Then we need to add new module. There are two main modules that we need for a glossary term:

  • Post Title - This module is responsible for displaying the title of a glossary term.
  • Post Content - This module is responsible for displaying the description of a glossary term.

You can find these modules using the search bar. Let's first add the module Post Title.
