Title: Divi Comparability Last modified: December 14, 2017 --- # Divi Comparability * Resolved [littletiger5](https://wordpress.org/support/users/littletiger5/) * (@littletiger5) * [8 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/divi-comparability/) * Hi! I am thinking of switching over to Divi (elegantthemes.com) and build out a new version of my site that I like. I use the perfect quotes all the time tho, and need to know they will work if I do this šŸ™‚ * Thanks so much!

Simply download and activate the Perfect Pullquotes plugin, and write a test page/post utilizing the shortcode. You should be able to see the result when previewing the page or post. * Thread Starter [littletiger5](https://wordpress.org/support/users/littletiger5/) * (@littletiger5) * [8 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/divi-comparability/#post-9783431) * Hi Adam. Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, its not that simple. First, the theme is $250, and second I will need to install it on my site and go through a ton of work to back up the current site, create a sub domain etc..etc.. all to learn it either does or does not work. I was hoping you could tell me, and check. I have HUNDREDS of blog posts with PP.. and if I need to re-do all of them this will factor in with weather or not I bother with any of this. * Do you see where I am coming from.? * Plugin Author [Adam DeHaven](https://wordpress.org/support/users/adamdehaven/) * (@adamdehaven) * [8 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/divi-comparability/#post-9783443) * How would I have any idea if it works with your theme? Just install the plugin and see if it works. If not, use something else. Iā€™m not sure what you expect me to do here. * Thread Starter [littletiger5](https://wordpress.org/support/users/littletiger5/) * (@littletiger5) * [8 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/divi-comparability/#post-9783458) * Seriously? Thatā€™s how you want to respond in a public forum? * Okay then Adam. Sorry to bother you. I guess I just assumed that anyone in the business of making code, would know weather or not itā€™s compatible with a major vendor who has several hundred thousand users. * Also, have a little more empathy. Look man, I get it we are all busy.. but, I was asking a pretty important question, and trying to do the right thing by contacting the dev. before I waste MY time and money on something that wont work or be compatible. * I think there IS a way that you can find out, and are choosing not too. What tech question can I ask of the nice people over at Divi to see if it will work? I am sure there is a way to find out without cutting up my website in the process? * Plugin Author [Adam DeHaven](https://wordpress.org/support/users/adamdehaven/) * (@adamdehaven) * [8 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/divi-comparability/#post-9783499) * You obviously donā€™t understand how WordPress, or ā€œthe business of making code,ā€ works. I gave you a solution to your issue, and itā€™s up to you whether or not youā€™re willing to put forth the effort in testing your own website. * Your ā€œmajor vendorā€ theme author is no different to me than any of the other hundreds of thousands of WordPress themes that exist. I canā€™t possibly know, or pretend to know, what is and is not compatible with every WordPress theme. There could be no compatibility issues with the theme itself, however maybe your web server isnā€™t running a current version of PHP. There are infinite issues that can arise when related to compatibility and itā€™s not up to WordPress plugin developers (who are creating plugins for the community for free) to test compatibility with every theme. * As you can see by the plugin information, itā€™s tested compatible with WordPress version 4.9.1, so the real question is if your theme is compatible. * To your final point: * > I think there IS a way that you can find out, and are choosing not too. What > tech question can I ask of the nice people over at Divi to see if it will work? > I am sure there is a way to find out without cutting up my website in the process? * If you tell me how this could possibly be done, knock yourself out. * Thread Starter [littletiger5](https://wordpress.org/support/users/littletiger5/) * (@littletiger5) * [8 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/divi-comparability/#post-9783576) * Of course I dont know how ā€œthe business of code worksā€ THATS YOUR JOB! Thats why I am here. But, this not give anyone the right to be a dick online, and snap back to someone who loves what you do. * YOU obviously dont understand the business of SALES and keeping people happy! * You did not give a solution, you said ā€œHOW SHOULD I KNOWā€ * If you LISTENED to what I said, I said I have been using PP already, so clearly my PHP works fine. * What I was looking for was something a little more as a matter of fact. Such as, thanks for your question.. I am not sure if it will work or not, but if you can find out if theyā€¦ X, Y, Z (whatever) then I will be able to check and see. But, Nah.. just go and try it was the solution. * Plugin Author [Adam DeHaven](https://wordpress.org/support/users/adamdehaven/) * (@adamdehaven) * [8 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/divi-comparability/#post-9783605) * Go home kid, youā€™re drunk. * Iā€™ll explain this one last time. * Itā€™s not, ā€œmy job,ā€ to support you. This is a free, open-source plugin, and Iā€™ve made it available as a courtesy to other WordPress users. * The original response I provided, in my opinion, is an optimal solution. Iā€™m guessing that it wasnā€™t the response you wanted, however, Iā€™ll again refer you to my original response: * > All themes are different, therefore I canā€™t assure the compatibility of the > plugin.

I have used, and loved PP for years. In my head I thought I had a simple question, and I see now itā€™s more complicated. * I assumed you might know, or have some additional experience with Divi (because itā€™s an amazing theme / platform to build sites). I had no right to assume anything, and I am sorry. * I wish you the very best in 2018, and hope you and everyone stays happy and healthy! * [gunnerman1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gunnerman1/) * (@gunnerman1) * [8 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/divi-comparability/#post-9784522) * ā€œgo through a ton of work to back up the current site,ā€ * Thereā€™s your problem right there. * In all seriousness though, yes $250 is a lot to fork out to test a plug-in but that aside you could fire up a base WP image in Docker and have a WP test install rolling inside of an hour. * I would see if Divi would offer some kind of return policy for you in case it doesnā€™t work though choosing a theme or framework based on a single free open source plugin is probably the wrong approach, after all it is easier to replace a plugin than a theme. - This reply was modified 8 years, 5 months ago by [gunnerman1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gunnerman1/). * Plugin Author [Adam DeHaven](https://wordpress.org/support/users/adamdehaven/) * (@adamdehaven) * [8 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/divi-comparability/#post-9784571) * ā€¦ * Plugin Author [Adam DeHaven](https://wordpress.org/support/users/adamdehaven/) * (@adamdehaven) * [8 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/divi-comparability/#post-9784572) * To wrap up this thread, considering the plug-in is essentially CSS, it should be compatible with all themes. If your theme has overriding blockquote styles, there are plenty of resolved questions here that give instructions on how to restore the look for your theme. * Thread Starter [littletiger5](https://wordpress.org/support/users/littletiger5/) * (@littletiger5) * [8 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/divi-comparability/#post-9784574) * Update..
