show page content custom home template

[dmcleod87]

hi all,

i have started building a new site and i'm having trouble with a custom home template i've created. i've put it together from various sources. the code i used below displays the homepage content, but also displays all the websites pages as posts below the page content.

add_action('genesis_loop', 'custom_loop');
function custom_loop() {
	global $paged;
 
    $args = array('post_type' => 'page');
    // Accepts WP_Query args
    // (http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query)
    
    genesis_custom_loop( $args );

}

i've tried adding this query but it seems to do nothing

$query = new WP_Query( 'page_id=31' );

can anyone point me in the right direction? thanks!

What happens when you scrap that template and just set that particular page to be your static front page in Settings > Reading?

Seems that might be the easier course of action, unless there's something else you were trying to achieve?

that's what it's set to currently, but still shows the other pages as posts...all i want is the homepage content which is there, but without the other page content underneath...

What theme are you using?

You could use a custom page template with widgets so the loop of posts is not displayed.

i'm using the genesis sample theme with a custom template and widgets, but need to show page content as well. full code for template is below -

<?php
/*
Template Name: Widget Template

Created for three featured widget section, by Iniyan-tweaky
*/
//Displaying posts on this page
remove_action( 'genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop' );

add_action('genesis_loop', 'custom_loop');
function custom_loop() {
global $paged;

$args = array('post_type' => 'page');
// Accepts WP_Query args
// (http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query)

// $query = new WP_Query( 'page_id=31' );

genesis_custom_loop( $args );

}

//Featured Widgets
add_action('genesis_before_content', 'iniyan_template');
function iniyan_template() {

echo'<div id="tweaky-widgets">';

genesis_widget_area( 'home-featured', array(
'before' => '<div class="home-featured widget-area">',
'after' => '</div>',
) );

genesis_widget_area( 'featured-one', array(
'before' => '<div class="featured-one">',
'after' => '</div>',
) );

genesis_widget_area( 'featured-two', array(
'before' => '<div class="featured-two">',
'after' => '</div>',
) );

genesis_widget_area( 'featured-three', array(
'before' => '<div class="featured-three">',
'after' => '</div>',
) );

echo '</div>';

}

genesis(); // <- everything important: make sure to include this.

nevermind figured it out. just had to remove custom loop and leave the widgets.

<?php
/* 
Template Name: Widget Template
*/

//Featured Widgets
add_action('genesis_before_content', 'iniyan_template');
function iniyan_template() {

echo'<div id="tweaky-widgets">';

genesis_widget_area( 'home-featured', array(
    	'before' => '<div class="home-featured widget-area">',
    	'after' => '</div>',
) );

genesis_widget_area( 'featured-one', array(
       'before' => '<div class="featured-one">',
       'after' => '</div>',
   ) );
   

genesis_widget_area( 'featured-two', array(
       'before' => '<div class="featured-two">',
       'after' => '</div>',
   ) );
   

genesis_widget_area( 'featured-three', array(
       'before' => '<div class="featured-three">',
       'after' => '</div>',
   ) );

echo '</div>';

}

genesis(); // <- everything important: make sure to include this.

Don't think that will work as you register widgets in your child themes functions file not a template file.
