How and Where use the Post Meta Block

The Post Meta block is designed exclusively for Single pages and requires a Block Theme for functionality. In this regard, we offer the Axvart Theme, which is compatible with the Post Meta block.

Lets explore the Post Meta block.

Go to your WP dashboard > Appearance > Add New Theme > Add the Theme > Install and Activate the Theme. If you want then you also can read the doc of how to install and activate the Axvart Theme from here.

After installing and activating the block theme, just go to Appearance > Editor > All Templates > set the default Single Post Template and edit the template to your working demand by using Zoloblocks Single blocks like Post Title, Post Featured image, Post Meta, Post Content, Post Comments Form etc. Here we show how to add and customize the Post Meta Block.
