jenny20k 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2011 Hi I'd like to have summaries of my latest posts on my home page and a "features" page which will have summaries of all the posts in the whole archive. I can't work out how to get two blog pages (aside from using categories). Anyone know? Thanks you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmunns 16 Report post Posted April 12, 2011 If you need to show more than one category on a particular page we can use the query_posts function along with ah ook to target a particular page. Have you used a hook yet/before? Here is a sample of the function itself. http://www.pagelines.com/forum/topic/6615 A hook sample can be seen in the -Base functions.php file.

jenny20k 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2011 I'm not sure that's what I need - I basically want - the home page to be set as a posts summary page - but still be editable as a page. - I want all categories of post to show in the homepage but in summaries for the most recent 5 posts. The features page - - I'd like to be the same but for all posts ever published. Do I still want to use a hook? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
timlinson 3 Report post Posted April 13, 2011 If I understand correctly, you could manually set "Front Page" and "Posts Page" in Settings > Reading. You would set the "Posts Page" to be the "features page" you described. For the page that you set as "Front Page," you could use some `postfeed` shortcodes in its content, where offset = position from the most recent post (all posts, all categories): `[postfeed field="post_title" offset="0"]` `[postfeed field="post_content" offset="0"]` That's a built-in shortcode, but if you want more flexibility (or something else entirely), I think you'll have to go a plugin or hooks.
