Err, the tag didn’t appear to close when I first looked at it, now I see that the link has been removed.

Yeah, I noticed that and fixed it. Thanks!

How do use the code Dwoof pasted without messing up the site as it is? Just need to know where and how (if there’s a how) to paste it. Also, if I need to edit the code or use it as it is.

Thanks!

Ah! Fixed the poblem of the images linking to our site.

Anyone out there who can help me make WP display recent posts on the homepage?

Um, something is very fishy here, that website he linked to is at best I can tell a scam. His only blog post is garbled and would appear to have been create for SEO purposes. The “UN” and “EU” logos at the bottom link to some webs design company, and the site claims to have been developed with the help of the UN.

Its no scam, ok. The content for the site will be populated by the NGO handling the project (Most of whats curently on it is dummy content we placed there).

I’m the designer handling the project and I’m trying to tidy up this project.

And as for the footer images that link to our site, I’m wondering how that’s possible. I just checked dynamic contents in the WP dashboard now and there’s no hyperlink in the code used there. Our only liinkback/credit from that site is already there on the left.

@Warll,

I know WP normally should display recent posts on the homepage by default but mine isn’t (WP 2.9.2). You can see the homepage for yourself here: http://nigerianpolishinitiative-ng.org

Any tips please?

@digitalimpact,

I downloaded and installed the plugin but it came in the form of a widget for my sidebar and my sidebar already has something like that.

WHat I want is something to make my HOMEPAGE display recent posts.

Pretty new to WP and would like to know how I can get my homepage to always automatically display some of the most recent posts on my site.

you would use the wordpress loop with the query functionality:

<?php $featured = new WP_Query();
    $featured?>query('showposts=3');
    while($featured->have_posts()) : $featured->the_post();
    $wp_query->in_the_loop = true;
    $featured_ID = $post->ID;
?>

<li>
    <h4><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h4>

    <p><?php the_excerpt(); ?></p>
</li>

<?php endwhile; ?>

The 

and

tags can be anything for the title and content. And you would change the number in showposts for how many you want to display. The li’s are also for styling.

Jeez! I have to add code now?? Thought it was something I could enable from the wordpress dashboard.

Anyway, if you don’t mind, can you please tell me where to place the code – what file and anything to watch out for? I wouldn’t want to mess up the site now…

You can take a look at the site homepage here to see what I’m talking about – http://nigerianpolishinitiative-ng.org

Still working on it.

Thanks guys!

Thanks a bunch guys! You’re support and concern are unbelievable. I should come here more often!

The theme author has responded and not only so, he has the problem fixed! I’m overjoyed. It’s been a nightmarish first wordpress website experience.

I’m trying to get him to tell me what was wrong incase of next time. He also mentioned doind something like making it possible to select whether to trun timthumb on or off from inside wordpress.

Thanks to all you guys, especially dracano

Thanks!

I just checked out the source code I found here –

I searched through it with this – timthumb.php?src=&

Didn’t find anything either.

Its repaired now. Anyway, I really can’t troubleshoot further – there are so many issues that could be with your hosting, the theme, custom fields etc. Your only hope is to contact the theme author.

Whats repaired now?

I already contacted the theme author (system32) but like I mentioned, he’s not been responding to all my emails and please for over 2 days now, leaving me to face this problem by myself. It really hurts to see that the theme’s slider works perfectly in the theme preview page…

dracano, thanks anyway.

Yes, it reads like timthumb.php?src=&....
