4 Text Shadow Effects for Divi Post Title and Text Modules

by | Aug 23, 2016 | 38 comments

In this post I am going to share with you some CSS snippets for applying interesting text shadow effects to Divi Post Title and Text modules. I came across these effects here on codepen.io and I really liked them and decided to implement for Divi.

Very simple implementation, check out how they look like below and feel free to use the CSS for your projects.

Simply copy and paste the CSS provided below into your child theme’s style.css file or into Divi -> Theme Options -> Custom CSS and then add any of these CSS classes(depending on which shadow effect you want to apply) to the Post Title module or Text module Advanced tab->CSS Class field: elegantshadow, deepshadow, insetshadow and retroshadow.

The CSS will add shadow effects to h1 tag of Post Title module and h1 and p tags of Text module but you can change the selectors so that it works for other heading levels, links, etc.

Elegant Shadow

h1: ELEGANT SHADOW

p: ELEGANT SHADOW

Deep Shadow

h1: DEEP SHADOW

p: DEEP SHADOW

Inset Shadow

h1: INSET SHADOW

p: INSET SHADOW

Retro Shadow

h1: RETRO SHADOW

p: RETRO SHADOW
