Body Text Options

Manages the typography and alignment of body content text within Divi 5 modules.

Quick Reference

What it controls: Text alignment and text shadow for body/paragraph content areas Where to find it: Design Tab → Text (Body Text section) Available on: Modules with body content (Text, Blurb, CTA, Toggle, Accordion, Testimonial, and others) Responsive: Yes — alignment and shadow values can be set per breakpoint ET Docs: Official documentation

Overview

The Body Text options group (referred to as "Text" in some module panels) provides design controls that apply to the main content text area of a module. This includes paragraph text, list items, and any non-title text content rendered by the module.

These settings are located in the Design tab. They allow you to set a global text alignment for all text in the module, as well as apply a text shadow effect. While the general Text options group handles broad alignment and shadow, the Body Text group may provide additional font-level controls depending on the module context.

Body Text settings work alongside Title Text and Closed Title Text options. The general text settings act as a baseline, and the more specific typography groups (Title Text, Body Text) allow you to override individual aspects for their respective content areas.

For additional reference, see the official Elegant Themes documentation.
