To display 5 latest posts in each parent category of your WordPress blog, add the following code into the template that you want the result to appear. In our case, we added the following code into our 404<\/a> template page (404.php of current theme). Other places that you might want to display a list of posts by category are: 1) Footer, 2) WordPress Custom Archive Page<\/a>, 3) WordPress Custom Search Page<\/a>, 4) WordPress Landing Page and so on. <\/p>\n
