This tutorial will show you how to create a recent posts list page in WordPress. In other words you’ll learn how to create a page that will display recent posts title in a list format. <\/p>\r\n

Before you start this tutorial please make sure you learned how to add pages<\/a> and create page templates in WordPress. <\/p>\r\n

1. Access your theme directory (wp-content\/themes\/theme###)<\/p>\r\n

2. Create new page, create new page template and assign it to the page. <\/p>\r\n

3. Open the created page template file<\/p>\r\n

4. To display a posts list we’ll use the WordPress core tag wp_get_archives<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n

This tag has several arguments:<\/p>\r\n

\r\n <?php $args = array(\r\n    'type'            => 'monthly',\r\n    'limit'           => ,\r\n    'format'          => 'html', \r\n    'before'          => ,\r\n    'after'           => ,\r\n    'show_post_count' => false,\r\n    'echo'            => 1 );\r\n ?>\r\n<\/pre>\r\n
You should insert the tag into your page template file and assign necessary arguments.<\/p>\r\n
The following code will make your page display 20 recent posts:<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\r\n<?php\r\n\/*\r\nTemplate Name: Recent Posts\r\n*\/\r\n?>\r\n<?php get_header(); ?>\r\n\t\t<div class=\"container\">\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"indent\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t<?php if ( have_posts() ) while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<?php wp_get_archives('type=postbypost&limit=20&format=custom');\u00a0?><\/strong>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t<?php endwhile; ?>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n<?php get_footer(); ?>\r\n\r\n<\/pre>\r\n
 <\/p>\r\n
Let’s see some other usage examples:<\/p>\r\n
Display  posts for the last 12 months<\/strong><\/p>\r\n
<?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly&limit=12');\u00a0?><\/pre>\r\n
Display posts for the last 15 days <\/strong><\/p>\r\n
<?php wp_get_archives('type=daily&limit=15');\u00a0?><\/pre>\r\n
Display 20 last posts<\/strong><\/p>\r\n
<?php wp_get_archives('type=postbypost&limit=20&format=custom');\u00a0?><\/pre>\r\n
