Answer 1

There are two ways to do:

1. In your WordPress dashboard, go to Appearance » Widgets and add the ‘Recent Posts’ widget to your sidebar. https://prnt.sc/1rhjdc4

2. Using wp query

$args = array(
    'post_type'      => 'product',
    'posts_per_page' => 10,
);
$loop = new WP_Query($args);
while ( $loop->have_posts() ) {
    $loop->the_post();
    ?>
    <div class="entry-content">
        <?php the_title(); ?>
        <?php the_content(); ?>
    </div>
    <?php
}
Copy

wp_get_recent_posts( array $args = array(), string $output = ARRAY_A ) Please read this article https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_get_recent_posts/

<?php
$recent_posts = wp_get_recent_posts();
foreach( $recent_posts as $recent ) {
    printf( '<li><a href="%1$s">%2$s</a></li>',
        esc_url( get_permalink( $recent['ID'] ) ),
        apply_filters( 'the_title', $recent['post_title'], $recent['ID'] )
    );
}
