Yes, when I add NEW items, there is no change to the Latest from feature on the pages... Very strange and frustrating...

If possible send me admin access from our contact form.

NEVER post credentials in the public forum.

Done!

Hello Donald,

I got the credentials and replied to your mail.

Ok we overlooked the obvious.
The latest from.. either its a menu item or inside the item, it pulls the latest items.
When an item has a created date of 2030, it will always come up first.

I feel like an idiot!!!

I put those dates to make sure that those articles would always appear first in the series... (I hadn't found a better way to do that... but I'll work on it from that end.)

And they are appearing first... and beating all the "Latest"!

Many thanks for your patience and perseverance with this novice!

I now consider this matter resolved!

You 're welcome Donald :)
I 'm happy I could help out.
