How to Design a Blog Post Template with Divi’s Theme Builder



A blog post template is probably the most important template you can add to a blog site. It provides a structure and design that is “magically” applied to all blog posts on the front end, while bloggers only need to worry about writing the post on the backend. This drastically saves time by streamlining the creation process to get your post out on the web quickly. And with the Divi Theme Builder, you won’t have to settle for a boring post template that looks like every other blog post on the web. You can create countless authentic designs (visually) and add different combinations of static and dynamic content throughout your template easily.

In this post, we’ll be covering everything you need to know in order to build a blog post template using the Divi Theme Builder.

We will cover a lot of content, but I think you will be surprised how easy these templates can come to life before your eyes.

  1. Simply excellent.
    I have a question regarding post templates, WordPress and DiVi. I have sen that you create the template to "All Posts" and when publishing the posts use the build-in Guttenberg editor, right? Is that the recommended workflow for creating posts, or there's another way? I am completely new working with WordPress and DiVi and I have found difficult to use them. In the beginning, I was creating the post inside DiVi and I am just realised that was a mistake that create a lot of code and design issues. Please if you can comment what is the best workflow for posting on my WordPress site and use DiVi that will be much appareciated.

  2. Hello! Your content is great, I have applied it but the Post content template is too small for my posts, is there a way to enlarge the space for the text?

  3. I am following this process. However, instead of featured image, each blog post, in a category (called AE Show), will have its own unique video for watching and audio for listening. BUT everytime I update a video with a new image poster, it changes the container in ALL posts in the AE Show Category. HELP. How do I add content in the template that is unique for each blog post?

  4. Thank you – after trawling Youtube and watching hours of content for the last three days this is the first Theme Builder tutorial that has actually worked for me. I still have a LONG way to go but this has given me faith to keep going.

  5. I have the same common problem. I've set a global body for all posts, as described in this video.
    However, whenever I edit the blog post (WP Admin > Posts > Edit with Divi) I actually edit the layout itself, not the content. The end result is that all my blog posts look the same, because I can't change the content, only the layout (template) itself.

    What am I doing wrong? Where is the correct place to change the content without changing the global template for a single blog post?

  6. Thank you! I love your teachingstyle! Not too much rambling about nonsense but enough for a non-web person to follow. I do have a question…. My image doesn´t appear in the imagebox…. Do you have to set the image size to a certain size before you upload?

  7. I followed this tutorial and it worked on my laptop but when i view the website from a mobile the "sidebar" with comments counter, category, author and date gets jammed in the post body. The same happens at the bottom with the articles navigation. Did anybody experienced the same and maybe can help. Great tutorial otherwise!

  8. I am very late to this party but am very gratefull for this easy to apply blog template tutorial. I did evrything you shown and in my theme builder everything looks perfect, however when I start to create a blog post after saving everything in the builder, I see all the frame work as build but the actual blog text part (Header 1 + body, header 2 + body image, quote etc.) does not show in the blog item. What am I doing wrong or not seeing. When I create a new blogpost I add an image and a title and then hit build with divi, it then gives me 3 options: overwrite existing, choose layout or clone exsisting page. So here I already do not know which to pick and in the mean time I already tried all three and I do not see the "post content part". Help a girl out 🙂
