Do you want to customize the post title in the WordPress blog post? The default WordPress block editor places the post title in a fixed location, which limits your control over where and how it appears on the page.
With the Post Title block from Nexter Blocks, you can place and style the post title at any location in your blog post template on the WordPress blog post page.
To check the complete feature overview documentation of the Nexter Blocks Blog Builder, click here.
Best Used For:
- Blog post templates where you want the title positioned above a featured image or author bio section
- Magazine or news layouts that require the title to use a specific HTML tag for SEO hierarchy
- Archive and category pages that display post titles with a consistent prefix label, such as a series name or category tag
Requirement – This block is a part of Nexter Blocks. Make sure it is installed and activated.
Required Setup
- Make sure the default WordPress Block editor is active.
- You need to have the Nexter Blocks plugin installed and activated.
- Make sure the Post Title block is activated. To verify this, go to Nexter → Blocks and search for Post Title and activate.
How to Activate the Post Title Block?
Go to
- Nexter → Blocks
- Search the block name and turn on the toggle then click Save Settings.
Add Post Title
Add the Post Title block to the appropriate location on the blog post template.
To create the blog post template, you can use the free Nexter Builder.
From the Types section under the Post Title tab, you have to select the template type. Here you will find two options:
- Single Page — Use this to show the post title on a single post template, such as an individual article or blog post page.
- Archive Page — Use this to show the post title on an archive page template, such as a category or tag listing page.
Here, select the Single Page option.
Then, you can add a prefix and postfix text to the title from the Prefix Text and Postfix Text fields. This is useful when you want to prepend a label like “Review:” or append a year to every post title automatically.
From the Title Tag section, you can change the HTML tag of the post title. Use this to set the correct heading level for SEO, such as H1 on single post pages and H2 or H3 on archive templates.
You can also change the post title alignment to match your template layout.
From the Extra Options tab, you can make the post title linkable by enabling the Link toggle. This is helpful on archive pages where each title should link back to the full post.
Then, from the Text Limit section, you can limit the post title by the number of letters or words. Use this on listing or card layouts where long titles would break the design.
To display additional post information alongside the title, see How to Add Post Meta in WordPress Blog Post?
You can customize the post title style from the Style tab.
You can add a post title to the archive template using the same process above, selecting Archive Page from the Types section instead.
The Advanced tab options are shared across all Nexter Blocks. You can review every available setting in the dedicated tutorial.
