Post Title in PAGE

  • So. I’ve been searching and found a bunch of stuff but my PHP ain’t to strong….

    I think I know what I’m doing wrong but don’t know how to fix it…

    What I did was I created a PAGE on my wordpress site called TEST.

    I added a plug-in which allows me to add PHP to the content of the page…

    In the content I added the following:

    <?php
$args = array( 'numberposts' => 3 );
$lastposts = get_posts( $args );
foreach($lastposts as $post) : setup_postdata($post); ?>
	<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<?php endforeach; ?>

    I want it to display just the TITLES for my posts…

    Now, it does just that…but instead of displaying the proper title it displays :

    TEST
    TEST
    TEST

    For the 3 posts that it finds instead of their actual TITLE if I was to go into the post itself.

    As a side note…they are links…the 3 above, but they don’t go to the posts..just dead links.

    Help

  • are you also using one of the plugins that allow you to execute php code in a post or page?
    if so, the above should work

    Answer:

    I added a plug-in which allows me to add PHP to the content of the page…

    So, again…..it appears to be returning the %title% of the current page…TEST…but I need it to return the %title% of each individual post. I.e.

    Hey there WordPress community. I’m still having no luck and was hoping someone could help.

    Again to summarize:

    – I acquired a plug-in which allows me to use PHP code within the body of a PAGE I’d created in the admin panel.

    You can see the code above I used…My guess is that it’s not displaying what I want because the loop is happening within the PAGE and there is no post data info being built into that page. I was thinking maybe I could use some sort of SQL select statement to go and grab all my post_titles and display them that way….I dunno. I’m at a loss.

    Thanks
