Want to display individual posts and portfolio items with a custom layout in WordPress? This is Lesson 9 of the free Dynamic WordPress Course for Beginners — led by WordPress educator Tobi Salami.
In this lesson, you'll take the next step in building dynamic WordPress websites by creating Single Post Templates — a smarter way to display content for CPTs like portfolios, blog posts, or projects.

🔍 What single post templates are and why they matter
🔍 How to create a single post template with Elementor + JetThemeCore
🔍 How to add dynamic content and style the template layout
🔍 How to create meta boxes for project details
🔍 How to build a dynamic gallery with JetEngine
🔍 How to create a related projects section with a custom query
🔍 How to add author information and breadcrumbs

❓ What is a single post template in WordPress?
A single post template defines how an individual post, page, or CPT item looks on the front end. Instead of editing each post manually, you build one dynamic template that auto-populates with content — powered by JetThemeCore and JetEngine.
❓ How do I create a single template for a custom post type?
In this lesson, Tobi shows how to build a single template using JetThemeCore's Theme Builder — add dynamic fields, galleries, and related content sections — and assign it to your CPT with one condition.
❓ What is a dynamic gallery in JetEngine?
A dynamic gallery pulls images from a Gallery meta field you created in JetEngine and displays them as a grid or slider — automatically, for every post that has images attached.
