 * Hello!
 * My first post here, I’ve been searching a lot today looking for a solution to
   my problem. Hope we can work this out! 😉
 * I’m developing a new WP site using Divi (as usual) and I want to change the way
   divi shows the information in the “Blog” (4 most recent posts) module.
 * I’ve managed to do a lot, but now I need to modify this core file:
 * wp-content/themes/Divi/includes/builder/main-modules.php
 * In here Divi creates the <article> list and I want to change the information 
   shown in each <article>. For example:
 * – The featured image is shown as a <img> inside a link. I need this to be shown
   as a background-image of the <article> element.
 * I already tried a lot but I can make WP ‘read’ my “custom-main-modules.php” located
   in the child-theme.
 * Is there any way we can modify the .php in the /includes folder?
 * Thanks a lot for your support!

 * Bump for having the same issue.
 * We need to put the pagination below the blog headline. It can easily be done 
   with the parent ‘main-modules.php’ file, but it won’t get recognized as a file
   from the child-theme.

 * I just found this post and shortly after, found this article from ElegantTweaks:
 * [http://www.eleganttweaks.com/divi/change-replace-modules/](http://www.eleganttweaks.com/divi/change-replace-modules/)
 * I haven’t fully reviewed it, but it looks promising in solving our dilemmas. 
   Good luck!
 * Best,
