Post Dynamic Tags

The Post (DA) group covers built-in WordPress post data — the fields available on every post, page, and custom post type without any extra plugin. All nine tags pull from whichever post is “current” — the real post on the frontend, or your chosen Preview Post while designing in the editor.

Post Title

Outputs the post’s title. No settings.

Post Featured Image

Outputs the post’s featured image.

• Image Size: Choose a registered image size (no custom-dimension option).
• Fallback: An image to use if the post has no featured image set.

Post Excerpt

Outputs the post’s manually-written excerpt field. Unlike a “smart” excerpt, this only shows what’s typed into the Excerpt field — if it’s empty, the tag outputs nothing (it does not auto-generate one from the content).

Post Date

Outputs the post’s publish or last-modified date.

• Type: Post Published or Post Modified.
• Format: Default (site format), a few common presets, or Custom.
• Custom Format: A PHP date format string, shown only when Format is Custom (links to WordPress’ date-format documentation).

Post Time

Same idea as Post Date, but for time.

• Type: Post Published or Post Modified.
• Format: Default, g:i a, g:i A, H:i, or Custom.
• Custom Format: A PHP time format string, shown only when Format is Custom.

Post Term

Outputs the terms assigned to the post from a chosen taxonomy.

• Key: Which taxonomy to pull from (built from the current post type’s registered taxonomies).
• Separator: Text/character used between multiple terms.
• Link: Toggle on to render each term as a clickable link to its archive; off renders plain text.

Post URL

Outputs the post’s permalink. No settings.

Post Custom Field

Outputs the raw value of any post meta field.

• Key: Dropdown of the post’s existing custom field keys (internal/underscore-prefixed keys are hidden).
• Custom Key: Free-text field for typing a meta key directly — shown only when Key is left unset.

Note: This reads meta as plain text — useful for simple values. It doesn’t format arrays or serialized data.

Post Image Attachments

Outputs all image attachments uploaded/attached to the post (not just the featured image) — useful for a gallery widget bound to whatever images are attached to that post. Returns nothing if the post has no attached images.
