<?php
$args = array(
'posts_per_page' => '3',
'post_status' => 'publish',
);
$recent_posts = wp_get_recent_posts( $args );
// Loop each post
foreach( $recent_posts as $recent ) {
echo get_the_title($recent["ID"]);
echo $recent["post_content"];
}
wp_reset_query();
?>
Refer the WP_Query class reference for a complete list of arguments.
Another Approach
<?php
$my_query = new WP_Query( array(
'posts_per_page' => 3,
'post_status' => 'publish',
'paged' => get_query_var('paged', 1),
));
while ( $my_query->have_posts() ) : $my_query->the_post();
post_class();
the_title();
the_permalink();
the_excerpt();
endwhile;
wp_reset_query();
?>
