So this is my first time creating a WordPress website. Since i wanted to learn WordPress web designing i thought why not start by building my own blog website. I have no previous WordPress or coding knowledge at all. All I'm doing is by reading what other people suggest and watch tutorials. I started with a bootstrap blank theme and Elementor Page builder.
1st image is where I'm right now . What i want is the hero post slider as u can see in the 2nd image . I can't figure out how to build the latest post list like the one in second picture But i don't know how to do that, since i don't know how to tell the block that you have to look for 5-10 latest posts, and show their data . I also can't figure out how to put the picture in on left of the title and other stuff.
I'm still learning and this is all i could figure out in last 2 days . i will appreciate if anyone can guide me , how to make the slider and how can i tell the templates i make , exactly what to show.
