How do I make a "recent posts page" as a custom page or interaction page?

I am not a developer but doing research. 

 

How do I get "recent posts page" here so I can use as overview page ? :) 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thank you

    Marianne80  You created a custom CategoryPage.recent which is similar to the category page.  So you were able to add that component on that page tab in the studio. But to use this CategoryPage.recent, you have to map this page to any category. But it can not be mapped to any other page.  Until you would not map it, it would be assumed a custom stand-alone page on which that component(post-list) can not be used.

    First of all, you have to create their respective custom pages to get the option for mapping on this page(Custom Pages). Refer screenshot. 

    https://prnt.sc/h1vq0y
    Forum --> ForumPage.PageName

    Blog --> BlogPage.PageName

    Category --> CategoryPage.PageName etc. 

    Seems  Recent Post page can not be mapped to a custom page.

    Marianne80 Can you let us know bit more what you are trying to do actually.

    It would not be possible if you trying to map the recent post page to a custom page same as you mapped your category page as shown in the screenshot you shared.  But you can create a custom stand-alone page without mapping.

    Yes, thank you for your super help! 

     

    Shame about "post-list" is limitied in pages since it a great element to have on overview pages. 

     

    Thank you again
