Hello @alanpiggott1,

Thanks for asking.

You can use Classic recent post element to display recent post on home page. I have created a screencast to help you get started.

Thanks.

Hey! Thanks a million that helped. When I add a recent post will it just continue to add the same recent post or will it add, lets say the last ten posts? Also, does the element automatically update when a new post is submitted? Thanks

Hi there,

It will automatically update the post it will display depending on the posts added in Wordpress Admin > Posts.

Please note the recent post element will display up to 4 posts. You could display more than that by adding another Recent Post element and to make sure that the posts it displays will not repeat, please make use of the offset option.

For example, the first recent post element’s offset can be left blank and it will display 4 recent posts. Add another recent post element and set the offset to 4 and it will display another 4 posts but will skip the previous 4 posts that are displayed in the first element.

Hope this helps.
