 * I have installed and activated the plugin, and it works out of the box.
 * Posts created are not using the Divi theme from Elegant Theme which is the default
   theme on my WP installs.
 * How can I configure the plugin to use Divi, or a Divi post template, for the 
   created posts?

 * I’m not a Divi user, but let me ask if the “Divi post template” — does that refer
   to a custom post type, or…?

 * A Divi post template is a template made with the Divi Builder, a front end editing
   tool provided with the Divi theme.
 * Templates can be defined for posts, pages or any custom posts.
 * The trick is that when you create a new resource in WP admin, whether it is a
   post, a page or any custom post type, you first choose manually to build it with
   Gutemberg or the Divi Builder, the default being Gutemberg.
 * As your plugin is automatically creating posts in the front end, it does not 
   explicitely requests to use the Divi Builder.
 * In the database, the post_content column is the raw text entered on the form,
   not the set of shortcodes generated by the Divi Builder.
 * I wonder if there is a way to have a workaround.

 * So if “Divi post template” is a Custom Post Type (CPT), then it is possible to
   [enable CPT for USP](https://perishablepress.com/faqs-user-submitted-posts/#usp-custom-post-type)(
   free version). If it’s not a CPT, then not sure. Also this: “explicitely requests
   to use the Divi Builder” — is not something the plugin does out of the box.

 * I have been able to add some logic in the Divi child theme I use to force use
   of the Divi Builder on posts, so everything is fine now, thanks.
