Create a Single Post template

Last Update: April 21, 2024

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 your entire site or create different templates for different areas of your site.

These single post templates are site parts and can be found by navigating to Templates>Theme Builder from the WordPress dashboard and selecting Single Post. Here you have quick access to add, edit, or delete any single post template.

Note: A single post template is meant to apply a design to the post using dynamic information and not by adding content directly to the template.

If no Single Post Templates have been created yet, you need to create one. Click Add New in the upper right corner of the Single Post Site Part screen.

Once you’ve created at least one Single Post Template, you will be able to manage them here.

  1. Click the Edit Conditions link in the bottom left corner of the Single Post Template you wish to edit. This will directly open the Display Conditions editor for that Single Post Template.

A Green Dot indicates a live Single Post Template, while a Gray Dot indicates a draft Single Post Template. 

Note: The Instances label in the lower left corner of the Single Post Template displays the specific instances in which this template is being used on the site.
