  • if you are coder then simply fire query from database
    select * from wp_posts order by id desc limit 10.

    Thanks but I’m not a coder. ??

    From other posts, I’ve stumbled my way to a solution … solution for any others coming behind …

    1. Include this in the header of you index.php page (not the blog index.php page)

    <?php

    require(‘/path-to/wp-blog-header.php’);

    ?>

    Must be path, not URL

    2. Add this to where you want headers on index.php page.

    <?php get_archives(‘postbypost’, ‘5’); ?>

    Regards,

    Sally

    After this: <?php get_archives('postbypost', '5'); ?>

    Add this: <?php the_excerpt(); ?>

    Not only will you get just a link to your post but also a preview of it.

    Hello Dragonpearl,
    I have a page within the system,

    I want to show the last 3 blog posts like this

    <h4>Blog Post Title</h4>
    <p>Blog post text upto 20 words</p>

    How do I create this loop?

    Check here: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page#Integrating_WordPress

    See the “mini-loop” section.

    Perhaps read up on The_Loop as well, if you need more context.

    Hello all.

    I wanted to follow up on this if I could. I can pull the links to all the content in on the home page, but I would also like to pull in the first 20 words or so of each post. (I’ve tried the loop page HandySolo sent, but I seem to just get the same result).

    I am also using permalinks.

    Any ideas?
