Something like this should achieve your goal. You may need to remove the is_main_query() check depending on where you want this to show up though. add_filter(‘pre_get_posts’, ‘projects_are_posts’); function projects_are_posts($query) { if (is_admin() || !is_main_query() ) { return $query; } $types = $query->get(‘post_type’); if (!is_array($types)) { $types = array($types); } if (in_array(‘post’, $types) && !in_array(‘projects’, $types)) … Read more
You want to use update_option for that. https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/update_option/ function set_home_page($post_id) { update_option( ‘page_on_front’, $post_id ); update_option( ‘show_on_front’, ‘page’ ); } add_action( ‘publish_post’, ‘set_home_page’ );
