<ul> <?php global $post; $args = array( 'numberposts' => 5, 'offset'=> 1, 'category' => 1 ); $myposts = get_posts( $args ); foreach( $myposts as $post ) : setup_postdata($post); ?> <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li> <?php endforeach; ?> </ul>
All post data:
<?php $args = array( 'numberposts' => 3 ); $lastposts = get_posts( $args ); foreach($lastposts as $post) : setup_postdata($post); ?> <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2> <?php the_content(); ?> <?php endforeach; ?>
