Single post layouts replace the standard blog post template with a design created in Gutenberg, Elementor, or WPBakery. Create one layout for all posts or use different layouts for selected posts, categories, tags, or post formats.

1. Navigate to Dashboard -> Layouts -> Single post and click the add button.

2. Select Single post, enter the layout name, and configure its conditions.

3. Choose a predefined design or start with a blank layout, then click Create layout.

4. Build the post template and publish the layout.
