Editor : Blog Post Publish Date Element Overview

Modified on Thu, 30 Nov, 2023 at 3:31 PM

This article will cover information on the Post Publish Date element. The Post Publish Date element is one of the Blog Post-type elements in the page editor. A Post Publish Date element can only be placed on a blog page. The content is dynamically updated based on your blog’s Publish Date.

This element can be found in the Elements menu by mousing over a current element on the page and clicking on the orange “Add Element” button. You can scroll through the menu to locate it, click on the Blog Post Element Group, or type “Post Publish Date” in the search field.

You can click and hold the element to drag it into position.

Post Publish Date Element Menu

Move

Clicking and holding the move icon will allow you to drag the element to a new location on the page.

Element Name

This is the name of the currently selected element. The name given will be the default name of the element. You can change the name in the CSS info of the Coding menu.

Settings

Clicking on this gear icon will open the individual settings of the element. Each element has specific settings based on its functions. Please check the Settings section below for further information.

Clone

The clone icon will duplicate the currently selected element and place it below the current element.

Coding

Custom CSS can help you extend the design of each section on your page to meet your needs both visually and functionally. As the code requires, you can add coding to one of three areas: CSS, Header, or Footer.

The CSS info for the element is on the right of the CSS window. The title of the element can be changed in the title field to allow for easier identification.

Due to the many different styles and uses of custom coding, ClickFunnels' Support Agents will not troubleshoot specific codes. Instead, you can submit a request for help in the Coding section of our Community, or reach out to the code provider for support.

Trash

Clicking on the trash icon will delete the element from the editor.
