  • Added a new feature called “URL Triggers” that allows you to trigger the overlay on page load by placing /#overlay-1234 at the end of the URL. (change 1234 with overlay ID).
  • Added three new ways to close overlays:
    • Overlays can now be closed by pressing the escape key
    • Overlays can now be closed by clicking on the overlay background
    • Overlays can now be closed by adding class=“close-divi-overlay” to any link, button, element, etc. from within the overlay.

Now, videos will automatically stop playing when the overlay is closed. This new feature has been fully tested on YouTube, Vimeo, and Wistia videos.
