How to display a single complete post on i.e. the startpage

Hey Herbert,

Did you use the Layout Builder to create your post? In that case you need to add the excerpt manually to it, if you can’t see the excerpt field then please select to display it under Screen Options in the top right hand corner of the screen when editing your post.

Hi,
Thank you for the video and the links, first I will point out that if your “post” was on another page then you could use the “page content” element to show it on another page, as you describe.
But since you wish to get the content of a “post” we don’t have a built-in element for this, but we do have this function that you can add to your functions.php that will create a shortcode that will display the content of a post on another page as you describe.
Try adding this code to the end of your functions.php file in Appearance > Editor:

function get_post_shortcode( $atts ) {
    $attributes = shortcode_atts(
        array(
            'id' => null
        ), $atts );
    $content = do_shortcode(get_post_field('post_content', $attributes['id']));
    return $content;
    
  }
  add_shortcode( 'get-post', 'get_post_shortcode' );

then on your page add a “code block element” where you want the post to show and add this shortcode:

[get-post id="1258"]

note that the number “1258” is the post that you linked to and if you ever want to show a different post just change this number to the post ID of it.
here is a screenshot of the backend with the code block element:
