Custom Single Post Layouts with WordPress Gutenberg

[@kelly_browning]

Hi Jamie! Thank you for this video! I have the latest version of WP and Gutenberg and I can't find the "Post Excerpt, Post Featured Image, Post Author", etc. blocks anywhere! How can you dynamically link the "Featured Image" or "Title" block that's currently in Wordpress? Do you have a video that includes how to do that?

Your KZbin channel is massively underrated. I learned a ton of stuff I did not know. Thank you!

[@jamiewp]

Thanks Kosta 😀

I installed and activated Gutenberg and all 3 themes suggested, and no matter which theme I use I don't see a Site Editor option on the left. What do I do?

Hi Jamie, Figuring my way around wordpress. Just to understand how all this works. I looked at the layout of the default Single Post layout to understand the hierarchy of the different blocks. I am good there. But when I try to add a new post, all I see is a blank page with "Title" and "Type / to choose block? under that being displayed. Why isn't the template being shown so I can click on each template and change the content as per my needs? Single Post template is selected by default as displayed on the right hand side. Is this not how wordpress works or am I missing something? thanks,

[@jamiewp]

Hi, the template sets the overall design of your post - this might be worth a watch to fully understand how all this works x.com/pootlepress/status/1810996316677304758

Hi Jamie, thanks for sharing that cool video! I'm a beginner with WP and I'm having trouble centering the post title while I'm still drafting the post. I'm using Elementor with the Astra theme, but I prefer Gutenberg as my editor. The thing is, every time I start a new post in Gutenberg, the title defaults to left alignment and I really want it centered. I've scoured the internet and tried everything I can find, including playing around with some additional CSS, but nothing seems to work. Do you have any suggestions on how to make the post title centered while I'm still drafting it. Thanks!😅😊

Excellent video! Your enthusiasm is infectious. I've wondered, asked, and been blown off so long about non-admin users in FSE. You just answered it! Thank you so so much!

[@jamiewp]

thanks Kristin, that's great to hear :)

[@ViktorChuprin]

I have a problem with it. I've made a template that i wantm it has paragraph (album release date) and buttons (streaming platforms) besides post content, but i can't edit it without editing template. I just don't see my layout in post editor without going into template editing. Please help, i'm so confused :)

[@KandasRodarte]

Your tutorials are awesome. I'd like to create a custom post type where a KZbin video is the "featured image" - is that possible?

[@jamiewp]

I think there’s 2 approaches 1) find a plugin that lets you use a video as your featured image and then test whether it works with the query loop block 2) just put your video in the post content and then using the query loop block , just show the post tittle and post content in the loop

[@KandasRodarte]

@@jamiewp thank you!! I'll try both of those options. Loving your content.

[@jenniferward6821]

ok I installed the Gutenberg plugin and it immediately asked me to disable it because is a production site ?? - I already have the kadence theme so I don't think its a good idea to camel that and put in a new theme - what I want to do is so simple in elementor - just make a custom template for my posts without using php or a plugin?? Not possible?? Trying out your Caxton plugin - Editor block outline immediately crashes page - do you think it is Kadence?? thanks for all the tuts though :}

[@jamiewp]

Hi Jennifer - i think that message is being generated by the kadence theme - will check this end. You shouldn't need to install the Gutenberg plugin as its part of Wordpress

[@visualmodo]

Very good work!

[@jamiewp]

Thanks a lot!

[@WineGiftBoxMaker]

Jamie, I am looking for a good FORM builder (better than google forms) - what is looking good for the FSE themes, or Kadense themes? I build personalized products (laser engraved) and need input from clients for the 6 sides of a wooden gift box (wine)

[@jamiewp]

Hi Scott - Ninja forms or Gravity Forms are both great - but it depends somewhat whether they need to be integrated into WooCommerce

[@MVARTZ]

This might be a silly question, I just don't know😳 Can I combine this with a pagebuilder like elementor free? Say I want the page builder for my home page and some other stuff and the FSE for my single post layout, is that possible? Thumbs up for the content anyway👍

[@jamiewp]

Yes you can :) (not a silly question:)

[@MVARTZ]

​@@jamiewp That's awesome! Thank you😁

[@bradfranklin-j66co]

Interesting!! Thanks for sharing

[@simonhorner5119]

Brilliant so helpful-thank you

[@willchu]

The Gutenberg plugin is a waste of time, and so is this video. The moment you download this plugin and activate it. You get a warning message immediately that this plugin is NOT ready for production sites.

[@jamiewp]

That message is NOT coming from Gutenberg, it's coming from either your theme or another plugin.
