How It Works
When you select a layout style:
The chosen layout is applied to all post pages
No per-post configuration is required
The design remains consistent across your website
Changing the layout will automatically update the appearance of all existing and future posts.
Available Layout Styles
1️⃣ Default
Standard blog layout with featured image above the content and normal content width.
Best for general blogs and news websites.
2️⃣ Full Width Image
Displays the featured image across the full width of the screen for a more immersive visual experience.
