Display Recent Posts in list format:

We know, the list format is mostly used in sidebars so if you want to display Recent Posts in a sidebar then put the following code in a template file (sidebar.php):

<?php get_archives('postbypost', '10', 'custom', '<li>', '</li>'); ?>

I have put the default no. posts at 10, if you want some less or more posts to display then change according to your requirement.

Display Recent Posts with Summary:

To give the small overview of the post to the reader, some people display Recent Posts with a title and a short description. For them I have found two ways to display Recents Posts.

The First Way:

<ul>

<?php $the_query = new WP_Query( ‘showposts=5′ ); ?>

<?php while ($the_query -> have_posts()) : $the_query -> the_post(); ?>

<li><a href=”<?php the_permalink() ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>

<li><?php the_excerpt(__(‘(more…)’)); ?></li>

<?php endwhile;?>

</ul>

If you put the above code in a template file (sidebar.php) then you have to specify a short description of the post. So, you have to rewrite the excerpt as per the word limit.

So, here is the second way to display Recent Posts in WordPress. First you have to download this Limit Post plugin and activate it. Once the plugin is activated then paste the following code in your theme files where you want to display Recent Posts.

<ul>

<?php $the_query = new WP_Query( ‘showposts=5′ ); ?>

<?php while ($the_query -> have_posts()) : $the_query -> the_post(); ?>

<li><a href=”<?php the_permalink() ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>

<li><?php the_content_limit(250); ?></li>

<?php endwhile;?>

</ul>

Here I have put the description limit as 250 you can change according to your blog.

Display Recents Posts with Full Content:

If you want to display Recent Posts with Full Content then place the following code in your theme files:

<ul>

<?php $the_query = new WP_Query( ‘showposts=5′ ); ?>

<?php while ($the_query -> have_posts()) : $the_query -> the_post(); ?>

<li><a href=”<?php the_permalink() ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>

<li><?php the_content(__(‘(more…)’)); ?></li>

<?php endwhile;?>

</ul>

Here also you can change the no. of posts.

I hope now you can Display Recent Posts in WordPress blog easily. If you face any difficulty in placing code then connect with via the comments section below.
