Beginner- Page set-up

It’s hard to help you if it’s hard for you to explain what you need !

The site you show as an example does not use popups, nor ajax, to load the content but loads extremely fast, as it is made of text only.

If your problem is about making this kind of layout, a list of news on the left and the selected news on the right, you should probably have a look to the wp_get_archives function.

You, however, will have to set up the HTML and CSS layout manually in your news page template.

Thank you for your response. Sorry I wasnt more clear, but I’m not after the content of the news feed, rather the layout. I want to match this layout but instead of the news feed I would have a publications lists.

I want to create a text list that is individually clickable and has content embedded with it. Just like the website example.

Thanks for clarifying.

You should create or edit the “news” page template on your site then use the wp_get_archives within your template to retrieve a list of posts based on your specific criteria (category, date, …)

WordPress provides tools to retrieve a list of posts, display posts content, etc …, but you have to assemble the page on your own with the help of these functions.

If you’re new to programming and/or wordpress, you could may be find a theme achieving the result you expect and copy the corresponding block of code.
