got it working myself 🙂
if anyone’s interested:
– (better) get a child theme first, it’s working without… but you wont do any damage like that, so better set up a child first
– get a copy of this code https://pastebin.com/JjkBHR42 and save it as pagewithnews.php into your child theme’s directory.
this will furtheron act as your template to display static content AND news on your front page.
it’s configured to display the last 10 posts, but you can of course change this.
– create a simple page (insert some content) and set it up as your ‘home’page (setting -> reading -> set up as static page -> select this page you’ve just created)
– go to pages to quick edit this ‘home’page and assign the above created template (pagewithnews.php to it)
you now should see a static page with the contect you’ve inserted, and underneath the posts should be shown (in case you have some^^)
that’s it 🙂
