It doesn’t work it simply repeats the first four posts from my Blog.

Thanks I’ll give it a go. There are twenty posts in total.

Hi, sorry for the long delay and many thanks for the advice. I am running my own custom built theme. Cheers. D.

Thanks for the advice.

I’m reluctant to use plugins. I think I may stick with what I’ve got. It does the job.

Thanks for that unfortunately nothing appears to work in the manner in which I want it to which is a simple clickable drop down list where the user can select individual categories.

It’s my own custom theme which I built myself. wp_nav_menu() function should do the trick all the classes that I need to hook on to are there. Many thanks.

Hi,

Many thanks, increasing the column size works perfectly!

Got it, many thanks.

Surely you jest?

The plugin allows the export of WP installations in various formats but not as a single Zip file.

I’ve spoken to a few developers who have said as I do, the fact that you cannot export WP sites as a single Zip file is baffling.

I’m bored now.

Good bye.

Because some of us use Local to develop WP websites which allows simple importation of existing websites via a Zip file.

Excellent! That works! Thank you ??

Hi there,

Yes I have four posts under a category called ‘Test’ but it’s only displaying one post inside aforementioned category.

Not sure I understand what you mean by going outside of the loop?

Thanks for the help but it does not work. Passed code over to a dev I know he couldn’t get it to display either. Seems the only way to do it is to use a plugin.

It’s not displaying any of the content bar the word ‘post’.

<?php

get_header('topbar'); ?>
	
<div class="blog_container">
		<h2 class="blog-title">
		Latest News
		</h2>
	<p>
		News information and much more.
	</p>
</div>

<?php

$posts_query = new WP_Query( $query_args );

if ( $first_post ) { ?>   			
					<h2 class="blog_heading">
						<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
                    </h2>
<?php } else { ?>
    <div class="post">Post</div>
<?php {

    $first_post = false;
  } 

}

wp_reset_postdata();

?>	

		
<?php 
?>
<?php get_footer();

?>

Great, that works, sorry about that, screen blindness kicked in! Couldn’t see for looking.

Any idea what the hooks are for displaying latest post and subsequent posts?
