It will soon be time to say goodbye to this year. However, I think it would be unfair to forget this year so easily, that's why I offer you in this list, the 35 best selling and popular WordPress plugins of the year on CodeCanyon, which marked this year.

But before, let's discover together How to Install a WordPress Blog in 7 Steps et How to search, install and activate a WordPress theme on your blog.

Then, back to why we are here.

1. Divi Builder

Divi Builder is a high quality page builder highly valued by Elegant Themes. Although it is generally used as part of the Divi WordPress theme, Divi Builder is also a standalone plugin that you can use on other WordPress themes.

Unlike the two previous manufacturers, Divi Builder allows you to edit your content using a visual interface on the front end as well as a interface on the back end, although most users prefer the first interface.

Basically, instead sidebars, everything is in popups and floating buttons. It gives you access to 316 predefined templates spread across 40 different presentation packs, as well as the ability to save your own designs as templates.

One of the features of Divi has always been style control that he gives you. On three different tabs, you can configure various parameters, including responsive controls, customizable spacing, etc.

You can even add custom CSS, because its CSS editor integrates basic validation and auto-completion. One of the criticisms of Divi Builder has always been that it is based on shortcodes. Which means that if you disable it one day, it will leave a bunch of shortcodes in your content. While this is a little depressing, it is less of a problem now that plugins like Shortcode Cleaner exist.
