Homepage Topics

  • I am using 3.0.1 and using the theme f8-lite with a couple of templates modiforcations.

    Currently (as default) the theme shows the most recents posts on my homepage. Is there a way i could classify posts so that only posts i want to show/promote on the homepage show?

    problem i have is that the f8-lite has a image slideshow build into that uses posts to make the images… so cant change to a static page through settings.

    any ideas??

  • two ways –

    1) Use sticky posts. These always show above all other posts.

    2) Create a category for the posts that you want to display and add the posts to this category. On the home page run a query before the loop to pick up only these posts. Something like the example below should work.

    wp_query(array('category' => 15, 'post_status' => 'publish'))

    and then add wp_reset_query() after the loop

    cheers… where about would i added the code?? cant seems to figger WP structure yet…

    is the stickyposts a plugin?

    Sticky posts is part of WP and should be available through the Post editor.

    You would need to add the code in your source for your homepage, somewhere near the top (before if(have_posts)).
