Home Page

Hello TheKevling, you will have to place the following code in your theme functions.php file to display reviews along with normal posts on your home page

add_filter( 'pre_get_posts', 'your_prefix_get_posts' );
function your_prefix_get_posts( $query ) {
	if ( is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
		$query->set( 'post_type', array( 'post', 'review' ) );
	}
	return $query;
}

I hope that helps.

Thanks

Is there anywhere specific in Theme Functions.php that this should go?

Thanks

Place it at the end of file, but just make sure not to cause any php syntax errors.

Also, note that after theme update your changes will be overwritten. To avoid this you can make use of child themes and do your customizations in it.

Hey Chetan.

Hope you’re well.

One problem I’ve noticed with this, is that the date order seems to be alphabetical.

My homepage shows:

Post (28 April 2016)
Review (18 May 2016)
Post (19 April 2016)
Review (19 April 2016)

I’m assuming this is due to the lack of an orderby in the new query? I tried adding:

$query->set( 'orderby', 'date');

With no joy.

Could you assist with PHP-fu, please? Thank you, as always.

Hi shemmie, I think $query->set( 'orderby', 'date'); is working, maybe the first post being displayed on home page is either sticky or featured because all other posts and reviews are ordered by published date in descending order.

If this is not the case, then let me know.

Thanks
Chetan

Hiya Chetan.

As ever, thank you for your patience with me. It seems that you’re quite correct, the theme I’m using has selected a post to present at the top, by some unknown qualifier, as it’s not using Sticky, and it’s not featured.

My sincere apologies, and thanks.
