How to display posts on homepage AND a separate posts page

  • The theme customization choices allow you to choose between displaying your latest posts on the homepage OR showing them on a specified posts page. So that I can have a cohesive news section in the navigation menu, I want to do both: show the three most recent posts in a section on the homepage AND create a news landing page showing all posts.

    [CURRENT CONFIG]: I set the homepage to display posts (works as expected), but am unable to designate a separate post list page such as /news/ or /blog-posts/.

    [FORMER CONFIG]: I can also do the opposite scenario — but there is a bug. If I select a static page for the homepage and do NOT select a page, my homepage stays the same (shows posts and other Nimble Builder content). The news page — and ALL other post list pages — display the post teasers, but the top info such as breadcrumbs, title, and metadata is missing (bug).

    In summary, can I specify posts on the homepage and have a posts page that functions properly? I cannot find anything about how to achieve this in docs, snippets, forum, etc. Is it feasible? Thank you!

    Hi, WordPress doesn’t allow you to do that out of the box. The posts are displayed on the home page, or on another page of your site when you select a static page for home.
    That’s why I’m currently working on a simple post-list ( or grid ) module for the Nimble Builder allowing user to display a list of posts in any context, with basic design options like featured image, post date, etc, … ).
    I hope we can release a beta version of this module very shortly.
