Pulling posts to different pages

    I have a WordPress static home page, what I want to do is to display the last two posts from the blog page at the bottom of the homepage below other content.

    I have searched and looked at plugins, and used yd-recent-posts widget which does exactly what I want but this means that you have to put code into the content which can be easy deleted by mistake.

    What is the best way of doing this?

  • Could put a simple loop in your Page Template. The Pages article has some examples. Essentially it is something like:

    <?php
$args=array(
  'post_type' => 'post',
  'post_status' => 'publish',
  'posts_per_page' => 2,
  'caller_get_posts'=> 1
);
$my_query = null;
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
  while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
    <p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
    <?php
    the_content();
  endwhile;
}
wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
?>

    Thank you I will take a look at it.
