Show Recent Blog Posts in Homepage Second Feature Section?

I was recently using the Dzonia Lite theme and upgraded to the Pro version. Now there is no option for recent blog posts to show on the homepage. I'd like for these to show in the Second Feature Section like they do in Dzonia Lite. How can I do this? I'm not a programmer so I need user friendly instructions. Thanks!

 

Hello,

For this you can use "Special Recent Posts" plugin.
http://wordpress.org/plugins/special-recent-posts/installation/
Activate it.
Then open front-page.php and replace code shown in the image with the code given below.

Code:

      <?php
    if(function_exists('special_recent_posts')) {
       $args = array(
    'post_limit'       => 2,
           'widget_title' => text
);
        special_recent_posts($args);
    }
?> 

Thanks & Regards

Thank you!
This works but with an error.
The word "text" appears as the title of the recent posts. I would like it to read "Recent Posts" but don't know how to do that.
Thank you for any additional help you can provide.

Hello,

We have checked your website and not found any error.
If you want to put your title in place of "text" then go to the front-page.php file present in your theme directory and
follow the instruction shown in the image given below.



This will solve your issue.

 

Thank you!
Just a note - I can only enter a one word title - "Posts". If I enter two words - "Recent Posts" - I get an error message. I'm good with just a one word title but wanted to let you know if the issue comes up again for someone else.
Thanks again!
