The Divi Fullwidth Portfolio Module
How to add, configure and customize the Divi fullwidth portfolio module.
The Fullwidth Portfolio module works just like the normal Portfolio module, except that it displays your project in a beautiful Fullwidth fashion. It also comes with some unique new layouts: Grid & Carousel. The module works by displays a list of your most recent Projects, and can be used by designers and artists that want to display a gallery of their most recent work.
How To Add A Fullwidth Portfolio Module To Your Page
Before you can add a fullwidth portfolio module to your page, you will first need to jump into the Divi Builder. Once the Divi Theme has been installed on your website, you will notice a Use Divi Builder button above the post editor every time you are building a new page. Clicking this button will enable the Divi Builder, giving you access to all of the Divi Builder’s modules. Next, click the Use Visual Builder button to launch the builder in Visual Mode. You can also click the Use Visual Builder button when browsing your website on the front end if you are logged in to your WordPress Dashboard.
Once you have entered the Visual Builder, you can click the gray plus button to add a new module to your page. New modules can only be added inside of Rows. If you are starting a new page, don’t forget to add a row to your page first. We have some great tutorials about how to use Divi’s row and section elements.
Locate the fullwidth portfolio module within the list of modules and click it to add it to your page. The module list is searchable, which means you can also type the word “fullwidth portfolio” and then click enter to automatically find and add the fullwidth portfolio module! Once the module has been added, you will be greeted with the module’s list of options. These options are separated into three main groups: Content, Design and Advanced.

For this example, I’m going to show you how to showcase a portfolio on a portfolio page that spans the full width of the page.

Fullwidth Portfolio Advanced Options
Within the advanced tab, you will find options that more experienced web designers might find useful, such as custom CSS and HTML attributes.

You can also apply custom CSS classes and IDs to the module, which can be used to customize the module within your child theme’s style.css file.
CSS ID
Enter an optional CSS ID to be used for this module. An ID can be used to create custom CSS styling, or to create links to particular sections of your page.
CSS Class
Enter optional CSS classes to be used for this module. A CSS class can be used to create custom CSS styling. You can add multiple classes, separated with a space. These classes can be used in your Divi Child Theme or within the Custom CSS that you add to your page or your website using the Divi Theme Options or Divi Builder Page Settings.
Custom CSS
Custom CSS can also be applied to the module and any of the module’s internal elements. Within the Custom CSS section, you will find a text field where you can add custom CSS directly to each element. CSS input into these settings are already wrapped within style tags, so you need only enter CSS rules separated by semicolons.

Automatic Carousel Speed
Here you can designate how fast the carousel rotates, if ‘Automatic Carousel Rotation’ option is enabled above. The higher the number, the longer the pause between each rotation. (Ex. 1000 = 1 sec)
Visibility
This option lets you control which devices your module appears on. You can choose to disable your module on tablets, smart phones or desktop computers individually. This is useful if you want to use different modules on different devices, or if you want to simplify the mobile design by eliminating certain elements from the page.
