How to Only Show 3 Posts (PHP Coding)

  • Hello – I am using the code below. How do I modify it so that it only displays the latest three posts? Thanks for your help!!

    <?php query_posts('category_name='.get_the_title()); ?>
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
	<div>
	<h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
	<p><?php the_content(); ?></p>
	</div>
<?php endwhile; else: ?>no match<?php endif; ?>

  • why not use get_posts instead..

    <?php
$args = array( 'numberposts' => 3, 'category' => 1 ); /* change category id */
$postslist = get_posts( $args );
foreach ($postslist as $post) :  setup_postdata($post); ?>
<div>
<h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
<p><?php the_content(); ?></p>
</div>
<?php endforeach; ?>

    if using query_posts then set param 'posts_per_page=3'..
    but ensure you reset main loop by calling wp_reset_query() afterwards.

    If you only want to show three posts per page then go into SETTINGS >> READING and change “Blog pages show at most” to 3.
