Summary: What Verba adds to the post editor: the subtitle, TL;DR, key points, read also, sources, header style, and how to mark a post as sponsored correctly.
Availability: Pro only.

Posts carry the largest set of local fields. This page names what is on the editing screen and points to the article for each feature; the features themselves are described in the single post section.

## Two places in the editor

**Editorial**, the wide panel under the text, is where you fill things in. **Appearance**, the narrow panel at the side, is where you change how this particular post looks.

No field is required. An empty field means the element does not appear, not that something is misconfigured. Elements switch themselves on by being filled in.

<div data-callout="warning">

There are two gates, and both have to be open. A block enabled globally in [[Verba > Theme Options > Single Post]] renders nothing on a post with no data for it. And a filled field shows nothing if the block is switched off globally. When something does not appear, check both.

</div>

## What you fill in

:::deflist

Subtitle
: A short second line under the title. It also works in listings, when it is chosen as the source for the short summary instead of the excerpt. See Blog: how posts are presented.

Summary (TL;DR)
: The short recap at the top of an article. See TL;DR.

Key points
: The bullet takeaways. See Key points.

Read also
: In-article pointers to related material. See Related posts and read also.

Sources and citations
: Entries listing where the information came from. See Sources and citations.

Header style
: In the side panel, with a "same as the site" value at the top. See Post header styles.

Post format media
: These fields appear only once you have chosen a post format. See Post formats.

## Sponsored posts

This is the one thing on this page described in full here, because it has no page of its own.

:::steps

### Mark the post

Turn on **mark as sponsored** in the Editorial panel. The remaining fields appear.

### Name the sponsor

Fill in **sponsor name**. This is the minimum for a correct disclosure, because the default wording is built from it.

### Add the optional details

**Sponsor URL** links the disclosure. **Sponsor logo** appears both in the disclosure block and on the post card in listings. **Disclosure text** replaces the default wording; leave it blank and the post says "Sponsored by" followed by the name.

:::

Paid material is labeled because in many countries that is a legal requirement rather than a courtesy. How the block looks and where it sits is set globally in [[Verba > Theme Options > Single Post]], so every sponsored post on your site is labeled the same way.

<div data-callout="note">

Do not confuse this with ad banners. A banner carries somebody else's creative; this marks your own material as paid for. See Ad banners.

## Questions

<details><summary>I filled in the TL;DR and it does not show</summary>

The TL;DR block is off in the global single post settings. Turn it on there and the post data appears.

</details>

<details><summary>Does the subtitle show everywhere?</summary>

On the post, yes, if the header style includes it. In listings, only when you have set the short summary source to the subtitle.

</details>

<details><summary>What if I mark a post sponsored without naming a sponsor?</summary>

The default disclosure has no name to use, which makes for a weak label. Fill the name in; it takes a second and it is the part that matters legally.
