Show specific post category on Home

Hi Mauro,

You should be able to do that with Tom's WP Show post plugin: https://wpshowposts.com/

Hope this helps!

If you want to use the default blog, this might help: https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/multiple-static-frontpage-selected-posts-on-frontpage/#post-157558

It doesn't work.... But surely i'm missing something.
My category name is "Prossimi Eventi" and the slug is prossimi-eventi.
the code i pasted in my child theme's function.php is:

function generate_home_category( $query ) {
    if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
        $query->set( 'prossimi_eventi', 'prossimi-eventi' );
    }
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'generate_home_category' );

Instead of:

$query->set( 'prossimi_eventi', 'prossimi-eventi' );

Try:

$query->set( 'category_name', 'prossimi-eventi' );

Nope....
It didn't work too

Hmm, well that's the way to do it. You'll need to play with it and make sure your category slug is correct etc..

I have a plugin named Simple Custom Post Order installed, which let me set manually the post order. May this cause conflict with the php code you post?

It's possible, worth testing.

GOT TO WORK!

Don't know what i missed but with this code, and the plugin too, it works!

function generate_home_category( $query ) {
    if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
        $query->set( 'category_name', 'prossimi-eventi' );
    }
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'generate_home_category' );

Thank you so much! :D

Awesome! Glad you got it working :)

Hi!

Is it better to disable "Blog" plugin in case i want to use "WP Show Post"?

No need - you can use both if you want, or just one. Having them both doesn't hurt anything :)
