Displaying Blog Post in a Page?

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hello. I would like to ask about this feature in WordPress and how to make it. First, allow me to show you a link to a website which isn’t mine, but I find interesting, and I noticed that it’s made by WordPress.

    http://www.exforsys.com/career-center/career-articles.html

    I want to know if I can transform my blog posts into the links shown below. With updated date and all. And if I can do it with web-based wordpress. If yes, what plugin do I need? (and do I need to upgrade my account?)

    Thanks.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi there,

    Based on my understanding, I see you want to display your blog posts as list of links on a page with updated date and excerpt content. You can achieve the same b adding this [display-posts] shortcode.
    [display-posts include_date="true" include_excerpt="true"]
    Add the above shortcode to the page where you wish to list all the blog posts.

    You can explore this document https://en.support.wordpress.com/display-posts-shortcode/ and add arguments to have the look you desire.

    If yes, what plugin do I need? (and do I need to upgrade my account?)

    No. you don’t need to buy an upgrade plan or install any plugin.

    Let me know if I have misinterpreted your question.

    This looks like something that I cannot use in the web-based WordPress. Do I have to bring this to a local WordPress and put the codes there?

    Aside of that, this looks like a solid answer, but I will have to test it first.

    Hi there,

    I am not sure what do you mean by web-based WordPress. Are you talking about self-hosted WordPress site?

    My solution to add [display-posts] shortcode was with respect to this site chrisxfictioncorner.wordpress.com.

    If you need help with a different site that is self-hosted then I’d suggest you to seek help on WordPress.org support forum – https://wordpress.org/support/

    Hope this helps!
