Make A Post

🧱 Part 1: Access the Site Editor

1. Log in to your WordPress Dashboard.

2. Go to Appearance → Editor (this opens the Site Editor).

   • Twenty Twenty-Five is a block theme, so you’ll use the Site Editor to create templates visually.

🧩 Part 2: Create a New Template for Blog Posts

1. In the Site Editor, click the Templates icon (stacked layers on the left sidebar).

2. Click “Add New” → “Single”.

3. Choose “Post” (this tells WordPress this template is for blog posts).

4. Give it a name, e.g. Single Post Template.

✏️ Part 3: Build Your Layout

You’ll now see a blank page — this is where you design your reusable blog layout.

1. Add a Header block (or reuse your site’s existing header template part).

2. Add a Post Title block.

3. Add a Post Meta block (for author, date, categories, etc.).

4. Add a Featured Image block.

5. Add a Post Content block — this is where your actual blog text will appear.

6. Add a Separator, Comments, or Related Posts block as needed.

7. Add a Footer block (or reuse your global footer).

💡 Tip: You can group sections in “Group” blocks or use “Columns” for layouts (e.g., sidebar + content).

🎨 Part 4: Style the Template

1. Use the block settings panel (right sidebar) to set:

   • Font sizes and colors

   • Spacing (margins, padding)

   • Background colors or borders

2. You can also adjust global styles under Styles → Typography/Colors if you want the same look across all posts.

💾 Part 5: Save and Assign

1. Click Save (top right).

2. If prompted, confirm to save your new template.

3. Go back to Templates → Single → Posts and confirm your template is active.

   • You can also assign it to specific post categories or authors using Template Conditions (if available in your setup).

🧰 Optional: Turn It into a “Reusable Template Part” or “Pattern”

If you want a reusable layout starter for future posts (not a global template):

1. Create a new post under Posts → Add New.

2. Add your ideal layout — title, image, intro text, etc.

3. Select all blocks → click the three dots → “Create Pattern” → “Reusable”.

4. Give it a name like “Blog Post Layout Template.”

5. Next time, insert it by typing / and searching for your saved pattern.
