Control how individual blog posts look and what elements appear on the page. You'll find all of these options under **Appearance > Customize > Single Post**.

## Layout Style

Choose between two layout styles for your blog posts:

- **Classic** - a traditional single-column layout with the featured image at the top, followed by the post content below. Clean and familiar.
- **Split** - a two-column layout where the featured image or media sits on one side and the post content on the other. Great for a more modern, magazine-style look.

## Header Tab

The Header tab controls what appears at the top of each post:

- **Breadcrumbs** - toggle the breadcrumb navigation trail on or off (e.g., Home > Blog > Post Title)
- **Post Meta** - show or hide metadata like the publication date, author, and reading time
- **Categories** - display the post categories near the title area

## Content Tab

The Content tab controls elements within the post body:

- **Featured Image** - toggle whether the main image appears at the top of the post
- **Tags** - show or hide the tag list at the bottom of the post
- **Share Section** - enable social sharing buttons so readers can easily share your post
- **Comments** - turn the comments section on or off

## Related Posts Tab

The Related Posts section (new in v1.2) lets you display a "Read Also" section at the bottom of each post, encouraging visitors to explore more of your content.

- **Read Also** - toggle the entire related posts section on or off
- **Number of Posts** - choose how many related posts to show (between 2 and 4)
- **Source** - pick where the related posts come from:
    
    
    - **Same Category** - pulls posts from the same category as the current post. If there aren't enough posts in that category, it automatically fills the remaining spots with your latest posts.
    - **Latest** - always shows your most recent posts
    - **Random** - displays a random selection of posts for variety
- **Thumbnails** - toggle whether thumbnail images appear next to each related post

<div data-callout="tip">

The "Same Category" source option is usually the best choice - it shows readers content that's most relevant to what they're already reading.

## Navigation Tab

The Navigation tab controls how readers move between posts:

- **Previous/Next Navigation** - toggle the prev/next post links at the bottom of each post
- **Thumbnails** - show small thumbnail images alongside the prev/next links for a more visual navigation experience
- **Auto-Load Next Post** - when enabled, the next post automatically loads below the current one as the reader scrolls down, creating an infinite reading experience (like a social media feed)
