[Resolved] Frontpage Posts

[Eric]

I have been searching around the last couple of days with no concrete answer. I have set a static front page how I would like it setup but would like to have my recent posts show up between the sidebars. I can’t figure if I should try to customize the default “Recent Posts” page (unsure how to go about that without screwing everything up) or try to add code into a hook for my static page (unsure what code to use). So far I have been able to figure out most everything except this. Would anyone have recommendations/experience on the best way to do this with this theme? Thanks!

The site is at nsata.org/beta (still have a lot of work to do as I want to make sure I have the framework before I drag everything over from our Drupal install!) An idea of what I want to achieve is at nsata.org. Thank you!

Hi there,

Instead of setting your front page as a static page, set it to display your latest posts.

You can do that in “Settings > Reading”.

Setting it to display your latest posts will show excerpts from your blog posts between your sidebars.

Let me know if this helps or not 🙂

Thanks for the reply! I have tried that but cannot seem to get both sidebars to show up. Is that just a limitation of the theme or am I missing something?

Nevermind, I’m dumb…figured it out! Thanks again!

Glad you figured it out 🙂

For others reading, there’s 3 different sidebar layout options:

Page Sidebar Layout: For standard pages
Blog Sidebar Layout: For the blog/archives
Single Sidebar Layout: For individual blog posts
