Page excerpts on Whitespace home page

[Tim Squires]

Hello, I'm experimenting with the Whitespace theme.

http://my.studiopress.com/themes/whitespace/#demo-full

I really like the way that the post excerpts display on the home page, but I would like to display page excerpts, not posts.

Does anyone have any tips or advice on how to achieve this?

Many thanks,
Tim

This post is older (2 months) and no responses; I'm also interested in knowing how to do this. I have a small soccer team page that the Whitespace Pro theme would work perfectly for, if only I could have Pages displayed, not posts.

Bumping to see if anyone can help.

Thanks.

add this in your functions.php file

function show_pages_on_home( $query ) {
  if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
    $query->set( 'post_type', 'page' );
  }
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'show_pages_on_home' );

Wanting to display the selected pages Then try this one

function show_pages_on_home( $query ) {
  if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
    $query->set( 'post_type', 'page' );
    $query->set( 'post__in', array(1,2,3) );  // Replace 1,2,3 by your page ID
  }
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'show_pages_on_home' );

I'll second Tim's response.

Chinmoy is part of the reason I only use Genesis based themes. Good stuff!!!
