    Hi! Wondered if there was an easy way to do this on the home page or any page in fact.

    I would like to display the most recent post on a page, with the title, featured image then the entire text of the post. At the end of the post I need some pagination to other posts.

    It also needs to be on a page with other elements, a slider for example.

    Is there a quick way to do this, if not where would I start? Would I have to create a custom template?

    Thanks! Dave.

    Hello,

    Sorry, but we don’t have such feature in our theme.
    Yes, you need create a custom template for this. The article may help you: http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-themes/create-custom-single-post-templates-for-specific-posts-or-sections-in-wordpress/
