Sure, I can provide you with the code snippets for calling the latest, random, popular, and specific category posts in WordPress.
- Latest Posts:
To display the latest posts, you can use the following code:
<? php $args = array( 'post_type' => 'post', 'posts_per_page' => 5, );
$latest_posts = new WP_Query($args);
if ($latest_posts>have_posts()) :
while ($latest_posts>have_posts()) : $latest_posts>the_post();
// Display post content or title as needed
the_title();
endwhile;
endif;
?>
2. Random Posts: To display random posts, you can use the following code: ```php <? php $args = array( 'post_type' => 'post', 'orderby' => 'rand', 'posts_per_page' => 5, ); $random_posts = new WP_Query($args); if ($random_posts>have_posts()) : while ($random_posts>have_posts()) : $random_posts>the_post(); // Display post content or title as needed the_title(); endwhile; endif; ?>

Popular/Popular Posts:
Displaying popular posts typically requires a plugin or some sort of tracking mechanism to determine post popularity. You can use plugins like "Jetpack" or "Popular Posts Widget" to achieve this functionality.

Posts from a Specific Category:
To display posts from a specific category, you can use the following code:
<? php $args = array( 'post_type' => 'post', 'cat' => 42, // Replace with your category ID 'posts_per_page' => 5, );
$category_posts = new WP_Query($args);
if ($category_posts>have_posts()) :
while ($category_posts>have_posts()) : $category_posts>the_post();
// Display post content or title as needed
the_title();
endwhile;
endif;
?>
Replace forty-two with the ID of the desired category. Make sure to customize these snippets according to your specific requirements and theme structure.
