Posts in 3 columns on home page with images – Education Pro theme

[Askitbasket]

Hi there,

I wondered if anybody could advise me of the best way to acheive this?

The default has the posts showing in one single underneath all of the widget areas – I would like my homepage to remain like this, with the posts at the bottom, just in three columns and with images.

Also, would it be possible to restrict the posts that display on the home page to those of one category only?

Thanks in advance

1. Filter the post class conditionally to display posts in 3 columns on your home page

2. Use pre get posts

In both cases you would use the is_home() conditional tag.

Thank you so much Brad, the column solution worked pefectly. ( I will be tackling the category thing later)

There still a slight problem in that I can't get thumbnails to display along with the posts

Also, sorry I should have mentioned this, there is a '1,2, next page' navigation at the bottom that I'd like to get rid of, I think preferably by limiting the number of posts on the home page to 3 rather than disabling the page navigation – is this possible?

Thanks

Use pre_get_posts to control the limit per page

Check the Genesis > Theme Settings > Content Archive settings.

Oh, one other issue – this is making my blog pages display in three columns as well, I'd like to display them in one column ideally and just have the home showing three columns.

Brilliant. I now have images and can control how many posts per page. Thank you!

The only problem I have now is the one mentioned above.

...Just to add to this, it seems as though no "if ( is_home() )" conditional tags are working in my functions.php file. I have another one to remove the posts navigation from the home page that works throughout the site or not at all.

Hi Brad, I am attempting to do the same thing and looking at your link but cannot see the code. Is this because I have to pay for the support to see the code?
