[Support request] How Show Blog Posts on Static Homepage

[Alessandro]

I have my static home-page named Home, i have posts page named blog. How to show blog posts in my static homepage without using plugin?

Hi there,

Any reasons why you don’t want to use a plugin? Tom built a plugin specifically for that feature: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-show-posts/

If not then you will have to ask a custom solution on a site like: https://stackoverflow.com/

Or have someone create a custom solution for you, which would basically be the same as using WP Show Posts.

Hi,

I would think the reason not to use a plugin would be to minimize site load time. The plugin that you recommend requires jquery.

I thought the whole point of using GeneratePress is that it does not have any dependencies.

Code is code – it doesn’t matter if it’s added using a plugin or custom function, it’s still code.

I thought the whole point of using GeneratePress is that it does not have any dependencies.

The main focus of GP is to only include features that are useful to the majority of our users so we can keep the theme/plugin light and fast.

Things like displaying posts on a static page would best be handled by a plugin like WP Show Posts.

If not you will need to find a custom solution.
