What do you mean by “featured posts?” I have the Gateway theme installed but am not seeing an option to set a post as “featured.” Is this a category you’ve set up?
In general you can customize a page by creating a custom page template.
You can create a new homepage, that has featured posts like that
I’d like the same, but with the recent ones below .
I gotcha. I don’t think this theme offers this on it’s own and will take some customization.
Depending on how comfortable you are with code, you’ll want to look at template-home.php. This is the template your new home page is using. Essentially you need to duplicate the loop and pull in the template-parts/content.php template.
If you replace all the code in the template-home.php file with the below, it should be what you’re looking for. Though I’d keep a back up of the file just in case! 🙂
<?php
/**

* Template Name: Home

get_header( 'home' ); ?>
<div class="home_posts_titles">
<div class="row">
<div class="large-12 columns">
<?php if ( get_theme_mod( 'home_posts_title' ) ) {
$home_posts_title = get_theme_mod( 'home_posts_title' ); ?>
<h2><?php echo esc_attr( $home_posts_title ); ?></h2>
<?php } // end home_posts_title
if ( get_theme_mod( 'home_posts_subtitle' ) ) {
$home_posts_subtitle = get_theme_mod( 'home_posts_subtitle' ); ?>
<h3><?php echo esc_attr( $home_posts_subtitle ); ?></h3>
<?php } // end home_posts_subtitle ?>

Sorry, but can you somehow simplify it, or explain it in detail. I’m totally new on WordPress. I’d be grateful if you could help me with this one.
Thank You very much
Sorry, that wasn’t real clear. Try this:
<div class="row">
<?php
// WP_Query arguments
$args = array (
'post_type' => 'post'
);
// The Query
$query = new WP_Query( $args );
// The Loop
if ( $query->have_posts() ) {
while ( $query->have_posts() ) {
$query->the_post();
get_template_part( 'template-parts/content', '' );
}
} else {
get_template_part( 'template-parts/content', 'none' );
}
// Restore original Post Data
wp_reset_postdata();
?>
</div>
<hr>
Let me know if this is what you’re looking for and if it makes sense. 🙂
Good luck!
