## Advanced single post settings in Theme Options Product: Verba - Modern Blog & Magazine WordPress Theme URL: https://hub.jkdevstudio.com/docs/verba/the-single-post/single-advanced Updated: 2026-10-01 Summary: Switch the post page to the Pro layout, then set its width, frame, sidebar, breadcrumbs, floating navigation, author bio, and post navigation. Availability: Pro only. With the Pro plugin, the article page can be drawn by an advanced layout configured at [[Verba > Theme Options > Single Post]]. Nothing on that page applies until you switch it on, so a site that had the free theme keeps looking the same after Pro is installed. ## Switch to the advanced layout :::steps ### Open the source setting Go to [[Verba > Theme Options > Single Post > General]], group **Layout**. ### Choose Advanced Set **Single Post Source** to **Advanced**. The other groups and tabs on the page open up. ### Check a real post Open a published article. The settings you configured in the Customizer no longer apply to it; the ones on this page do. :::
**Native**, the default, keeps the free theme's page and its settings at [[Appearance > Customize > Verba Theme > Single Post]]. **Elementor Template** and **Block Pattern** replace the whole page with a template. See [Building a post from a block pattern](https://hub.jkdevstudio.com/docs/verba/the-single-post/single-patterns) and [Building a post with an Elementor template](https://hub.jkdevstudio.com/docs/verba/the-single-post/single-elementor).
## What each tab holds :::deflist General : The page around the article: layout, appearance, sidebar, breadcrumbs, the sponsored disclosure, [sharing](https://hub.jkdevstudio.com/docs/verba/the-single-post/single-share), injected blocks, the [reading bar](https://hub.jkdevstudio.com/docs/verba/the-single-post/reading-bar), and floating navigation. Header : The header style and everything in it. See [Post header styles](https://hub.jkdevstudio.com/docs/verba/the-single-post/header-style). Body : The blocks around the article text: summarize, sources, TL;DR, key points, table of contents, and in-article injection. See [Reading aids](https://hub.jkdevstudio.com/docs/verba/the-single-post/reading-aids). Footer : Tags, likes, comments, the author bio, post navigation, and the footer share block. Related Posts and Read Also : The two listings at the end of the article. See [Related posts and read also](https://hub.jkdevstudio.com/docs/verba/the-single-post/related-read-also). ::: The sections below cover the groups that have no page of their own. ## Layout and appearance :::options - **Content layout** (default: wide): Wide, boxed, or custom. Custom adds **Content max width**. - **Show helper UI elements** (default: on): Draft and scheduling notices and the edit shortcut, for signed-in editors. - **Load the next post automatically** (default: off): Continuous reading. See [Continuous reading](https://hub.jkdevstudio.com/docs/verba/the-single-post/continuous-reading). - **Drop cap** (default: off): Starts the first paragraph of each post with a large initial letter. - **Enable frame mode** (default: off): Separates the parts of the post with divider lines. **Outer frame** draws the lines down both edges. - **Section spacing** and **Content padding**: Space between the sections of a post, and above and below its content. - **Narrow the reading column** (default: off): Holds the text to **Reading width**. **Apply the reading width to** picks the parts that follow it (article text, post header, post footer), and **Narrow the header image too** includes the image. ::: ## Sidebar The sidebar shows whatever is in the **Single Post Sidebar** widget area at [[Appearance > Widgets]]. :::options - **Sidebar position** (default: right): Right, left, or **No sidebar**. - **Sidebar on narrow screens** (default: button): A button that slides it in, stacked under the article, or hidden. With the button, **Where the button sits**, **Button style**, and **Sidebar title** set its look. - **Sticky sidebar** (default: on) and **Sticky edge**: Keep it in view while the article scrolls, pinned to the top or the bottom. - **Pattern behind the sidebar**, **Sidebar in the layout flow**, **Sidebar width**, and **Sidebar gap**: How the column itself is drawn and sized. ::: ## Breadcrumbs and the sponsored disclosure **Show breadcrumbs** (default: on) and **Breadcrumbs placement**: in the post header, or above the whole post. The **Sponsored Disclosure** group decides where the sponsor line appears on posts marked as sponsored: above the thumbnail (the default), above the header, above the body, above the footer, or not at all. **Sponsored style** sets its surface and **Logo height** the sponsor logo. The sponsor's name, link, and logo are set on each post. See [Post fields](https://hub.jkdevstudio.com/docs/verba/theme-settings/settings-posts). ## Floating navigation **Enable floating navigation** (default: off) pins previous and next post tabs to the edges of the screen, desktop only by default. Hovering one opens a preview card. The rest of the group sets the card: its width, the thumbnail, the format badge, the category, how the title is trimmed, the author and date, and the animation. ## Footer blocks :::deflist Tags : **Show tags**, and **Limit tags** with a count and a **Show all** link. Author Bio : **Author bio** (default: on) shows a card about the author under the article: avatar, name, position, social profiles, the description, the categories they write about most, a link to their archive, and co-authors. Each part has its own switch. The profile itself is filled in on the user. See [Author profile fields](https://hub.jkdevstudio.com/docs/verba/theme-settings/settings-users). Post Navigation : Links to the previous and next post. **Navigation scope** follows publish order, or stays inside a category or tag. **Wrap around** links the newest post forward to the oldest, and the rest of the group sets the cards. ::: Likes and comments are covered in [Likes, views, and comment voting](https://hub.jkdevstudio.com/docs/verba/the-single-post/engagement) and [Comments](https://hub.jkdevstudio.com/docs/verba/the-single-post/comments).
I changed a Customizer setting and the post didn't change With **Single Post Source** set to **Advanced**, the Customizer's single post settings no longer apply. Make the change here instead.
Every group on the page is greyed out **Single Post Source** is set to **Native**, **Elementor Template**, or **Block Pattern**. Only **Advanced** opens them.
Where is the review scorecard? On the **Body** tab, in **Review Scorecard**, which appears only while the Reviews integration is active. See [Reviews integration](https://hub.jkdevstudio.com/knowledge-base/integration/reviews-integration).
