Whitespace: Portfolio projects (Jetpack) also on homepage, along regular posts

[fpsdf]

I'd like to show portfolio projects (created with Jetpack) on the homepage, just like regular posts. Is this easily achievable through functions.php or by customizing index.php loop?

Could I even select which projects would show up (using a specific category for that, for example)?

Thank you so much!

Hi Francisco,

By using Jetpack do you mean you're wanting to show a gallery on your homepage ?

I'm using Jetpack with Custom Content Type module activated, so that I can add some Portfolio Projects.
I want to have these projects on my homepage, behaving as regular blog posts (Whitespace theme shows blog posts on the homepage).
Perhaps filtered with some category, so that I can control which ones will get a place on the homepage.

I hope this is clear.

Thank you so much for this.

This involves altering the query in the WordPress loop. Thanks and credit goes to Brad Dalton of wpsites for providing this custom query code.

You will simply copy and paste this into your functions.php file.

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'wpsites_add_custom_post_types_to_loop' );

function wpsites_add_custom_post_types_to_loop( $query ) {

if ( is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) {

$query->set( 'post_type', array( 'jetpack-portfolio' ) );

return $query;

    }
}

Thank you Brock (and Brad), I did not have a ready answer for this one.

Guys, thank you so much!

That placed portfolio projects right on the homepage, exactly as I intended.

Is there something I can add to this code, so that I can filter it by category? Let's say I only want projects with the category "special" on the homepage?

Thank you, once more. This is great.
