Wordpress posts on a page???

blackhatdamo · May 4, 2013

Hi everyone I could do with a little help please.

I would like to do this http://www.creativdesigns.com/blog/

I want post snippets on a page that link to the full post that has its own page. How would I do this in wordpress?

I have tried setting a static homepage in the settings>reading section, but doing this messes up the website so this isn't an option for me.

I have also searched google for countless hours without any success

I have tried:

Code:

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();?>


	<?php the_content(); ?>


	<?php endwhile; endif; ?>

and

Code:

<?php if(have_posts()): ?><?php while(have_posts()): the_post(); ?> >
			<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
				<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
				<div class="entry">
					<?php the_excerpt(); ?>

both of these show what I have written on the blog page but dont show my posts at all

the code in my blog.php file is

Code:

<?php
/*
Template Name: blog
*/
?>


<?php get_header(); ?>


<div class="row">
				<div class="large-12 columns pad">


			
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();?>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<?php the_post(); ?>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>






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

any help would be greatly appreciated as I am coming close to cracking now.

Thanks in advance

also if this is the wrong forum please can a mod move to the correct one ThankYou

As no one has replied i have a solution that works for the most part. So i'll post just in case others are having the same issue or something.

in blog.php I have :

Code:

<ul>


<?php
        $args = array( 'numberposts' => '10' );
    $recent_posts = wp_get_recent_posts( $args );
    foreach( $recent_posts as $recent ){
        echo '<li><a href="' . get_permalink($recent["ID"]) . '" title="Look '.$recent["post_title"].'"  >' .   $recent["post_title"].'</a> <br />' .$recent["post_excerpt"].' <br /></li> <br /> ';


    }
?>


</ul>

and in single.php I have:

Code:

<?php get_header(); ?>


<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();?>


	<?php the_content(); ?>


	<?php endwhile; endif; ?>


<?php get_footer(); ?>

Hope this can help somebody else out
