Single Post

Renders one post: its title, featured image, content and comments.

This is a background feature. It has no place in navigation, because members reach it by tapping a post rather than by choosing it.

PluginNone. WordPress core

  1. Open the Background tab on the canvas.
  2. Drag Single Post onto it.

Only one is allowed. A second is refused with “already added”.

SettingWhat it doesDefault
CommentsWhether comments are shown, and whether members can postRead-only
AppearanceContent styling for the post bodyInherits app tokens

Comment permissions still come from WordPress. A post with comments closed on your site has them closed in the app, whatever this setting says.

The post, rendered natively rather than in a webview. Links inside the content are handled: a link to another post opens Single Post, a link to a page opens Single Page, and a link to a member opens their Profile.

That routing is why placing this feature matters beyond the posts screen — it is also what makes links inside feed posts work.

Several places, which is why one instance serves the whole app:

  • Tapping an item in Posts.
  • Tapping a linked post inside feed content.
  • Tapping a post result in Search.
  • A Remote link profile tab pointing at a post.
