There are limitations when it comes to changing the position of the post title on the blog post page with just your theme.
The Post Title widget in The Plus Addons for Elementor lets you place, align and style the post title at any location on the Elementor blog post page.
For the full settings tour of every Blog Builder widget, see Blog Builder Settings Overview.
Requirement – This widget is a part of The Plus Addons for Elementor, make sure it’s installed & activated to enjoy all its powers.
Common Use Cases
- Blog post templates where you want to reposition the title above or below the featured image.
- News and magazine sites that need styled post titles with custom typography and hover states.
- Archive page templates displaying category or tag listings with consistent title styling.
Before You Start
- Prerequisite: Elementor (free) installed and active.
- Template builder: use the free Nexter Builder, or Elementor Pro if you already have it, to build the single-post/archive template these widgets are placed into.
- Edition: all Blog Builder widgets are free – they work with just The Plus Addons for Elementor installed, no Pro licence required.
- Widget to enable: go to The Plus Addons > Widgets, search for Post Title and turn its toggle on.
Steps
- Add the Post Title widget to the appropriate location on the blog post template.
- From the Types dropdown under the Layout tab, choose Single Page to show the title on individual post pages, or Archive Page to show it on a category/tag listing template.
- From Box Alignment, align the post title box per responsive device.
- From Text Alignment, align the post title text independently per responsive device.
Content
Under the Content tab, use Prefix Text and Postfix Text to add a label before or after the title – for example “Tutorial:” before a tutorial post title.
From the Tag dropdown, change the HTML tag of the post title. Use H1 when the post title is the only H1 on the page, or H2 when it appears inside a template that already has an H1 elsewhere.
Extra Option
Enable Link to make the post title clickable – useful on archive templates, where clicking the title should navigate to the full post. Use Limit to truncate the title by word or character count.
