    Hi,

    I have a template that displays the homepage.
    I would like to be able to display the POSTS underneath that page?!

    here is my home template: 

    <?php
/*
Template Name: Homepage
*/
?>

<?php get_header(); ?>

<section id="omc-main">	

				<?php
      $dispalyed = false;
      if (function_exists('shareit_output')) {
        $h_sticky = shareit_output();
        $home_page = get_option ('shareit_home', 0);
        if (!$displayed and $h_sticky && $home_page == 1) {
          echo $h_sticky;
          $displayed = true;
        }
      }
      ?>
	<?php get_template_part( 'loop', 'flexslider-homepage' ); ?>

	<?php 	if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); 	?>

		<?php the_content(); ?>		

	<?php endwhile; endif; ?>	

	<br class="clear" />

</section><!-- /main -->

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

    add a secondary loop, possibly before </section><!-- /main -->;

    example:

    <?php $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;

  $args = array(
	'posts_per_page' => 10,
	'paged' => $paged
  );

  $list_of_posts = new WP_Query( $args ); 

  while ( $list_of_posts->have_posts() ): $list_of_posts->the_post();

    // Display content of posts
    //use the respective code from index.php of your theme

  endwhile; wp_reset_postdata();
?>

    you might need to add more specific query args, and/or add html tags to structure the output;

    my mistake – quite a few typing errors ;-(

    – this should be: 'posts_per_page' => 10,
    – and this should be: wp_reset_postdata();

    corrected in total in my original reply.
