Simple Custom Loop on Home Page.

  • I’ve created a home page that I want to use, And I have a custom loop running on the home page here:

    https://web.prioritiesbydesign.com/admin-assist/

    Everything is working fine except a few things.
    1) I want to allow to title of the posts to be <h4>
    2) I want the title to be a hyperlink to the article
    3) if possible to enable a mouseover.

    The code I have is:

    add_action(‘pagelines_inside_top_theloop’,’custom_loop’);

    function custom_loop(){

    if(is_front_page()):

    $myquery = new WP_Query(‘showposts=5’);

    while ($myquery->have_posts()) : $myquery->the_post();

    the_title();

    the_excerpt();

    endwhile;

    endif;

    }

    I’ve tried a few different things I’ve found on WP site on custom loops but I’m not enough of a programmer to know what’s working and what’s not.

    Thanks!

  • example:

    function custom_loop(){
if(is_front_page()):
$myquery = new WP_Query('showposts=5');
while ($myquery->have_posts()) : $myquery->the_post();
echo '<h4><a href="'; the_permalink(); echo '">'; the_title(); echo '</a></h4>';
the_excerpt();
endwhile;
endif;
}

    mouseover might be possible with css :hover styles.
