How do you have a custom post type page as your home page? #wordpress More specifically regarding Portfolio of #genesiswp's Minimum Pro
We can show Portfolio Custom Post Type's archive page content on the homepage by
- customizing the homepage's main query and modifying it so only portfolio post type's entries are returned
- editing front-page.php with code from archive-portfolio.php
Note: Ensure that Front page is set to display latest posts at Settings > Reading.
Step 1
Add the following at end of child theme's functions.php:
Wow, thanks for doing this.
What do I do if I just want the navigation bar and the Portfolio entries? No big picture, call to action, or information about the site.
Updated the post. Check Addendum.
Thanks so much.
If I do this and Front page is set to display latest posts at Settings > Reading, then how do I have a page where all my non-Portfolio blog posts display on?
Nevermind, I forgot that for Genesis you have to set a page’s template to “Blog”
Hello! I love this idea. How might this be modified to allow for 2-4 portfolio items to be displayed above the standard posts that get pulled in from the blog? So, just adding this functionality to the current front page?
How would you add 2-4 porfolio items in addition to the items it pulls from the blog?

hi there,
this is exactly what im looking for, however i’m running into some snags. i’ve followed your tutorial for the addendum (portfolio images only with footer and header) and my homepage points to my portfolio test page, but the images aren’t showing up.
any ideas of what im doing wrong?
aha! figured it out.
i created a new page and applied the ‘filterable portfolio’ template to that page. worked like a charm.
thanks!
Thank you very much , great help . I would like to add 4 4 images in each line , where I could change the numbers from 2 t o4 please.
Many thanks
Hello Sridhar or others,
I have followed exactly step 1 to 3 to show my portfolio on the homepage.
But it only show the title of the post which is linking to my oprtfolio.
Can you help me what I am doing wrong or forgot to do?

I have cleaned up the code in the article and tested it on a fresh install followed by setting it up as a copy of the theme demo of Minimum Pro. It is working fine. Can you compare the code with what you have and check again?
Hello Sridhar,
Can I send you a PM with my credentials for a quick look at my site?

Yes. Send WP and FTP logins via http://sridharkatakam.com/contact/.
Fixed.
The problem was that the code in this tutorial was not formatted correctly and single quotes got pasted as similar but not single quote characters.
I edited it in your functions.php and now the Portfolio entries are appearing on front page.
