# How to Customize Post Title in Elementor Blog Post?

## 

- The Post Title widget in The Plus Addons for Elementor places, aligns, and styles the post title anywhere on an Elementor blog post page.
- The Types dropdown under the Layout tab switches the title between Single Page for individual post pages and Archive Page for category or tag listing templates.
- The Content tab adds Prefix Text or Postfix Text, changes the HTML tag with Tag, and turns on Link or Limit for clickable titles and truncated titles.

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.

## 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](https://wordpress.org/plugins/elementor/) (free) installed and active.- **Template builder:** use the free [Nexter Builder](https://wordpress.org/plugins/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.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: Why is my blog post title still stuck in the theme layout?**
A: The theme can limit where the post title sits on a blog post page, which is why the Post Title widget in The Plus Addons for Elementor exists. It lets you place, align, and style the title anywhere inside the Elementor blog post template instead of being locked to the theme’s default position. That matters most when you want the title above or below the featured image or need a different layout for single posts and archives.

**Q: What do I need before using the Post Title widget in Elementor?**
A: Elementor needs to be installed and active first, and the Post Title widget itself must be enabled under The Plus Addons > Widgets. The page also says you can build the template with free Nexter Builder or Elementor Pro, depending on what you already have. One useful detail is that all Blog Builder widgets are free with The Plus Addons for Elementor installed, so no Pro licence is required for this widget.

**Q: How do I show a different post title on single posts and archive pages?**
A: The Types setting controls that split. Single Page shows the title on individual post pages, while Archive Page is for category or tag listing templates. That distinction matters because archive templates usually need consistent title styling across many posts, while single posts often need a more editorial layout. The Plus Addons for Elementor, The Plus Addons, Plus Addons for Elementor, POSIMYTH provides this control inside the Blog Builder workflow.

**Q: What is the best HTML tag to use for a post title in Elementor?**
A: The Tag dropdown lets you change the HTML heading tag used for the post title, and H1 is best when the title is the only H1 on the page. H2 makes more sense when the title sits inside a template that already has an H1 elsewhere. That choice matters for page structure, especially when you are building templates with other heading elements already present.

**Q: How do I make a blog post title clickable in an archive template?**
A: Enable Link in the Post Title widget so the title becomes clickable and sends visitors to the full post. That is most useful on archive templates where readers scan multiple posts and expect the headline itself to act like a navigation target. The same widget also includes Limit, which can truncate long titles by word or character count so archive layouts stay cleaner.

**Q: Where can I find more settings for Blog Builder widgets?**
A: The full settings tour is covered in [Blog Builder Settings Overview](https://theplusaddons.com/docs/blog-builder-settings-overview/). That page is useful when you want context across multiple Blog Builder widgets instead of only one title widget. For related layout work, there is also [How to Add Post Next & Previous Button in Elementor Blog Post?](https://theplusaddons.com/docs/add-post-next-previous-button-in-elementor-blog-post/), which fits into the same blog template workflow.
