Latest posts under normal page | WordPress.org

Hi,

I’m quite new to WP so apologies if this question is fundamental.

I’m working on an existing WP site which uses the Thesis theme and Tubepress plugin. I needed to create a homeage which displays a featured banner (Thesis feature), a grid of videos and a list of the latest posts on the site.

I’ve so far managed to create everything by adding a new page and inserting the tubpress code within that page, however the list of the latest posts eludes me. Can somebody point me in the right direction? I’m not even sure I’ve taken the correct approach so am happy for critical feedback. Also, if I need to modify code, that’s not a problem either.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Esmi, I’ve added some custom code to list the latest five posts as follows:
```
query_posts('posts_per_page=5');

  global $more;
  $more = 0; 

  while (have_posts()) : the_post();
    the_content('Read the full post »');
  endwhile;
```
It works great but what I’m finding is the title of the post isn’t being displayed. I tried using the_title() within h2 tags but it’s being displayed outside of the tag for some reason.

You should be able to use <h2><?php the_title();?></h2> immediately before the_content('Read the full post »');

I tried that, doesn’t work.

I figured it out by doing the_title(‘<h2>’,'</h2>’,1);
