[Help] TwnetyTen Church Theme hack – How to add posts under static page

You probably need to add a custom query to your theme’s front page template file (either index.php or front-page.php).

Thank you for the reply. I’m a newbie in php functions. ??
Can you help me to find the exact code that would do the job?

Below is an example of what exactly I want. It is edited with photoshop.

I was able to do it successfully with

<div id="content">
<div class="post">

<h3>Recent Articles</h3>

<?php $posts = get_posts( "category=X&numberposts=5" ); ?>
<?php if( $posts ) : ?>
<?php foreach( $posts as $post ) : setup_postdata( $post ); ?>
<div class="post">
<h2><a href="<?php echo get_permalink($post->ID); ?>" ><?php echo $post->post_title; ?></a></h2>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>

</div>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

</div>

this code. But whenever I go to another page, the recent news appear on other pages too. The function, is_home() is also not working. Please help me to solve the issue.

Sorry, I couldn’t mention my website earlier.
