I am trying to only load the 4 latest posts on my page and I have found a line of code that should work. The problem is that I don't know where to put it.
<?php query_posts('posts_per_page=20'); ?>
This is what I found when I was searching for a solution (although I don't know if this will also work for showing only the 4 newest posts. As you can see I already have 'catname=projecten' on that line and I have no idea how to combine the two.
<?php
query_posts('catname=projecten');
while (have_posts()) : the_post();?>
<div class="col-md-3">
<div class="newsfeed center">
<h1><?php echo get_the_title( $ID ); ?> </h1>
<p>
<?php the_content(); ?>
</p>
</div>
</div>
<?php endwhile;
?>
I hope someone can help me out!
I'd like to answer it, because there are few things need to be corrected. This should do it, and notes below.
<?php
query_posts('category_name=projecten&posts_per_page=4');
while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="col-md-3">
<div class="newsfeed center">
<h2><?php echo get_the_title(); ?> </h2>
<?php the_content(); ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php endwhile; wp_reset_query(); ?>
A few notes:
It's category_name, not catname.
You should not use <h1> for each title, for a better accessibility use <h2> or <h3> etc.
get_the_title( $ID ); the $ID seems not necessary to be there.
Don't wrap the_content(); with <p> it's rich content already, use <div> if you need.
Don't forget to reset the query afterwards.
