  • How would I find a plugin similar to the one that is on this template called Breeze found at https://breeze.unispheredesign.com/.

    Basically I am interested in having the most recent post highlighted with a blurb and then have the previous 3 posts on the other side.

    Is there a plugin/widget I can add?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • I’m not sure I’ve really seen plugins/widgets that do this, since this effect is easily reproduced using a simple WP_Query.

    They just queried for 4 posts from that category and styled the first one differently from the 2nd, 3rd and 4th posts.

    Here’s an example:

    // The query arguments
$args = array('showposts' => 4);

// Creating the new query
$query = new WP_Query($args);

// The loop starts, initialize the count
while $query->have_posts()) : $query->the_post()); count++;

// If first post
if ($count == 1) {

Code for the first post

} else { // Else do this to the other 3 posts

Code for the other 3 posts

}

// End the loop
endwhile;
