Introduction

Displaying a dynamic book title as the primary heading is crucial for creating professional, SEO-optimised book pages. In this lesson, you’ll learn how to add a Post Title element to your Single Book Template in Breakdance. This element automatically pulls the book’s title from the WordPress post, ensuring each page displays the correct title in a consistent H1 format. With this setup, you’ll enhance both user experience and search engine visibility for your author website.

Add Book Title Heading

  • Click in to the BOOK DETAILS COLUMN
  • Add a new POST TITLE ELEMENT

The post title element is essentially a heading element preconfigured to use a TEXT DYNAMIC DATA TYPE connected to the post title. When we apply it we’ll see the Adventure Danger book title right away.

  • Click on TAG
  • And set to H1

That’s all we need to do. 

The POST TITLE ELEMENT is handling all the dynamic data mapping and we configured all the Heading Design and sizes in the branding module.

Summary

This lesson demonstrated how to add a dynamic book title to your Single Book Template using Breakdance’s Post Title element. By linking the H1 heading to the book post title, you ensure a consistent, SEO-friendly design that updates automatically for each book. This simple but essential step enhances your website’s professionalism and improves its visibility in search engines.
