How to have recent posts in static home page?

Hi,
Could not understand your requirement. Your site homepage is already showing three posts from August 10, 9 and 7.

hie thanks for the quick reply.

that is being shown because I have kept it to static page. when I change from setting reading – blog – latest posts. My latest posts are shown on blog page which is fine.. but I want to show all my posts on blog but maybe 1 or 2 posts on home page? how to do that without keeping it to static..

I hope you understand my question now

I’m still not sure, exactly what are you looking for:

so here are two solutions, what I can suggest:

If you want to show all your latest blogs on the home page, you can simply do it from here:
appearance > customize > front page content > Front page displays > your latest posts

Now if you want to show selected posts on the home page not the all, you can create a page and choose this optoin:

appearance > customize > front page content > Front page displays > a static page > and choose the page you want to show as a home page.

now, install a plugin “shortcode ultimate”

edit that “front page” and enter a shortcode of showing latest posts/selective posts/etc.

let me know if this helps

My blog refuses to show a static front page, could you help? I customize it with a static page, save it, but when I check the site or go to customize again it only shows my most recent posts. I have a few other websites with Hueman and never saw this problem before.
Please advise.

Hi kumaresh100 , I think I did not make my message clear.

Here is my point,
If you go to my website now “parrotwarrior.com”

I have all my posts on Blog Page, which is fine.
The Home page is Blank.

I want it to show latest 3 posts only, whichever are the last 3 posts.
Rest all my posts would be on the blog page, but only latest 3 posts to be shown on home page. I am not able to do that.

I hope now I am clear, if you can please help me.
(You can see 3 posts are shown on widget side) I want them to be shown on the main page.)

I got your point now. Yes, the solution I told you about plugin shortcode ultimate, that would suffice your need. Try that once, sorry I’m not so techy guy who can tell you about code level changes. I can help you with a solution using plugins probably ??

Let me know if shortcode ultimate turns to be your help. ??

Using the shortcode ultimate as suggested, how do you style the su_posts to match the look of the Hueman Pro theme? i.e., same image size (medium) as the Hueman Pro show on the Blog page, same font and font size for the blog article titles.

I would also like to know the above…

<style>
.su-posts-default-loop .su-post-thumbnail {
float: left;
display: block;
width: 300px;
height: 220px;
margin-right: 1em;
}
.su-posts-default-loop .su-post-thumbnail img {
max-width: 300px;
max-height: 220px;
}
.su-posts-default-loop h2.su-post-title {
clear: none;
margin: 0 0 0.3em 0;
font-size: 2.250em;
font-weight: normal;
}
</style>

<style>
.su-posts-default-loop .su-post-thumbnail {
float: left;
display: block;
width: 300px;
height: 220px;
margin-right: 1em;
}
.su-posts-default-loop .su-post-thumbnail img {
max-width: 300px;
max-height: 220px;
}
.su-posts-default-loop h2.su-post-title {
clear: none;
margin: 0 0 0.3em 0;
font-size: 2.250em;
font-weight: normal;
}
</style>

Forgive me for being thick. If I wanted to use the Hueman (free) slider. How would I do that? Where would this code go? In the standard CSS file??

These go in the Shortcodes Ultimate settings for Custom CSS code.

You then can add a shortcode to your home page similar to this:
[su_posts posts_per_page=”5″ meta_key=””]

See example at https://www.compukol.com

Ok cool. Thanks. And this will inherit the Hueman Recent posts slider?

It’s the recent post articles. Not necessarily what you put in the slider unless your slider is set to pick up your recent articles.

Ah right ok. Might not be what I’m after then.
I am after the Hueman Recent posts slider for a static home page.
