How can I make the Homepage display the most recent post rather than a list of posts?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
Hi there – thanks for the message.
Unfortunately that’s not something the theme was designed to do.
The way I would do this is to set a static homepage as described here:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/
Then, for the content of the homepage use the following shortcode:
[display-posts posts_per_page="1" include_content="true" wrapper="div"]
You can see the full list of parameters here:

You may need some custom css to tweak the size of the post title/ other things. You can also add a button after the shortcode that links to the archives so that readers can see the other posts on offer.
Thanks – Ben
