How do I list recent WordPress posts?
Short answer: You can list posts in WordPress by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the WordPress List Posts action to a workflow, map its 3 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.
Inputs
The fields this action accepts.
Every field can be mapped from an upstream trigger, AI step, table row, or hard-coded literal.
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Status status | options | Optional | Status. Options: Published, Draft, Any |
Per Page per_page | number | Optional | Per Page |
Search search | string | Optional | Search. e.g. "Search term" |
Sample request
{"status": "{{trigger.status}}","per_page": "{{trigger.per_page}}","search": "Search term"}
Returns
[{"id": 42,"date": "2026-04-11T10:00:00","link": "https://your-site.com/my-post/","title": {"rendered": "My Post"},"status": "publish"}]
Use these fields in downstream nodes for routing, logging, or error handling.

FAQ
Questions about List Posts.
What does the List Posts action do in WordPress?
Lists recent WordPress posts, with filters for status, author, category, and date. Useful for newsletter generators or for syncing content elsewhere.
What inputs does List Posts require?
List Posts has no required inputs. Sensible defaults are applied if you leave fields blank.
Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?
Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.
What happens if WordPress returns an error?
The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message WordPress returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.
Does List Posts support batch operations?
Run List Posts inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within WordPress's rate limits.
