I'm building a Wordpress theme for a client and I amde a specific "news" page which displays recents posts (no category). I've set these to a maximum of 5 posts per page and now I'd like to add the option to navigate to older posts as well. However, most solutions I found simply do not work for my situation. My PHP knowledge is limited, so it might very well be the case that I simply implement possible solutions wrong. My current php on the page in question:
<?php
$args = array(
'posts_per_page' => '5',
'paged' => $paged
);
$recent_posts = wp_get_recent_posts($args);
$text = apply_filters('the_excerpt', get_post_field('post_excerpt', $post_id));
$post_date = get_the_date('j F, Y');
foreach ($recent_posts as $recent) {
echo '<li>
<div class="nieuwsimg" style="background-image:url(' . get_the_post_thumbnail_url($recent["ID"]) . ')"></div>
<div class="nieuwstekst">
<p style="color:#fff;margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:-15px;">' . get_the_date('j F, Y', $recent["ID"]) . '</p>
<h3><a href="' . get_permalink($recent["ID"]) . '">' . $recent["post_title"] . '</a> </h3>
<p><a href="' . get_permalink($recent["ID"]) . '">' . wp_trim_words(get_post_field('post_content', $recent["ID"]), 50, '...') . '</a>
<a href="' . get_permalink($recent["ID"]) . '">Lees verder</a>
</p></div>
</li><hr> ';
}
?>
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
