adding a catagory of blogposts to my homepage

  • Hi there,
    i have developed the basics of my own WordPress theme using tutorials from the internet and so far so good.
    One thing I want to do is on my homepage (homepage-template.php) I want to add a content area just before the footer which displays 4 or 5 blog posts from specific categories. (my categories are ‘latest updates’, ‘new releases’ and ‘webimars’ which looks similar to how this template has done it: https://demo2.designerthemes.com/reporter/ ( Scroll down and look at the ‘ENTERTAINMENT’ blog feed with the title, images description ect.

    How would I go about doing this? Would it just be the case of adding some lines of code within my homepage-template.php and styling it via CSS?

    Any help or examples to get me started would be very good,
    THANKS!!

  • What theme are you using? Where did you download it from?

    its a bespoke theme i am developing myself

    Create a footer where you can insert text links and then you can place anything you want there. The theme that you cited above is from a theme vendor and they may have their own theme functions to accomplish that.
