Canvas Docs

Post Title

Displays the current post title inside a configurable heading tag with an optional permalink link. It is shown in the block inserter as Post Title and registered as canvas-core/post-title.

Select the block on a page and its own settings open in the sidebar, in the panels below:

The Post Title settings in the block editor sidebar

Settings

Each setting is named exactly as the block editor names it, followed by what it does and what it starts as. Where a setting carries a Shown when line, it stays hidden until that condition is met, which is the usual reason a setting looks missing from the sidebar:

Settings

  • Heading TagDefaultH2

    Heading level the title uses. H1 suits a single post page; a card in a listing normally sits a level or two below the heading above it.

    ChoicesH1H2H3H4H5H6

  • Link to PostDefaultOn

    Makes the title open the post. Turn it off on the post own page, where the title would link to the page a reader is already on.

  • AlignmentDefaultEmpty

    Which way the title lines up in the space it has.

    ChoicesDefault (start) (empty)CenterEnd

  • Heading ClassesDefaultEmpty

    Utility classes on the heading text itself. The block Advanced panel styles the container around it instead.

  • Link ClassesDefaultEmpty

    Classes on the permalink inside the heading.

    Shown when Link to Post is on

  • Wrap in .entry-titleDefaultOn

    On by default. Turn off when the composition already supplies the .entry-title container, for example a card whose category list and heading share one container.

Every Canvas block also carries the Animation, Scroll Effects and Advanced panels, which are described in Controls every Canvas block has.

Other blocks in Posts: Blog Archive Loop, Blog Loop, Blog Single Post, Post Archive Index, Post Author, Post Comments.
