How to Upload The Template
Go to Divi Theme Builder
To upload the template, navigate to the Divi Theme Builder in the backend of your WordPress website.
Upload Website Template
Then, in the top right corner, you’ll see an icon with two arrows. Click on the icon.
Navigate to the import tab, upload the JSON file which you were able to download in this post, and click on ‘Import Divi Theme Builder Templates‘.
Save Divi Theme Builder Changes
Once you’ve uploaded the file, you’ll notice a new template with a new body area that has been assigned to All Posts. Save the Divi Theme Builder changes as soon as you want the template to be activated.
How to Modify The Template
Open Post Template
To modify the template’s elements, start by opening the template.
Inside the Body Layout Editor, you can edit the design on the front end using the Divi Builder just like you would with a normal Divi page.
Since this is a template that has been assigned to all posts for the site, there is a post content module that is necessary for displaying the post content. You will need to keep that module in place, but you can adjust the design elements of the post content module which will design the post content that is displayed dynamically.
About the Layout
This blog post template has a lot of dynamic elements that will work with your blog posts immediately. For example, the entire post header is made up of dynamic elements including a featured image as the background, the post title, and the post metadata (date, categories, author, and comment count). This content won’t need updating, but you can tweak the design of each of those elements if needed.
Other dynamic elements include the following:
- Related Posts Section – displays the 4 most recent posts that share the same category.
- Post Author Bio – displays the profile info (pic, name, bio) for the user/author of the post.
- Post Content Module – displays the post content added when editing the post on the backend of WordPress.
- Comments – a functional comment area for the post.
- Post Navigation – provides previous and next buttons to the post.
Here is a quick illustration that identifies the elements of the Business Consultant blog post template.
However, some elements on a post template will need your immediate attention before using it live on your own website. For this post template, you will need to update the email opt-in module.
Add Email Account to Email Optin Modules
To allow the Email Optin Module to show up in your design, you’ll need to link an email account.
