    Hi, I’ve been trying to do this for a while now and I searched everywhere but I couldn’t make it work.

    I want to show the last post with permalink to previous entry inside a Page.

    I tried and I got it to showing the last entry only but I had to use PHP Shortcode plugin to execute php inside a page so here is the code sofar:
    [php]
    get_header();
    query_posts(‘posts_per_page=1’);
    [/php]

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Perhaps this is what you looking for?

    Tnx for your reply. 🙂

    That might work on an index. On a page it won’t show anything.

    Nobody else knows?

    You could create a custom page template and incorporate get_posts().

    I wrote what I exactly wanted:
    <?php
    get_header();
    query_posts(‘posts_per_page=1’);
    ?>
    <?php
    global $post;
    $myposts = get_posts(‘numberposts=1&offset=1&category=-3’);
    foreach($myposts as $post) :
    setup_postdata($post);
    ?>
    “><?php the_title(); ?>
    <?php endforeach; ?>

    But the problem is even I wrote to show the last post first, it shows the previous link first! You would think WordPress will executes lines top to bottom.

    If your code snippet isn’t inside backticks, it’s not readable…

    I gave up. I pasted the code below into the top navigation menu. So it will show the premalink to the last blog post entry!
    <?php
    global $post;
    $myposts = get_posts(‘numberposts=1&category=-3’);
    foreach($myposts as $post) :
    setup_postdata($post);
    ?>

    Not sure if this will help.
    Check out this link http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts

    The code has to be inside the wordpress loop.
