Divi Machine - Take Your Websites to the Next Level 6.3.9

**Divi Machine** (by Divi Engine) is widely considered the most powerful "development" plugin for the Divi ecosystem. While Divi is great for designing static pages, Divi Machine turns it into a full-scale Content Management System (CMS). 

It allows you to create complex, data-driven websites—like real estate listings, car directories, or job boards—without writing a single line of PHP code.

### 🚀 The "Level Up" Features 

Divi Machine’s primary purpose is to bridge the gap between **Advanced Custom Fields (ACF)** and the **Divi Builder**. 

* **Custom Post Type (CPT) Creator:** Build new types of content (e.g., "Properties," "Events," "Team Members") directly from your WordPress dashboard. 
* **ACF Integration:** Easily display custom data (like a car's mileage, a house's price, or an event's date) anywhere in your Divi layouts using specialized modules. 
* **Ajax Filtering & Search:** Add powerful, "live" search bars and filters (checkboxes, ranges, dropdowns) so users can find specific items instantly without page reloads. 
* **Custom Loop Layouts:** Design a single "card" in the Divi Library, and Divi Machine will use that design to generate your entire archive grid automatically. 
* **ACF Repeater Support:** One of the few plugins that allows you to visually style and display ACF Repeater fields (lists of data within a single post) using Divi.

### 🛠 Use Cases: What can you build? 

If your project requires more than just a "Contact" and "About" page, Divi Machine is likely the tool you need: 

* **Real Estate Sites:** Filter by number of bedrooms, price range, or location. 
* **Member Directories:** Sort team members by department or expertise. 
* **Recipe Blogs:** Categorize and filter by "Cooking Time," "Dietary Needs," or "Difficulty." 
* **Review Sites:** Display star ratings and technical specs stored in custom fields.

### 💡 Pro Tip: Performance 

Because Divi Machine generates content dynamically from the database, it can be resource-intensive. 

1. **Use a Caching Plugin:** Ensure you have a good caching layer (like WP Rocket or Divi Nitro). 
2. **Enable only what you need:** In the Divi Machine settings, you can toggle specific modules on/off to keep your Divi Builder sidebar clean and fast.
