01 / Interactive demonstration
A real post title
These are the actual published outputs of the widget on a sample post whose title has quotes, an apostrophe and an ampersand: plain, as an H1 article heading, and as a linked card title.
02 / Inside WordPress
Post title controls in Elementor
Content sets whether the title links to the post, text before and after, a fallback, the HTML tag (including H1) and an optional icon. The Style tab covers typography, colour, link hover colour, alignment, background, border, radius and padding, plus icon position, size, gap and colour.
03 / Website use cases
Where to use post title
Single post templates need the post's own title as the page heading, and related-post cards need it as a link; typing titles defeats the purpose of a template. Post title shows the WordPress title of whatever post is being viewed, with its typographic quotes and safe escaping, as a heading tag of your choice or as a link to the post.
Related-post cards
Link each card's title to its post.
Page headers
Show page titles in custom header sections.

08 / Common setup problems
Troubleshoot post title
Check these settings if the published page behaves differently from the editor.
Why is nothing shown?
The post is a draft, private or password-protected. Set Text when source is empty to show something there.
Why does my H1 look like normal text?
The tag sets meaning only. Set its size and weight with Typography in the Style tab.
Why are there two titles on my page?
Your theme also prints the title. Hide the theme title or remove one of them.
Why is the title not a link?
Turn on Link to the post in the Content tab.
Post title plugin questions

Does it handle quotes and symbols?
Yes. WordPress's typographic quotes and symbols are kept and safely escaped.
Does it work on pages?
Yes. It shows the title of any public post, page or custom post type.
Is it accessible?
Yes. Choose a heading tag so screen readers announce it, and links keep a visible focus style.
Does it add JavaScript?
No. It is plain HTML and CSS.
