How do I get additional icons in Divi?

There are many sites that offer a lot of free or paid resources for the Divi theme. As this WordPress theme is widely used in the web world (by agencies or freelancers), its community is growing and very active.

So back to the point, to get extra icons for free, you can go to the dedicated page of the Divi Space website.

By clicking the "Donwload Now" button , you will be prompted to create a free account and then you can begin downloading the Divi Icon Expansion Pack.

 

What does the Divi Icon Expansion Pack consist of?

Once you have your download, you will see that the folder is made up of two other folders:

1. The folder named "DIEP-Icon-Files.zip": it contains a set of 300 hand-drawn icons that can be used in both commercial and personal creative projects.
2. The folder called "ds-icon-expansion-pack-1.0.0.zip": this is the plugin that adds the extra icons to Divi and that you can use with both the Divi Builder and the Visual Builder.

How do I install the Divi Icon Expansion Pack?

Divi Space has provided a plugin, which is quite reassuring because in 2 clicks, you will benefit from the 300 additional icons in Divi. No need to get your hands in the code.

To install this free plugin, you have two solutions:

1. From the WordPress administration: go to the Extensions tab > Add > Upload extension > Browse > Install. This will allow you to retrieve the plugin that is on your computer (the one you downloaded before). Be careful, this way you have to import the compressed folder (.zip).
2. Via FTP: if you are comfortable with an FTP client such as Filezilla for example, you can simply drop the plugin at www > wp-content > plugins. Be careful, this way, it is the unzipped folder that you will need.

 

How to activate the new icon pack?

Once installed, you will find the plugin in the list of your extensions. All you have to do is activate it, but that's not all, you also have to activate your license. Even if it is a free plugin and you can use it in an unlimited number of projects, Divi Space has provided protection.

Here's how to get your API key back:

 

First, you will see a message in the Installed Extensions tab: "activate your licence key". Click on it and it will take you to the tab for your API key.

 

 

To retrieve your API key, you will need :

1. click on the Purchase History link in the email you received after downloading,
2. click on View License,
3. click on Key to get it,
4. Go back to your site administration, to the Divi > Icon Expansion Packtab,
5. enter your key and activate it.

 

 

Where are the new additional icons?

Now that the plugin is installed and your license has been activated, adding the new icons will be simple. Just use the Divi Builder as usual and a collection of over 300 icons will be displayed in compatible modules such as the SUMMARY module, BUTTON module etc.

I made a small demo for the occasion:

 

As you have seen in the video, you can use these additional icons via the Divi Builder or via the Visual Builder.
