I’m trying to build (my first) single page template for blog posts. The template is set for ‘Single’ and the condition is Post Type (post).
When I drop the Post Content element in I get this in the left column:
and in the Canvas I get “No Wordpress added content found”
There are 25 posts published (this is an old website being updated).
I’d appreciate any help!
Cheers
What happens when you visit the post? Does it display at all? Does it have any formatting/elements from your post template?
Are they definitely ‘native posts’ and not a custom post type?
In the template settings, under CONDITIONS you have POPULATE CONTENT. Are you able to find a post in there? If so it should preview it.
If it’s still not working…
For giggles, can you go to the template (or any bricks page) and add a POSTS element - and set the query to POSTS - does it pull the posts?
Let us know how you get on.
Thanks for your suggestions! I’m sure that some of this is a lack of understanding on my part.
When I go to the posts, the single post template is used to display in the front end and displays as expected. It’s just the builder that the problems occur - and that means I can’t style the text in the post.
Under Template Settings, Conditions I have Post Type, Post Type, Posts selected and under Populate, if I select Single Post/Page only pages (not posts) are in the lower dropdown. If I select any (e.g. Archive (recent posts) of the Archive options, clicking Populate, then the builder reloads with the same ‘No Wordpresss content’ message.
I’m not sure ion this is connected, but the blog archive displays in the format in the template, but not the styling. This looked like a cache issue, but there is no caching on the site yet.

I find it hard to follow your creative use of brackets and syntax, probably my tired brain.
If they are posts - just boring regular wordpress posts… your template conditions should look like this:
And you should be able to populate content like this:
Posts don’t always show, sometimes just pages… you may have to search fro the title of a post… or just type ‘post’ and a post should appear. You can then preview.
Thanks for that. I’ll have another go.
