[Theme: Virtue] Blog post links on portfolio pages?

I suggest you use a plugin with shortcode capability for maximum control.

Create a file named “my-recent-posts.php” inside wp-content/plugins/ and paste the following code in it.

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: My Recent Posts
Description: Display recent posts with the [recent_posts] shortcode
*/

function display_recent_posts($attr)

{	$catID = ( isset($attr['category']) ? get_cat_ID($attr['category']) : 0 );
	$no = ( (isset($attr['number']) && intval($attr['number'])) ? $attr['number'] : 10 );
	$posts = wp_get_recent_posts( array('numberposts' => $no , 'category' => $catID ) );
	echo '<ul>';
	foreach($posts as $post)
		echo '<li><a href="' . get_permalink($post["ID"]) . '" >' . $post["post_title"].'</a> </li>';
	echo '</ul>';
}
add_shortcode('recent_posts', 'display_recent_posts');

The closing ?> tag has been deliberately omitted.

Activate this plugin from the plugins panel, edit your portfolio and use any of the following shortcodes.

[recent_posts] – Displays 10 recent posts.

[recent_posts number="3"] – Displays 3 recent posts.

[recent_posts number="2" category="Uncategorized"] – Displays 3 recent posts from the Uncategorized category.

You may use this shortcode on any post or page.
