Beautiful Pro only show certain category on homepage

[socialspark]

I'd like for my homepage to only display the posts from one specific category, but I'm using the "front page displays: your latest posts" setting because this theme doesn't have a widget area that I can use for Genesis Featured posts widget. How can I get my home page to display only a specific category?

Thanks!

Add this in your functions.php file

function gd_show_posts_from_one_category( $query ) {
    if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() && ( ! is_admin() ) ) {
        $query->set( 'cat', '40' ); //Replace ID 40 with your Category ID
    }
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'gd_show_posts_from_one_category' );

Thanks Brad. The first solution worked, but the "Next Page" link didn't work anymore, so I used your 3rd solution, the custom function similar to the other poster's, and that worked great. Thanks!
