Hello,

I first wanted to say thanks so much for maintaining a great forum! I’ve been looking through past threads about how to add recent posts to the homepage and after exploring about 5 different options, I’ve decided nothing really fits what I’m looking for. I want my recent posts to display like they do on the Illdy theme (see screenshot). I tried installing the Illdy companion widgets and giving it a try on the Shapely theme (you have guessed correctly, this didn’t work) and all of the other recent post widgets I’ve tried haven’t match the style I’m after.

I’m not a coder so I have no idea how to write the CSS myself. Any ideas? My website is in maintenance mode but I’d be happy to send a guest login if you want to view it for reference.

Cheers!

Hi,

You can use this Child theme ( or copy that child theme files and merge with your child theme, if you’re using a child theme ) [https://colorlibsupport.com/t/centering-other-widgets-on-the-home-page/#post-90223](https://colorlibsupport.com/t/centering-other-widgets-on-the-home-page/#post-90223) after that use this plugin [Post Grid – WordPress plugin | WordPress.org Sardu](https://srd.wordpress.org/plugins/post-grid/) or some other “post grid” plugin and put that on the home page, it will do the trick. 🙂

Let us know,

Thanks,  
laranz.
