Adding more categories to main page

  • I have little to no knowledge on using css, but I’ve managed to set up slider and below that 3 rows of recent post (using the customize option).

    I would like to know how to make my front page feature posts from different categories I have, for example:

    ==========
    ( slider )
    1. News
    () () ()
    () () ()
    2. Videos
    () () ()
    () () ()
    ———–

    () – is a post as shown at the moment

    Currently it only features recent posts from all categories.

    Second, I would like to insert ads in between each row only on front page, as I have post specific ads on each post.

    ==========
    ( slider )
    1. News
    () () ()
    —ad here—
    () () ()
    —ad here—
    () () ()

    I’m looking forward to your response. Thanks in advance.

  • Hello,
    If you need another category post on home page, try by making the custom template for home page and call the required category there. For example if you want to add another category called “Advertise”, use WP Query to call that category on home page. The best approach is by making a custom template because now front page displays all post you created.
    Try once, if you need more question to ask or need help, feel free to ask. I will do my best to help you.
    Thanks

    I’ve created a new page and I can set it to be shown on home page instead of recent posts in customize menu of the theme, but I’m having trouble making the page show any posts at all because I don’t know how to call those categories.
    Is it possible to do it this way?

    I would be delighted if you could help me make the code work on this page, to show for example:

    6 posts from one category (2 rows of 3 posts)
    then I could insert ad code
    then 6 posts from second category (2 rows of 3 posts)

    As I’ve mentioned before my CSS coding knowledge is zero. xD

    Hello, if i gave you code and if any small error occur it may cause a big problem for solving that issues. So it would better to hire a customizer to do this, it would be better for you. Its not a simple task because you have to write some CSS code also. I recommend you to hire a customizer for better solution.
    Thanks
