Create a Single Post template

A single post template creates a default design for your site’s new posts. This helps you maintain a consistent look and feel. You can use one template for all your posts or use different templates for different types of posts. For instance, in a cooking site, you may want to use one type of post for appetizers and another for main courses.

Single post templates are site parts and can be found by navigating to Elementor>Theme Builder.

Create a single post template

To create a Single Post template:

1. Go to WP Admin and navigate to Elementor>Theme Builder.

   

2. In the panel, click the plus sign by Single Post.
   

   

   
   The Template Library automatically opens.
   

   

3. If the Template Library contains a Single Post template you want to use, select it to open the Elementor Editor and begin the design process.

4. If you want to design the template from scratch, close the Template Library.
   The Elementor Editor opens.
   Remember, Single Post templates are used for designing your posts and so will pull dynamic information. Therefore, the panel contains widgets meant to display dynamic information. 
   For this example, our post design will contain the post’s title and featured image.

5. Drag the Post Title widget to the canvas.
   

   

6. Drag the Featured Image widget underneath the title.
   

   

7. Finally, let’s add the blog text itself by adding the Post Content widget to the canvas.
   

   

8. In the upper right, click Publish.
   

   

9. The Conditions window opens.

10. Click Add Condition.
    You need to decide when this Single Post template will be used. For details, see Set conditions for site part templates. In this case, we’ll use this template on all the site’s posts.
    

    

11. Click Save & Close.
    

    

    
    Your template is ready.
