The Single Post Template Builder in BlogNews allows the design of fully customized post layouts using Elementor.
Instead of relying on the theme’s default single post layout, it provides the freedom to create a unique design that highlights post content, featured images, author info, related posts, ads, and any Elementor widgets.
This ensures a consistent and engaging reading experience across all articles.
