How To Use The Avada Related Posts Element

The Avada Related Posts Element is a dedicated Post and Portfolio Element, designed to display related posts anywhere within any WordPress single post or Portfolio post. When you add this Element to a Single Post Content Layout Section, the Element dialog opens in a new tab called “Layout Elements”. This is where you will find the Related Posts Element.

It can be placed anywhere in your post and displays a specified number of posts or portfolio items, based on the options selected in the Element, on pages that meet the conditions set in the Layout. There are several options available for controlling layout and design within the Element. Refer to the options panels below for more information, and check out an example of this in action on the Avada Marketing Consultant website.
