A new logo, a new color or a new font sounds like a small change. On a Divi site that has grown page by page, it can mean hunting through hundreds of modules. Here’s where your brand actually lives in Divi and how to change it in one place.
Where your brand lives in Divi
- Global colors. Colors saved as global colors update everywhere they’re used when you change them once. Colors typed into a module by hand don’t.
- Fonts. Theme Options and the Theme Customizer set the default heading and body fonts. Modules and presets can override them.
- Presets. Module and option presets carry styles to every module that uses them. Change the preset, and every module using it follows.
- Logo and site icon. The logo is set in Theme Options or in your Theme Builder header. The site icon (favicon) is set in WordPress’s Site Identity settings.
- Business name. It tends to be typed into headers, footers and page text, so it needs a search, not a setting.
The manual route
- Back up the site first.
- Update your global colors to the new palette.
- Update the default fonts, then check the presets that set their own fonts.
- Replace the logo in Theme Options or the Theme Builder header, and the site icon in Site Identity.
- Click through the main pages on desktop and phone, looking for colors that were typed in by hand and didn’t change.
The more of your site uses global colors and presets, the faster this goes. If you’re building a new Divi site, setting those up from the start is the best favor you can do your future self.
The one-go route
We made Divi Brand Swap for this job. It scans your current brand, then lets you pick the new colors, fonts, logo, site icon and (optionally) business name. You preview every change and leave out anything you want to keep. It saves a full backup first, and Undo this swap puts the exact previous values back. Changes go through Divi’s own settings, so every page stays editable in the Divi Builder.
It works with Divi 4 and Divi 5. See the Brand Swap user guide for the steps.
