Page Header - Recent Post

Hi there,

This plugin might help: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-show-posts/

Let me know :)

There are plugins for doing exactly that.
You can also use hooks add-on and try something like this, you'll have to modify it to suit your needs but it shouldn't be too difficult.

Or better, use the new Wp show posts plugin that Tom created just for this type of stuff

https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-show-posts/

This is helpful!

Is there anyway then to hide that first post underneath where the normal posts begin?

Best,
Sofe

Not very easily - probably a better idea to exclude the post in one of the plugins above.

If you really wanted to try, something like this might do it:

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'custom_filter_posts' );
function custom_filter_posts( $query ) {
    $query->set( 'offset', '1' );
    return $query;
}
