There are a few ways to show blog posts on your WordPress site. You can use the Posts widget on the front-end, add a custom post type, or use the Posts menu item on the admin panel.
The easiest way to show blog posts is to use the Posts widget. To add a Posts widget to your site, go to Appearance > Widgets and drag and drop the Posts widget into your sidebar.
You can also add a Posts widget to any page by entering the following code into your theme’s functions.php file:.
add_action( ‘init’, ‘my_theme_init’); function my_theme_init() { register_sidebar( ‘posts’, array( ‘name’ => __(‘Posts Widget’), ‘id’ => ‘posts’, )); }
Once you have added the Posts widget, you can display individual blog posts by clicking on its title in the sidebar. Alternatively, you can click on the Posts menu item on the admin panel and select Show Post from the list of options.
If you want to use a custom post type for your blog posts, you will first need to create a post type in WordPress. To do this, go to WP Admin > Settings > General > Post Types and click on Add New. Enter a name for your post type (for example, Blog Post) and then click on Add. Next, you will need to add a taxonomy for your post type.
To do this, go to WP Admin > Settings > General > Taxonomies and click on Add New. Enter a name for your taxonomy (for example, Blog Categories) and then click on Add. Finally, select Blog Post from the list of post types that appear in the list of available taxonomies and click on Save changes.
Now that you have created your post type and taxonomy, all you need to do is add some fields to your posts. To do this, go to WP Admin >Posts>Post Content>Edit Post Content and enter the following information: Title – This is the title of your blog post
– This is the title of your blog post Description – This is a short description of your blog post
– This is a short description of your blog post Category – Select one of the categories assigned to your blog post type in WP Admin>Settings>General>Taxonomies
– Select one of the categories assigned to your blog post type in WP Admin>Settings>General>Taxonomies Tags – Enter one or more tags that describe your topic (for example, travel, photography, health)
– Enter one or more tags that describe your topic (for example, travel, photography, health) Author – This is the name of the author of your blog post
Once you have added these fields, you will need to save your changes and publish them as normal WordPress posts. You can do this by clicking on Publish at the bottom of each post’s content area or by clicking on Publish Now from within the Posts menu item on the admin panel.
If everything goes according to plan, you should now see all of your recent blog posts displayed in their own separate rows within the Posts widget in your sidebar or within the Posts menu item on the admin panel.
