# get_posts php issue

 * on this PAGE of my site ([http://greenrefurbishing.com/wordpress/blog/](http://greenrefurbishing.com/wordpress/blog/)),
   I have the php code below pasted in the HTML content editor of the PAGE in order
   to show the entire most recent post to the Blog category (category 1).
 * but for some reason, the title of the post does not appear, even though the Posted
   On date does, and so does the content.
 * how do I get the post title to appear? Please advise. Thanks!
 *     ```
       <?php
       $latestposts = get_posts('numberposts=1&category=1');
       foreach($latestposts as $post) :
          setup_postdata($post);
       ?>
       <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a><br />
       <?php twentyten_posted_on(); ?><br />
       <br />
       <?php the_content(); ?>
       <?php endforeach; ?>
       ```

 * This code should really be placed in the theme template file for the home page
   and not in the edit page area of the admin.

 * Yes, you always will place this kind of code directly in the template files. 
   The HTML content editor is only for entering post/page content.
 * You’ll need to go to Appearance > Editor and then find “index.php” (assuming 
   you want the latest post to show on the front page) for your current theme. That’s
   the file where this code should go!
