Education Theme, Choose Category for home page posts

[ameeker]

How can I define the category the posts are being pulled from using the education theme on the home page (above the footer, not in one of the widgetized areas).

I asked this myself too (probably many people do). I  was only able to limit the amount of  posts under the standard reading settings (not the Genesis Theme settings).

Let us know if you find out.

Ok I found something thanks to Brad here: http://www.studiopress.community/topic/excluding-category-from-grid-loop/ - this solution was originally give to exclude categories from the home page, see his post there to learn more about that

Try this, but change your category ID accordingly:

/** Home page display one category only */

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'exclude_category_posts_home' );

function exclude_category_posts_home( $query ) {

if( $query->is_main_query() && $query->is_home() ) {
$query->set( 'cat', '4' );
}

}

Put this in the functions.php file
