Post Info (Single Blog Post)

The Post Info widget allows you to display essential metadata about a blog post such as author, publication date, time, and comment count. This widget is typically used at the top of a single blog post to provide readers with quick contextual information.

How to Add the "Post Info" Widget

1. Open the Single Blog Post template in Elementor.
2. From the widget panel, search for Post Info.
3. Drag and drop it into the desired section of your post layout.

Best Practices

• Use a consistent date format across your site for readability.
• Ensure icons are styled to match your website's theme for a polished look.
• Avoid showing redundant metadata (e.g., don't display the date twice).

Notes & Limitations

• The widget automatically pulls post data; no manual content entry is required.
• Visibility of metadata depends on the information provided for each post (e.g., author name must be set).
