6. In the Display section, you can control which type of single content widget appears. For example, you can choose Posts Singular or any other custom post type you want to display, such as Portfolio Singular, blog posts, etc. 

For example, to use the Portfolio or Blog Posts option, you must first create a Portfolio or Blog Post custom post type in WordPress.

To create a custom post type, you may want to check out this guide. 

Post-Singular: This restricts the widget to only display standard blog posts.

Portfolio Singular: This restricts the widget to only display portfolio items (custom post type). 

Note:  In this example, the image shows the Portfolio Singular option along with Posts Singular. But, if you have not created any post types in WordPress, they will not appear here.

Once you create new post types, they will show automatically in the Display section. You can then select any of them as needed.
