Reply To: Show Latest Post on Static Home Page

I have no idea why it’s not working. I’ve always just added the widget and set how many posts I wanted to show, and they would show. I’ve never had an issue with it myself.

Can’t think of what it could be. Do you have any other plugins active that could possibly be interfering with it? Try disabling each one to see if thats the case. Or check any custom code that you may have added to your theme.
