    I am building a website with a mostly static homepage and a full display of posts in a different page. However I’d like to display 4-5 posts from the loop on the homepage in a much more minimalistic manner than on the archive page.

    While I have found some alternatives, I’m struggling to find anything that will bring in the full content.php-file. How can I do this? If I simply call the loop from within the page editor it says “No posts” an endless amount of times on the page.

    Have you reviewed multiple Loops?

    Got it working somewhat now, however that broke my shortcode.

    This is what I have in the editor now:

    [slider id='14' name='noob']
<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'secondary' ) ?>
<div class="clear"></div>
<?php $my_query = new WP_Query('&posts_per_page=5');
  while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
    <?php get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() ); ?>
  <?php endwhile; ?>

    I am using Exec-PHP plugin to use PHP in editor. Any idea why the slider plugin doesn’t work anymore? Link to site

    Solved through calling shortcode in PHP.
