[Support request] Change Posts to Pages

Thanks Manuel

Hi there,

both those sites have 2 methods of displaying Posts.

1. Standard theme templates that have been customized using GP Block Element – Loop Templates.
This is as seen on the Blog and various Category Archive Pages.

WordPress does not include “Pages” in the main_query by default, so they don’t show in blog or archives.
Using the pre_get_posts filter hook you can tell WordPress to include them, here’s an example PHP function to do that:

function add_custom_post_types_to_query( $query ) {
    if ( is_archive() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
        $query->set( 'post_type', array( 'post', 'page' ) );
    }
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'add_custom_post_types_to_query' );

However you would need to consider adding Taxonomies to pages too if you need to.
If you’re working with hierarchical page structures then you would not bother here, and method 2 may be more pertinent.

2. GenerateBlocks Query Loop Block
those sites have a static front page that use the GenerateBlocks Query Loop to display posts.
Each of those query loop blocks has a Post Type parameter which by default is set to Posts, you can change this to Pages or any other registered post type. to display those instead.

Each Query Loop can be duplicated, cut and paste to other pages if required.

You’re welcome, and thanks again Manuel.
The topic will remain open
