Show the entire latest post, followed by excerpts of older posts

  • I am using the front-page.php method to build my website’s static front page. I’d really like to have the latest post show in it’s entirety under a section header, and then have summeries of the previously posted posts below under a different section.

    Can anyone help me out in figuring out how to do this?

  • You’ll want to dig into the documentation on the wp-query function and the WordPress loop. Or try a plugin like Custom Content Shortcode to use shortcodes to build out your custom queries.

    Just came across this thread, and I wanted to say, it is possible with Custom Content Shortcode. To display the latest post in its entirety:

    [loop type="post" count="1"][content][/loop]

    To display excerpts from 4 posts after that:

    [loop type="post" offset="1" count="4"][content field="excerpt"][/loop]
