Divi – overlaying module on hero section

Here’s how you can make a module stick to the bottom of the hero section.

This would be helpful for things like newsletter signups, special notices (without using a popup), and contact forms.

The object

We’re going for a layout something like this:

 

The Video

Note: It’s a bit long, but I go through everything for you so you can customize the CSS yourself if you need to.

 

The classes

This time, you need to do TWO things haha

Add a custom class (save-the-world) to the section like this:

And add a custom class (overlay-module) to the module you want to overlay like this:

 

The css

.et_pb_section.save-the-world {
  padding: 0;
  height: 40vw; }
  .et_pb_section.save-the-world .et_pb_row {
    padding: 0;
    height: 40vw;
    width: calc(100% - 120px); /* customizable - was originally 80% */
    max-width: 100%; /* customizable - was originally 1080px */ }
    .et_pb_section.save-the-world .et_pb_row .et_pb_column {
      position: relative;
      height: 40vw;
      display: -webkit-box;
      display: -ms-flexbox;
      display: flex;
      -webkit-box-pack: start;
          -ms-flex-pack: start;
              justify-content: flex-start;
      -webkit-box-align: center;
          -ms-flex-align: center;
              align-items: center; }
      .et_pb_section.save-the-world .et_pb_row .et_pb_column .overlay-module {
        position: absolute;
        bottom: 0;
        right: 0;
        height: auto;
        width: 25vw; /* customizable */
        padding: 1.5rem; /* customizable */
      }

@media all and (max-width: 980px) {
  .et_pb_section.save-the-world {
    height: auto; }
    .et_pb_section.save-the-world .et_pb_row {
      height: auto; }
      .et_pb_section.save-the-world .et_pb_row .et_pb_column {
        -ms-flex-wrap: wrap;
            flex-wrap: wrap;
        height: auto;
        -webkit-box-align: end;
            -ms-flex-align: end;
                align-items: flex-end; }
        .et_pb_section.save-the-world .et_pb_row .et_pb_column .et_pb_module {
          margin-bottom: 0; /* customizable */
        }
        /* if you're not using the code module, you can change the .et_pb_code to something else (like .et_pb_text) */
        .et_pb_section.save-the-world .et_pb_row .et_pb_column .et_pb_code {
          padding-top: 60px; /* customizable */
          padding-bottom: 30px; /* customizable */
          width: 100%; }
        .et_pb_section.save-the-world .et_pb_row .et_pb_column .overlay-module {
          position: relative;
          width: auto; } }

    Why no ads?

    Hi, I'm PK, and I maintain and publish content on this site for two reasons.

    1. To give back to the community. I learned so much from people's tutorials and StackOverflow that I wanted to contribute and help others.

    2. To provide a more structured learning experience. People struggle to find the course that guides them from start to finish, based off of real life experience, and my courses provide that.

    The only "ads" I have here are for my own courses, and maybe an affiliate link, but that's it. They fund the website resources and provide more motivation for me to produce better content.

    Any bit of interest helps. Even sharing with your friends, suggesting my courses to your developer or designer, or subscribing to my YT channel, or joining our Discord. Thanks and I'll see you around!
