    halo, thanks for this great theme and documentation!!
    I have dived on the questions on this forum and on your website, but i think there is no thread similar to this topic.

    I would like to have my last “4” posts on the front page, but featured similar as the media boxes of the demo theme.
    I′m already using a 4 colum Media box with the 4 main topics that my little website covers through
    Customice->widget->Top 1/2/3/4 m
    I don′t know how to solve this issue.
    Is this possible or can you help me with this wish?
    Thanks a lot in advance
    My best wishes!

    Halo,
    please can anypne help me with this issue?
    sorry because, maybe my english is not very good.

    I would like to light up my last 4 post on the front page, as mediaboxes instead as the default list that this theme shows.

    Thank you very much

    To display only 4 page on blog listing page, Go to Settings -> Reading -> Blog page show at most and put the value 4 here and your blog page. And make sure you make Settings -> Reading -> Front Page displays to your latest posts.

    Halo!
    thanks a lot for the answer, and sorry again for my bad english or explanation…
    I have already done this solution you menthioned, but i would really like to have the last 4 posts on the mediaboxes, one on each of the BOTTOM 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 of the widget. So “dinamically” every time I add a new post its featured there, and elliminates the older one.
    During this time, I have downloaded a plugin called special recent post free, that its installed on the BOTTOM 1 widget, but the stethic its not so good, as it displays it on 1 collum all the posts.

    I′m already using top1/2/3/4 widgets to display 4 main topics of my website

    Is this possible?
    I′m quite new to web programming and with your theme seems evething can be done!!
    thanks a lot in advance this forum its amazing, lots of hours and knowledge

    How would I make a link for my “Details Button” at the bottom of the Media Boxes? I need the three gray buttons to have different links. thanks!

    @eldemarras – Unfortunately for that you might need code your own widget and you need to learn a bit WordPress programming for that.

    @cb[email protected] – We can already see three different links. I hope you’re able to make it.

    OK thank you very much,
    I will slowly try a solution or way to improve this.
    Do you have any possible starting point?
    thank you very much for your help.
    this support its very very good

    You might need to create a plugin according to your need. Here is a guide : https://www.wpexplorer.com/create-widget-plugin-wordpress/

    and understand a bit how to make database query from WordPress : https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Class_Reference/wpdb

    I hope it helps.

    Thanks
