How to Preview the Template on Specific Post?

By default, in editor, the single post template will display the content of the last added blog post. This post serves as a reference and demo for showing you how your template will look like. You can change this reference post to any other post by following this steps:

Elementor

  • Go to Settings and open Preview Settings

  • In "Preview Dynamic Content as" choose the post type of your preview post and in "Select Post" search and select your desired post for preview

  • Click on "Apply & Preview" button to apply the preview settings to your loop item template

In this way you can create custom templates for posts of any post types in an easy and visual way by previewing the end result directly in the editor.
