The WordPress Twenty Seventeen theme does not show recent posts on the Posts menu click. So…
I made a custom Posts menu link with a custom .php file. See code below:
<?php /** * Loads the WordPress environment and template. * * @package WordPress */ if ( ! isset( $wp_did_header ) ) { $wp_did_header = true; // Load the WordPress library. require_once __DIR__ . '/wp-load.php'; } // Get the most recent post date $date = new DateTime( get_lastpostdate( 'server', 'post') ); // Redirect to the page using format of the most recent post date header( "Location: " . get_site_url() . "/" . $date->format( "Y" ) . "/" . $date->format( "m" ) . "/" ); die; ?>
