Show 3 Posts Instead 3 Pages On Front Page

Hm. This is a cool question ??

WordPress has a number different controls you can add into the Customizer, and one of them is dropdown-pages – which is what Edin is using here. There isn’t currently a dropdown-posts that we could employ, so you’d have to build one on your own (this tutorial looks like it might start you in the right direction).

That’s going to require a fair amount of comfort with PHP/WordPress theming.

If I were you, I’d probably leave Edin as it is, and use a plugin as a workaround.

1. Write your three posts
2. Write a page to go along with those posts – all each one needs
3. Add those three pages as your Featured Pages in the Customizer

So far, you’ve got the normal Edin setup, with some extra pages. Let’s add a plugin.

4. Search for a good redirection plugin
5. Set each of your featured pages to redirect to the corresponding post
6. Do a victory lap

Now Page A will appear on the front page, but when clicked it will actually take people to Post A… and so on.

Let me know if that sounds like a good approach ??

Hi, Chad

I think you’re right. It would be easier for me to leave Edin as it is and use redirection plugin. I could edit the PHP file by myself, but unfortunately it will be a problem when I want to update Edin theme and I have to redo every code again.

Thanks a lot for your help.

If you’re comfortable with making the PHP changes yourself, you can do so in a child theme, then the modifications would be protected in an update ??
