Hi,

I want just to include on category on my front page. found this code

function my_home_category( $query ) {
if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
$query->set( 'cat', '230');
}
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'my_home_category' );

but if I include this in the custom css it doesn't work. any idea how to solve?

Hi,

In custom CSS you can able to put your on CSS code. To put such codes you need to customization in your source code.

Hi Sameer,

Thanks for your reply. In which source code should I put this? Put my webiste online, see http://www.holidaybreaks.nl/ On the front page I just want the category Tips. Also the home button does not show (only when you hoover). How to solve this?

Really happy with the theme. Found most of my questions on the forum.

Thanks for your help!

Hi,

Please paste the code given below in Custom CSS section
(Appearance -> Theme Options -> Styling Options -> Custom CSS) of your dashboard.

Code:

#menu .ddsmoothmenu li:first-child a {
  color: #000 ! important;
}

Also Kindly explain what exactly the sentence "On the front page I just want the category Tips" is all about, so that I can guide you accordingly.

On the front page I would like to show just the posts in the category Tips (as now made on a separate page, see http://www.holidaybreaks.nl/categorie/tips/). So not the latest posts but just from one specific category.

Thanks for your help! Am happy with you ;/).

Hi,

So I hope you have resolved your problem by your own. As you have created a separate page for the same and its looking perfectly fine.

Apply the below given block of code.

Code:

<h1><?php printf(__('Category Archives: %s', 'inkthemes_blogtrend'), 'Tips'); ?></h1>

Hi Sameer,

Unfortunately this does not do the trick, it just shows Categorty Archives: Tips between the slider and the posts. See http://www.holidaybreaks.nl/

Hi,

Kindly Use the below code it will show all the blogs according to category on homepage only you need to provide your category id currently I have put 'category' => 230 .

Code:

 <?php
$args = array ( 'category' => 230, 'posts_per_page' => 5);
$myposts = get_posts( $args );
foreach( $myposts as $post ) :    setup_postdata($post);
?>
<div class="post">
            <div class="post_list">
                <h1 class="post_title"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">
                        <?php the_title(); ?>
                    </a></h1>
                <?php if ((function_exists('has_post_thumbnail')) && (has_post_thumbnail())) { ?>
                    <?php inkthemes_get_thumbnail(224, 145); ?>                   
                <?php } else { ?>
                    <?php inkthemes_get_image(224, 145); ?>
                    <?php
                }
                ?>
                <div class="post_content">
                    <ul class="post_meta">
                        <li class="date"><?php the_time('F j, Y'); ?></li>
                        <li class="category"><?php the_category(', '); ?></li>
                        <li class="admin"><?php the_author_posts_link(); ?></li>
                    </ul>
                    <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
                    <a class="read-more" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">Read More..</a>
                </div>
            </div>
<?php endforeach; ?>
                <!--End Post-->
                <div class="clear"></div>
    <?php inkthemes_pagination(); ?>
</div>

doesn't do the trick either ... and then also the right side disappears and is then under all the posts. so put it back to the old situation.
