Custom homepage with recent blog posts

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi,

    I have a self-hosted site on wordpress.com
    I am currently trying to create a home page where there the home page contains latest blog posts as well as sliders, image galleries etc.

    I don’t want the latest blog posts to be on the side bar, I want it to be as it would be if I had selected “latest posts”.
    I have set my home page to a static page with all the things I want like the sliders etc. but I cannot figure out how to put my latest posts on my home page.

    Can anyone help?

    Thank you!

  • Hi there,

    Can you please let me know your site’s address so I can point you in the right direction of getting support?

    Hi!

    Sorry- I wasn’t aware!

    In case you’re so kind to check it out, it is batteredbycake.com
    I have played around and added the content view plugin and it is closer to what I want but still not quite there yet. I would like to change the font size/style, positioning of title etc. but I am unable to do this. Ideally, would like blog posts to be in a vertical format rather than a grid or the most recent post as a main post then the previous posts in a grid format such as https://demo.wpzoom.com/?theme=foodica

    Thanks!

  • Howdy –

    batteredbycake.com is using a stand alone WordPress installation rather than our service at WordPress.com. The set up in these two versions of WordPress is quite different. Take a look at this page for more details:

    WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

    Help with the WordPress installation comes from the community forums at wordpress.org/support/
