If you set a static page as your front page, it can be a little tricky figuring out how to link to a page that shows your latest posts. So far I have come across two solutions you can use with your WordPress blog when linking to such a page.

Solution One

Create a link in your sidebar or somewhere on your site that looks like this: http://www.yourdomain.com/?p=all You should replace the http://www.yourdomain.com/ with the location of your blog.

Solution Two

You need to create a new page template by copying an existing one. In your new page template, find this line:

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

Then replace that line with this code:

<?php $my_query = new WP_Query('showposts=10');

while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();

$do_not_duplicate = $post->ID; ?>

The code you just added creates a loop and retrieves the latest 10 posts and will display them on a page you create with your new template.

If you know of another solution to accomplish this task, please share it with my readers and me by commenting below.
