How to create a Loop Post preview Template

Create a Section Elementor Template from Templates menu voice in Admin area,
or simply press on the Plus button on Template Select Control.

1. The Post Title

To render dynamically the Post Title in the Loop use the provided Dynamic Tags on a basic Heading Widget.

You can use the Dynamic Tag included in Elementor PRO called “Post Title”, or for a more custom result you can work with Token, the most flexible solution included in our plugin.

In the same way you can display other standard Post information of current Post, like Date and Terms.
