Hey !
Is it possible to slightly edit a post template ?
Specifically, let’s say I want to add a custom HTML block somewhere inside the footer of Template 12, how to I go about doing that ?
Thanks !

Hi,

You can add a text widget in the footer and enter your HTML code there – https://www.screencast.com/t/EZV1H6xd9

Thanks Simon,
But I think this is for editing the footer of the whole page (class td-footer-wrapper) and I meant the footer of the post content. See screen shot: https://postimg.org/image/ig6nkl1sx/

Also, Aside from the specific case, I am more interested to find the general way to tweak and edit the template.

Thanks.

Hi,

Sorry for misunderstanding, you can find the post templates in the themes directory. For Post Template 12 you need to edit loop-single-12.php – https://www.screencast.com/t/8TBfuTsGJ and so on for other post templates. Hope this helps you.

Thanks

So if I understand correctly the only why to do this is by PHP code ?

Hi,

Depends of what you want to modify, as you can see in the loop-single-12.php this is the structure of the post template – https://www.screencast.com/t/MoywbspEUq
As a simple example i added a heading between social sharing bottom and next/prev posts https://www.screencast.com/t/y3iIHZ8uw – https://www.screencast.com/t/QA0rpK7Q
Make a backup of the file you modify just to be safe and you should consider hiring a developer/freelancer to help you if you don’t know how to go about it.

Thanks
