    Dear fellows,

    I am trying to display only the last post’s title and contents on a page.
    I am able to extract the appropriate post, but do not know how to display the contents.

    This is the code I am using:

    <?php
  $args = array( 'numberposts' => '1' );
  $recent_posts = wp_get_recent_posts( $args );
  foreach( $recent_posts as $recent ){
    echo '<a href="' . get_permalink($recent["ID"]) . '">' . $recent["post_title"].'</a> ';
  }
?>

    I tried using get_content(); but it does not seem to help me.

    Can anyone please help?

    Thanks

    My very next search got me a solution to post content but not the correct contents.

    I added the line echo $post->post_content;

    The complete code now reads:

    <?php
  $args = array( 'numberposts' => '1' );
  $recent_posts = wp_get_recent_posts( $args );
  foreach( $recent_posts as $recent ){
    echo '<a href="' . get_permalink($recent["ID"]) . '">' .   $recent["post_title"].'</a>';
   echo $post->post_content;
  }
?>

    Would still like to hear your comments.

    Finally I got what I wanted:

    <?php
  $args = array( 'numberposts' => '1' );
  $recent_posts = wp_get_recent_posts( $args );

  foreach( $recent_posts as $recent ){
  echo '<h3><a href="' . get_permalink($recent["ID"]) . '">' .   $recent["post_title"].'</a></h3>';
  echo $recent["post_content"];
  }
?>
