Bricks's templateConditions for single posts expects:
main: 'postType', postType: ['post'] (array of post types)
NOT the singular/object variant I'd used:
main: 'singular', object: 'post'
The wrong format triggered "Invalid post type" when opening the template
in the Bricks builder editor — Bricks's editor couldn't parse the
condition and refused to load the template.
Source : wp-content/themes/bricks/includes/admin.php line 1101 — the
switch case for 'postType' confirms the expected shape.
For 'any' (entire website, used by Header/Footer templates), no extra
keys are needed beyond main='any'. Section/single templates need this
postType array form.

Phase 12 (post-launch ready) — Insights blog scaffolding so the /insights/
menu link works and the user can start publishing.
Creates :
1. /insights/ hub page (#153) with hero + Bricks `posts` query-loop
element + closer CTA. The posts element configured with :
- query : post_type=post, posts_per_page=9, orderby=date DESC
- layout=grid, columns=3, linkPost=true, imageDisable=true
- fields : eyebrow "Insights", h3 post title, date, excerpt
- _cssCustom for card styling (subtle bg, border, padding, flex column)
2. Single Post Bricks template (#154, template_type=single, conditions=
singular post) : eyebrow + h1 {post_title} + date · author meta +
featured image + post-content + closer CTA.
3. Three seed posts publication-ready :
- the-10-to-15-gap (#155)
- simulators-for-entertainment-vs-training (#156)
- sovereign-by-default-gdpr-native (#157)
Topics aligned with the brand : training gap reality, why
entertainment-first simulators fail tactical training, GDPR-native
sovereignty for security forces.
User adds more posts via WP Admin → Posts → Add New. The Bricks Single
template handles layout automatically (matches templateConditions).
