I had the same issue a month or two ago, and got some fantastic help from the community here at WordPress Answers. The solution is to run two loops in your index.php file. One to … Read more
Try adding this code to functions.php file: add_action(‘pre_get_posts’, ‘ad_filter_categories’); function ad_filter_categories($query) { if ($query->is_main_query() && is_home()) { $query->set(‘category_name’,’news, uncategorized’); } } category_name is the slug or the nicename of the category. Add a comma separated list of the categories you wish to include.
Fast ‘n’ Hacky The problem can be solved by changing line 319 in facebook.php to the following: if (is_home()) { This way, the front page is not treated as a home page but as a regular page, for which the facebook feature settings can be applied (and will be handled correctly).

One way is to have a single front-page.php and then using get_template_part(), to show different content based on user choice. Rough code: get_header(); $layout = get_option( ‘front_page_layout’, ‘default’ ); get_template_part( ‘front-page’, $layout ); get_footer(); After that you need to create a file for every layout, they should be called, something like: front-page-one.php front-page-two.php front-page-three.php front-page-default.php … Read more
