Backup your page before editing!

There are a couple of ways to do this, both through the Yoast Duplicator plugin:

What builder to use?

I currently have the Divi builder and the Elementor Pro builder available on all WordPress sites I maintain. You can find out which builder (if any) a page is using in the Admin bar at the top of the page by clicking “Edit Page”

If your page is not currently using either builder I would suggest using the Elementor builder.

If you are using the Standard WordPress editor your page will look like this:
This editor is fine for simple pages, If you are wanting to spruce up the page I’d recommend using the Elementor Builder.

If you are using Elementor your page will look like this:


If you want to switch from Elementor to Divi Builder ALWAYS convert back to WordPress editor first, then click update, then click “Use Divi Builder”
WARNING! Make a page backup, you may loose formatting.

If you are using Divi your page will look like this:

If you want to switch from Divi Builder to Elementor Builder. ALWAYS convert back to WordPress editor FIRST, then click update, then click “Edit with Elementor”
WARNING! you may lose formatting.

Elementor Pro Builder (Recommended)

The videos below will give you a basic understanding of the Elementor Builder. This is the builder I am currently recommending 

In the future I will be moving over to Elementor rather than Divi because it is more robust and flexible. Also, it is the most popular web builder at this time and has an enormous amount of widgets  to do specialized things

Either Divi or Elementor can be used on your site to design a page BUT they cannot both be used on the same page.
