Force Blog Feed onto Custom Static Home Page
-
I have used the instructions provided here (https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page) to create a static front page for my blog/website – https://broadcast.cm4draft.net/. I have a custom page template set up and assigned to the static Home page that allows me to use a different set of sidebar widgets and teasers at the top of the site. I do not want these to appear on any other pages. I am not a PHP coder, but I can usually find strings of code needed by digging around in files or searching the web.
MY ULTIMATE QUESTION IS… How in the world can I force the homepage into displaying the blog feed instead of showing the PAGE content? I’m guessing there is a string of code I can place in my “custom-home.php” file that will tell WordPress to treat the page like the main blog feed rather than a page.
Once this is working, my plan is to use this technique (https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Template_Tags/query_posts) to set the custom front page to tease only 2-3 most recent blog postings.
Any ideas would be much appreciated – thanks!
