        <?php
    $recent_posts = wp_get_recent_posts(array(
        'numberposts' => 4,  
        'orderby'       => 'post_date',
        'order'         => 'DESC',
        'post_type'     => 'post',
        'post_status'   => 'publish'
    ));
    foreach($recent_posts as $post) : ?>
        <div class="col-md-3 col-sm-6 col-xxs-6"> <a href="<?php echo get_permalink($post['ID']) ?>" class="media-box"> <?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail($post['ID'], array(370,250)); ?></a>
          <div class="grid-item-inner">
            <div class="post-item-meta"> <i class="zmdi zmdi-calendar"></i> <?php echo get_the_date('', $post->ID); ?> </div>
            <h4><a href="<?php echo get_permalink($post['ID']) ?>" title="<?php echo $post['post_title'] ?>"> <?php echo $post['post_title'] ?> </a></h4> 
            <?php  echo wpautop(wp_trim_words($post["post_content"], 15)); ?> 
     <div class="meta-data"><a href="#" class="meta-author"><?php _e( 'by &nbsp;', 'thunder' ); ?> <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?></a>
     <a href="<?php echo get_permalink($post['ID']) ?>" class="meta-link"><i class="zmdi zmdi-arrow-right"></i></a>
     </div>
