Rename Divi Projects – now compatible with Divi 5

Marketing image for Digital Shed45's Rename Divi Projects plugin. It reads: Unlock the full potential of Divi Projects and make your site truly unique.

I’ve released a new update for Rename Divi Projects, my plugin that customises Divi’s built-in Projects custom post type so you can use it for content that better fits your site (properties, case studies, books, albums, and more).

Divi 5 compatibility

The big headline: the plugin is now compatible with Divi 5, while continuing to support Divi 4.

If you’re moving to Divi 5 (or already there), you can keep using your renamed Projects setup and continue working with Divi’s project-related modules.

It will soon be available on the Divi Marketplace.

It is now also available on GitHub under a GPL v3 licence.

PhotoDemon – a small, featured-packed portable photo editor

PhotoDemon

I’m always on the lookout for a decent, free image editor. Especially one that I can recommend to web clients who are looking for something simple to editor and resize images.

I often recommend IrfanView, a small, free image viewer that packs in a number of useful features. But for cropping images, it’s a little fiddly.

This week I came across PhotoDemon which describes itself as a 100% free, 100% open-source portable photo editor. And while I’m not thrilled on the name, I have to say, I am very impressed with its ease of use and features.

Resizing images is simple. Cropping images is intuitive. Saving images to other formats is a breeze. It even supports layers and has a variety of visual effects.

For many tasks, this gives my usual photo editor, Corel PaintShop Pro, a good run for its money. It also looks more user-friendly than GIMP, the usual go-to for a free photo editor.

So, if you need a simple to use photo editor that you don’t even need to install, I can recommend PhotoDemon.
