• Hi there,

    I’m using the Shuttershot theme, and wanna add a extra item to my userdefined menu:

    My latest post should always be a link in the menu (not as the post-title, but as “Blog”)

    I have read tons of different suggestions, but none of them seems to work 🙁

    Can any one help me out here?

  • Why would you want to show just one latest blog post? Users may find it handy to see your last few posts at one go.

    One way to do is to create a page called Blog. Set this to use the Blog page template. And then change the “Blog pages show at most” value to 1 at

    /wp-admin/options-reading.php

    But this would mean that all your category and archive pages will also show only one post at a time.

    You can link to this Blog page from your menu.

    Thanks for your reply, but…

    When I link to the latest post, the reader will automaticly be presented to all the other posts. And in the menu on my frontpage, there will in this way, be as few items as possible.

    OK. One simple way is to add a custom link for your latest post from

    /wp-admin/nav-menus.php

    and label it Blog.

    Whenever you publish a new post, make sure to update this link. Sorry, I don’t know an automatic way to do this.

    Thanks, thats how its done for now, but I’d like to automate it (for the comfort, you know).

    This might be an idea for the next version 😉
