How To Add A Bar Counter Module To Your Page

Before you can add a bar counter 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 bar counter 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 “bar counter” and then click enter to automatically find and add the bar counter 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.

Use Case Example: Using the Bar Counters Module to Display Project Goals in a Case Study

One great ways to use the Bar Counters Module is to illustrate stats for case studies. Simply label each bar with a certain project feature or goal so the user knows what services where included in the project. In this example, I’m adding using the Bar Module to display three project Goals.

As you can see the, the top of the page includes the three project goals using the Bar Counter Module and the bottom of the page includes the results of the case study using the Number Counter Module.

Let’s get started.

Use the visual builder to add a Standard Section with a fullwidth (1 column) layout. Then add a Bar Counters Module to the row.

Update the Bar Counters Settings as follows:

Content Options

Use Percentages: ON
Background Color: #dddddd
Bar Background Color: #e07a5e

Design Options

Text Color: Dark
Title font: default
Title Font Size: 20px
Title Text Color: #405c60
Title Line Height: 2em

Percent Text color: #ffffff
Percent Line Height: 2.5em

Now go back to the Content tab and select + Add New Item to add the first bar counter to the module.

Update the Individual Module Settings as follows:

Add two more bar counters to the module and give each a Title and a Percent.
