    I’ve tried a few searches through the forums and such and nothing solid came up for me.

    I’m trying to get the 5 most recent posts to show up in my theme like on this website towards the bottom.

    Thanks,
    Gary

    This works for me:

    <?php query_posts('showposts=5'); ?>
 <ul>
  <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
    <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
  <?php endwhile; ?>
 </ul>

    Hi,

    I’m a complete WordPress newbie and someone has asked me if they can do what’s been solved above. Where do I put the code that Joyce gave?

    Thanks,

    Sean
