In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to create and design a custom Single Post Template in Elementor Pro from scratch. We’ll build the layout step-by-step by adding the Post Title, Featured Image, Post Content, and a Recent Posts section. I’ll also show you how to add custom category breadcrumbs (Parent / Child) If you'd like the PHP code used for the breadcrumbs, you can find it here: https://manzari.com/wordpress-tutorials/how-to-show-category-hierarchy-in-wordpress-posts/ In this tutorial I use Recent Posts, but if you'd prefer to display Related Posts instead, you can watch my related posts tutorial here: https://youtu.be/sMTqX4ikH7I I also use my preconfigured global colors and fonts throughout the tutorial. If you'd like to learn how to set those up first, you can watch this video: https://youtu.be/SWXZv4JEoDI This tutorial walks through building the template and refining the design, including spacing adjustments, responsive tablet/mobile layouts, and finishing touches.
