I'm learning how to use wordpress API. I'm a newbie with this framework, so I've decided to install Understrap to use the Bootstrap 4 framework and create a simple portfolio website. After googling a bit, I've started experimenting with the code, but there are many aspects of this wordpress theme that are unclear to me. I want to display some posts on a page and style how they will appear using the bootstrap classes markup. Is there any valid tutorial about or anyone can suggest to me the correct modifications I need to make to the template theme files?
I've tried to create a page named postpage.php with this code inside, but it will not be recognized from wordpress as a template model for a page. CODE:
<?php
$args = array(
'posts_per_page' => 6,
'offset' => 0,
'category' => 'portfolio',
'category_name' => '',
'orderby' => 'date',
'order' => 'DESC',
'include' => '', 'exclude' => '',
'meta_key' => '',
'meta_value' => '',
'post_type' => 'post', 'post_mime_type' => '',
'post_parent' => '',
'author' => '',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'suppress_filters' => true
);
$myposts = get_posts( $args );
foreach ( $myposts as $post ) : setup_postdata( $post ); ?>
<li>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
</li>
<?php
endforeach;
wp_reset_postdata();
?>
