Vasty supports 6 custom post formats. These are Standard, Audio, Gallery, Link, Quote, and Video Post Format.
You can simply choose the post format you need and follow the detailed instructions in the appeared metabox below the editor.
Furthermore, you can set up the classic options (layout, sidebar, disable various post elements, etc), just like in page options, under the ‘Post Options’ section. Let’s see these available options below.
Post Options
Here you can set everything you need apart from the content of the posts (you can use Elementor or any editor for this). So, you will find the following, organized into tabs, sections:
Header/Main Menu
Header overlapping: Select if you wish or not to overlap your page header. The option inherit means that you will get what you set globally under Theme Options > Blog Options > Single Post Settings for your blog posts.
Header Skin: With this option, you can select the color of your header among Default, Dark, or Light. The option inherit means that you will get what you set globally under Theme Options > Blog Options > Single Post Settings for your blog posts. In case you use Slider in the Feature Section, select the header style per slide/image.
Main Navigation Menu: Here, you can select an alternative main navigation menu. You can choose among any of the available menus or inherit the global one (Menu > Theme Locations > Header Menu).
Second Navigation Menu: Here, you can select an alternative second navigation menu in case you are using a Header mode with 2 menu locations (under Theme Options > Basic Options > Theme & Header).
