## Single posts and post headers Product: Grafton - Blog & Magazine WordPress Theme URL: https://hub.jkdevstudio.com/docs/grafton/pages-blog-and-patterns/single-posts Updated: 2026-11-14 Summary: What a Grafton post page shows from the header to the comments, where each part comes from, and how to pick a cover, split or text-only header per post. A post page in Grafton opens with a centered header: the post's categories, the title, a short lead and a byline, then the featured image across the page. Under the text come the tags, links to the previous and next posts, related posts and the comments.

A post header with the categories in orange, a large centered title, a two-line lead, and the byline ringed: author photo and name, date and reading time — The byline sits under the lead.

## Where each part comes from :::options - **Categories**: Every category of the post, in the brand color. Each one links to its archive. - **Title**: The post title. - **Lead**: The post's excerpt, cut at 32 words. Write your own in the **Excerpt** field of the post sidebar for a lead that reads as one thought; without one, the opening of the text is used. - **Byline**: The author's photo and name, the date and the reading time, with thin lines between them. On a phone the author takes a line of their own. With Grafton Pro the photo is the one set on the author's profile; see [category pictures, author photos and Featured posts](https://hub.jkdevstudio.com/docs/grafton/topics-authors-and-featured-stories/pictures-photos-and-featured). - **Featured image**: Shown wide in a 16:9 frame with large corners. Its caption from the media library shows under it. - **Tags**: The post tags as chips, aligned with the text. - **Previous and next**: Two cards with the title of the neighboring post. - **Related posts**: Three more posts, those sharing a category with this one first, topped up with the latest when there are not enough. ::: The text column is 760px wide; wide and full-width blocks inside the post can break out of it. ## Choose another header for one post This is a Pro feature. Grafton Pro adds three post templates. Each keeps the rest of the page and changes only the header. :::deflist Post: Cover header : The featured image fills the header behind the categories, title and lead, moving in parallax. Post: Split header : The title, lead and byline beside a tall featured image. Post: Text header : A centered title with no featured image, for essays and notes. ::: :::steps ### Open the post Edit the post and open the **Post** tab of the sidebar. ### Pick the template Click the value next to **Template** and choose one of the headers. **Single Posts** is the default centered header.

The post sidebar summary with the Template row ringed, showing Single Posts — The header is chosen in the Template row.

### Save Update the post. Other posts keep their own header. ::: To change the header of every post at once, edit the **Single Posts** template in the Site Editor.
