Static Page with last 3 articels from all categories
 

Hallo,

I have a problem which is important for me to solve and hope someone can help.

I have a Blog running, where I want to change my start page.

At the moment it is showing my last Artikels.

for some reasons I have to change it to a static page - easy so far.
But I need the last 3 articles from all categories listed under the text like in my attached pic.

Can anybody explain dummy proved how to do that?

Thanks in advance

In the meantime I found a solution myself.

In the index.php I have added right after

<?php get_header(); ?>

This php.code

<?php if ( is_home() AND !is_paged() ) { ?>
<div

End of Code

This works for me - I am now havin the Text I wanted only on my Startpage which is set in WordPress to my postings as Startpage.


Now there is only 2 problems I have to solve.

First Problem:

I want to have only the last 2 postings showed on my Startpage - perfect would be to show these 2 postings side by side, but is would be nice to have solved - see posting #4

but

10 Postings when I klick the Next Navigation to (multipage-view) still searching for a solution in php and without plugin

2. Problem:

I want to integrate a BLOG-Link in my menue on the left side. This link is now problem in general with http://www.frank-hamm-webdesign.de/homepage

Unfortunately the opened view is not styled the way I would like to have. I would prefer the Layout from my postings on the startside (means inculsive Picture)

So how can I realize this?


Because I am a Wordpress Newbee it maybe that this problems are easy to solve and my qiuestions are stupid, but please can anybody help?

This would be easy if you could settle for using the Page2Cat plugin which allows to display XX posts from category YY on a given page, i.e. the homepage. It might be even able to display posts from multiple cats, not sure. If not, you could give all posts where you want to pull posts from an additional category and exclude that category from the category menu bar (if you're using it)

Part 1. of my wishlist is done by inserting the red line

<h4><span style="color: #a0dd0b;">Die neusten Artikel in unserem Blog:</span></h4>
<?php query_posts('showposts=2'); ?>
<h4><span style="color: #a0dd0b;">Die neusten Artikel in unserem Blog:</span></h4>
<?php query_posts('showposts=2'); ?>
</div>


Part 2. is still under investigation. I have found some php solutions, which if am testing at the moment.

Still searching for a solution to show the 2 postings on my startpage (startpage is artikel view) side by side instead of one under the other.

Nobody able to help, please ?
