The Divi Post Title Module

How to add, configure and customize the Divi post title module.

The Post Title Module displays the title of your current post, and optionally the post Featured Image and meta data in an elegant fashion. This allows you to create more unique looking posts when building your posts using the Divi Builder.

How To Add A Post Title Module To Your Page

Before you can add a post title module to your page, you will first need to jump into the Divi Builder. Once the Divi Theme has been installed on your website, you will notice a Use Divi Builder button above the post editor every time you are building a new page. Clicking this button will enable the Divi Builder, giving you access to all of the Divi Builder’s modules. Next, click the Use Visual Builder button to launch the builder in Visual Mode. You can also click the Use Visual Builder button when browsing your website on the front end if you are logged in to your WordPress Dashboard.

Once you have entered the Visual Builder, you can click the gray plus button to add a new module to your page. New modules can only be added inside of Rows. If you are starting a new page, don’t forget to add a row to your page first. We have some great tutorials about how to use Divi’s row and section elements.

Locate the post title module within the list of modules and click it to add it to your page. The module list is searchable, which means you can also type the word “post title” and then click enter to automatically find and add the post title module! Once the module has been added, you will be greeted with the module’s list of options. These options are separated into three main groups: Content, Design and Advanced.

Use Case Example: Styling a Post Title Module for a Blog Post

For this example, I’m going to show you just how easy it is to style a custom post title for a blog post.

The first thing you need to do is go to the “Edit Post” page from the WordPress dashboard. In the Divi Post Settings box at the top right, change the page layout to Full Width and hide the Post Title.

Using the Visual Builder, add Regular Section with a fullwidth (1 column) row. Then add the Post Title Module to the row.

Update the Post Title Settings as follows:

Content Options

Show Post Categories: NO
Show Comments Count: NO
Show Featured Image: YES
Featured Image Placement: Title/Meta Background Image
