When using Ecwid shortcodes inside the Divi 5 Builder, some WordPress sites may encounter a memory timeout or fatal memory exhaustion error. This typically happens because Divi’s visual builder aggressively parses and renders shortcodes in real time, while Ecwid shortcodes load dynamic store data and scripts. The combination can trigger recursive rendering or excessive memory usage during page load or editor preview, especially on shared or limited hosting environments. As a result, the page may fail to load in the builder, or the site may throw a memory-related error.
The most reliable fix is to avoid using Ecwid shortcodes inside the Divi Builder for that specific page. Instead, create or edit the page using the Gutenberg (Block) Editor and place the Ecwid shortcode there. Gutenberg handles shortcodes more conservatively and does not attempt the same level of live rendering as Divi, preventing the memory spike. This approach allows you to continue using Divi across the site while safely integrating Ecwid on selected pages without performance or stability issues.
