Hi,
How can i select the posts of specific categories to show on the Home page?

Hi there,

A plugin like WP Show Posts is your best bet:

Hi Leo,
I found the following solution recently,
You can add this code to GeneratePress function.php
You need to change -34 and -35 according to your category id, that you do not want to show on the front page.

add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'excludeCat');

function excludeCat($query) {
      if ( $query->is_home ) {
            $query->set('cat', '-34,-35');
      }
      return $query;
}

Yup that’d work too.

Make sure you are using the child theme’s function.php otherwise the code will be erased during updates.
