*To check the complete feature overview documentation of The Plus Addons for Elementor Blog Builder, [click here](https://theplusaddons.com/docs/blog-builder-settings-overview/).*

## Required Setup

#### Layout

Add the Post Title widget to the appropriate location on the blog post template. Position it above the featured image to follow a classic blog layout, or below it to lead with the visual and follow with the title.

To create the blog post template, you can use the free [Nexter Builder](https://nexterwp.com/docs/nexter-theme-builder-explained/), or you can use Elementor Pro if you are already using it.

From the **Types** dropdown under the **Layout** tab, select the template type. You have two options:

- **Single Page** - To show the post title on a single post template.

- **Archive Page** -  To show the post title on an archive page template like the category page.

Select the **Single Page** option to configure the title for individual post pages.

From the **Box Alignment** section, align the post title box for various responsive devices. Use this when you want the title centered on mobile but left-aligned on desktop.

From the **Text Alignment** section, align the post title text independently for various responsive devices.

#### Content

Under the **Content** tab, use the **Prefix Text** and **Postfix Text** fields to add a label before or after the title. This is useful when you want to add context, such as "Tutorial:" before a tutorial post title or a category label after it.

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

From the **Extra Option** tab, make the post title linkable by enabling the **Link** toggle. Use this on archive templates where clicking the post title should navigate visitors to the full post.

From the **Limit** dropdown, limit the post title by the number of letters or words. This is useful when your blog listing template has fixed-height title areas and long titles would break the layout. For more title length control in blog listing views, see [How to Limit Blog Post Title in Elementor](https://theplusaddons.com/docs/limit-blog-post-title-in-elementor/).

## How to Style the Post Title Widget?

To style the Post Title widget, go to the **Style** tab.

**Title** – From here, manage the title's padding, margin, typography, text color, background color, border, border radius, and box shadow for both normal and hover states. Use the hover state settings when you want the title to change color when a reader hovers over it in a listing template.
