WordPress 10 – Working with Dynamic Content

August 7, 2023

Dynamic content allows you to display data that changes based on various factors, such as the post being viewed, the author, date, and more. Here’s how you can use dynamic content in Elementor

Access the Elementor Editor

Log in to your WordPress dashboard.
Go to “Pages” → “Add New” or choose an existing page to edit.
Click the “Edit with Elementor” button.

Adding Dynamic Content

Drag and drop a widget onto the canvas.
In the widget’s settings panel, look for options with a dynamic content icon (usually a small puzzle piece).

Selecting Dynamic Data

Click the dynamic content icon to open a dropdown list of available dynamic data sources.
Choose the data you want to display, such as post title, author, date, category, etc.

Dynamic Content Tags

Dynamic content is inserted using tags, such as {{Post Title}}, {{Post Author}}, {{Post Date}}, etc.
These tags will be replaced with actual data when the page is viewed.

Customizing Dynamic Content

You can combine dynamic content tags with regular text and HTML to create a cohesive design.
Apply styles, fonts, colors, and other design elements as needed.

Dynamic Templates for Blog Posts

To create dynamic templates for blog posts, edit the single post template using Elementor.
Add dynamic content widgets to display post details like title, content, author, date, and more.

Dynamic Archive Pages

To create dynamic templates for archive pages (e.g., category, tag, date-based archives), use Elementor’s Theme Builder.
Design the archive page layout and include dynamic content widgets.

Conditional Display

Use dynamic content to conditionally display elements based on certain criteria.
For example, show a call-to-action only on posts from a specific category.

Dynamic Global Widgets

Elementor Pro offers Dynamic Global Widgets that allow you to create dynamic elements and reuse them across multiple pages.

Dynamic content enhances the user experience by providing relevant and up-to-date information. By using dynamic content in your designs, you can create more engaging and personalized web pages.
