Single post settings in the Customizer

The free theme configures the article page at AppearanceCustomizeSingle Post. It has six tabs, one for each part of the page, from top to bottom.

#General

#Sidebar

The sidebar is on by default, but it only appears once the Single Post Sidebar widget area at AppearanceWidgets has something in it. On narrow screens it moves behind a Show sidebar button.

The tab sets its position (left or right), width, the gap to the article, and whether it stays pinned while the reader scrolls, to the top or the bottom of the screen.

#Header

Header Style has two options in the free theme. Classic puts the title above the image; Overlay puts it on top of the image, with a darkening scrim you can style and tune. Pro adds more styles, covered in Post header styles.

The rest of the tab decides what the header shows: the media, breadcrumbs, the category label (all categories or only the first), the publish date, reading time, and the author with or without an avatar. You can also set the title size and alignment and fix the image to one shape instead of its own.

Show image credits prints a credit line under the featured image or in its corner. Credit source picks the image field it reads from: caption, description, title, or alt text.

#Footer

Comments block shows or hides the whole comments area, and Collapse comments puts it behind a toggle. See Comments.

Show tags lists the post's tags. With Limit tags on, only the first few show, followed by a Show all link.

#Post Navigation

Previous and Next Posts adds two cards linking to the neighboring articles. Show them side by side or stacked, and choose what each card carries: thumbnail, direction label, title, category, date, and author.

#Related Posts

The heading, how many posts, the columns, the card type, and Relation, which decides how posts are matched: by category, by tag, by author, or a mix of the three. More in Related posts and read also.

I turned the sidebar on and it doesn't appear

The Single Post Sidebar widget area is empty. Add a block to it at AppearanceWidgets.

The overlay settings are missing

They only appear while Header Style is set to Overlay.
