Classic recent posts element - how to use post ID?

In the classic element Recent Posts there is a field ‘ID’. Here I want to show 1 specific recent post, and thought I could use this field for that purpose.

But when I fill in the post ID 4771, that specific post is not shown. Am I doing something wrong?

Hi There,

That’s the ID attribute of the HTML recent post element not the post ID:

Regards!

Thanks for your response. Is there another way to show one specific post on a page?

Hi There,

Another way would be to assign a special category to that post (Eg: Special) and then you can use our shortcode to show that category.

[x_recent_posts count="1" orientation="vertical" category="special"]

Hope that helps.

Thank you!

You are welcome!
