Hello salient team and public support forum.

I was wondering is it possible to pull just say the most recent blog post from a category to show in a section of the salient theme.

I know it's possible to embed a blog into any row or column but this isn't what I'm looking for.

Lets say I had a category music and another category movies.

I'd like to be able to pull the most recent blog post from the category movies and have it in a column in one row.

Is that possible?

Hi Tahir

I've been playing around with that but it seems to show all the blog posts from that category. I was interested in say creating a 2 column layout with the latest post from each section inside each of the columns in the row.

As it is right now I'm getting a max of four latest post. How can I have it just pull the latest post, if at all possible?

Thanks,

Owen

Hi Tahir

Thanks a lot! I think that'll be all for now.

Best,

hello,

i have a good workaround for this. simply create a new category and select it for your latest post - that way you can select this category and it will show just the one item. then in css i added this to take up the full width:

.blog-recent .col { width: 100%!important; }

but seriously salient team - there is an unacceptable lack of customisation for this short code. please improve.
