    Hi there,
    normaly i use the integrated MH Custom Posts [lite] widget to get the recnet posts on my static homepage but it’s the lite edition and so i only have the titles and pictures and not some text from the post with read more option.

    I know there are much plugins out on wp who can do this but all i saw have the same problem. They didn’t show the author on the hompeage for each linked post.

    All i want is that i get a homepage like the standard homepage (with recent posts, not a static one) with the MH Slider widget on it.
    For this i must make the static one to import the slider widget only for the homepage but how can i get the normal recent posts back?

    I want the same looking like the normal homepage for the recent posts, including pagination and more.

    Any ideas how i do this?

    I have a child theme…

    Hi Felln,

    thanks for using MH Magazine lite.

    What you have in mind isn’t possible out of the box and this requires custom development. You could create your own custom page template and then add the widget area (for the slider widget) and a custom loop with pagination. Here you can read more about how to create custom page templates in WordPress: Page Templates.

    Or you could customize the archive templates and add a slider there, either as widget area as well, or by hard-coding a slider that does display featured posts or a slider as part of the regular loop.

    But as mentioned, this requires coding and you should have at least solid HTML/CSS/PHP skills for this. If you’re not familiar with coding, you could hire a developer who can do this for you.

    Thx for the fast answer. The archive templates are saved in a theme or in wordpress itself?
    When in the theme, which file is it?

    Archives are handled by index.php and loop.php (will be replaced in the next version of the theme).

    Does they get an own php in next version?

    Not sure what you mean with “own php” – however, the file loop.php will very likely be renamed in the next version as we plan to do some refactoring.
