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 post content module’s design elements, which will design the post content that is displayed dynamically.

About the Divi Conference Blog 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 Module(s) – displays the most recent posts that share the same category.
  • 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 Divi Conference 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 icon module that acts as a back to blog button on top of the comments module.
