settings when the standalone filter plugin is not installed). Installation and Overview cover setup; advanced admin topics continue to grow in this documentation set.
