Whew! Using a standard template, I needed to download a php execution plugin. After that, I can enter in PHP code directly in the admin page editor. Putting in the following code yields the results shown here (static information shown both below and above recent post content) [http://lostmodernist.com/wordpress/?page_id=4](http://lostmodernist.com/wordpress/?page_id=4) * > This is the test home static information! Above! > query_posts(‘posts_per_page=5’); > while (have_posts()): the_post(); mystique_post(); > endwhile; wp_reset_query(); ?> > Below!! * vtxyzzy, your code helped me understand what needed to be injected into the post. The only thing I was missing earlier, when my page was displaying multiple posts of the same thing, was the wp_reset_query(); command. All is well. I hope this can help out someone else in the future! * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Recent posts, static page, themed?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/recent-posts-static-page-themed/) * Thread Starter [macatticus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macatticus/) * (@macatticus) * [15 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/recent-posts-static-page-themed/#post-1679305) * [http://lostmodernist.com/wordpress/?page_id=6](http://lostmodernist.com/wordpress/?page_id=6) Test Home 2 Displays this frontpage.php script.

I’ll try chinmoy’s idea but I’m pretty sure it will just display text, with no themes.. I.e. Title 1 Short excerpt blah blah title 2 short excerpt blah blah * With no theme (header being in a box, large font, author name in italics, etc). * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Recent posts, static page, themed?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/recent-posts-static-page-themed/) * Thread Starter [macatticus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macatticus/) * (@macatticus) * [15 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/recent-posts-static-page-themed/#post-1679278) * The website was taken offline so we can get all the backend stuff done before launch. It was the Mystique theme. I would just like to be able to either: 1. Insert code into the post page to be able to specify php/html code, i.e. display static information above the normal recent posts page or 2. Insert code onto a static page that displays mystique themed recent posts with excepts, author, title. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Recent posts, static page, themed?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/recent-posts-static-page-themed/) * Thread Starter [macatticus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macatticus/) * (@macatticus) * [15 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/recent-posts-static-page-themed/#post-1679264) * Can no one answer this?

After looking into contemplate, I think it may be backwards from what I want. I’m needing a way to insert dynamic areas (recent posts) onto a static page. For instance: I need to create a homepage file in mystique so I can put content at the top (video link, site announcement, etc) but be able to have an area below it that displays recent posts. So my page is part static, part dynamic.
