I updated the tutorial.

Any solution to allow the pagination to still work with limited home posts? I have removed the hook in question to add a numbered page button. method.

Thanks, great tutorial overall.

First of all, how do I customize that code to only show the latest THREE posts? That code looks like it will keep posting as long as there are posts. Also, I want them to just be the excerpts (including the thumbnails). And would I just stick the code inside a function and assign it to a hook?

I realize I may be asking for too much, but worth a shot ;)

You’d need to setup a custom loop and hook it where you want it to be used.

I have a similar set up to Romulo above – static homepage and blog page elsewhere…however I want the latest 3 posts to show on the homepage. I used the code and swapped is_home to is_front_page as you suggested, but it wipes out the static content I built into the “home” page and only shows the latest 3 posts.

I would like to have all my static content (combination of text and images) showing at the top of the content box, then underneath that I want the latest three posts.

How would I do that? Thanks!

I think it is under reading. Total posts should be 15. It defaults to 10.

function limit_front_page() {
  global $query_string;
  if (is_home())
    query_posts($query_string.'cat=2393');
}
add_action('thesis_hook_before_content', 'limit_front_page');

Love the tute, exactly what I was looking for, but as Kristerella said it breaks my pagination (ie you get the same 8 posts on page 2/3/4 etc..)

Not sure exactly what she was saying the fix was though, help!

Here is what i have added so far.

function limit_front_page() {
global $query_string;
if (is_home()) {
query_posts(‘cat=2393′);
}
}
add_action(‘thesis_hook_before_content’, ‘limit_front_page’);

thanks so much!

When i follow your advice:

It hass come to my attention that the previous/next links where not working on our home page. To remove this navegation simply add remove_action(‘thesis_hook_after_content’, ‘thesis_post_navigation’);. I know it isn’t the cleanest solution but these links were leaking link juice anyways. :)

This removes the link from all category pages of my site. Whilst i agree that it’s nice to remove the link from the homepage i don’t think its worth reducing the amuount of pages that google can access via my category pages.

Is there a way to just remove the link from the homepage and not the category pages?

Thanks

If i can remember correctly try toggling the one on archives.

You might also add a global $post; to the top of your function.
