Nowadays Video backgrounds are a hugely popular website design trend.
Videos are a great way to share a story keep people on your website longer, engage them with your content and bring any site to life.
In this tutorial I will show you how to do it in Divi and customize it by adding a nice overlay.
Step 1: Look for your perfect Video Background
You can upload your own video or use a Free Stock Video Website like Pexelsand look for a video that covers your business needs.
In Pexels, all videos are free for personal and commercial use.
You can look for your videos by topic and choose position and size.
Step 2: Upload Your Background Video
Once You´ve download your lovely video Open the Divi Section Options.
Upload Your Background Video, This is where we can upload our video. (Note that it is recommended that you upload the video in MP4 format to ensure maximum browser compatibility.)
Save Your Background Video Choice.
Add Some Content to that section, For example I´ve added a Call To Action.
Step 3: Customize adding a lovely overlay
By default it’s not possible to add overlay effect to a section or any other Divi modules that contain a video background.
Usually it’s not a good idea to combine multiple fonts, or font sizes on one text line but there are exceptions where they look good.
In this post I´ll show you how to get this result that you can see on my WordPress theme, Meryl.
Step 1: Add Text module
Add a text module and write text you want to show up. On my example, I´ve added text in h2.
Step 2: Upload your custom font
Upload your custom font.
On my example I have to choose h2 font and upload Modernline font. (you only can use form personal use). Now all text will be displayed with the font you have uploaded. No problem! you already have your font loaded and you have to undo the changes.
Step 4: Add span text
Now we have to select a certain text with a custom font. The aim is to create a beautiful contrast in your text. Go to text content and select text tab.
On my example I want to contrast the word capturing so I need putting the following HTML code: Paste this code and edit your color and font size and text:

In this post I´m going to explain how to add Privacy Policy to Divi Contact Form.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is an European Union and United States law (EU) that requires companies and site owners to disclose the information they collect about their visitors and how this information is used (check out the ultimate guide to WordPress and GDPR compliance.)
All websites collect information about their visitors in different ways ( Comments, Contact forms, Google Analytics, Optin Forms, Google Adsense, ..)
So It´s it is necessary to make clear in Privacy Policy what information you are collecting, why, and how your readers can update, manage, export, and delete their information.
To make your Divi Contact Form GDPR-compliant, simply adding a required consent checkbox with clear explanation should be good enough.
Step 1: Create your Privacy Policy
If you don´t know exactly how to create your Privacy Policy, you can use this awesome generator.
Go to Pages > Create your page > Open More Tools & Options > Select Code editor > Paste code generated below > Publish your page.
Now you have your Privacy Policy created !
Navigate to to Settings > Privacy > Select your Privacy Policy you´ve already created.
Step 2 : Adding Link to Privacy Policy to your Contact Form
Now, open the Contact Form Module (By default, it comes with First Name, Last Name, Email and Message ) and add new field to it.
Add Field ID and Title. This text will appear above checkbox field.
Choose “Checkboxes” as the type of this field.
Type the checkbox and open the hyperlink icon.
Paste the Privacy Policy link and Link Text.

If you build a mailing list, you will have the opportunity to send them your news and offers directly to their email.

Step 5
Enter your MailChimp Account Name and the API key you have created above. Click the Submit button.
Step 6
Select a MailChimp list from the dropdown menu on the list section. Save changes.
