Home Page only display post from a category or sticky

[treestone]

Hi,

I'm using the Genesis framework with the 'Education" child theme.

How can I set the home page to only display blogs from a certain category, or alternatively only display blogs that are "sticky"?

Thanks.

This is best done by following this tutorial

Customizing the WordPress Query with pre_get_posts

There are some plugins that may help but depending on how they change the query it could result in a 404 error at some point.

Thanks Nick.

Where are the files that need to be edited?

Do i edit the genesis framework?

You never want to edit the genesis framework; any edits there will be overwritten with a genesis upgrade.

 

Any editing should be done in your child theme's files, and according to the link that Nick provided, it looks like it should be done in your functions.php file.

Thanks Susan!

Got it to work.
