Hey,

If we understand it correctly you need to have this layout that is now but not display posts but different Custom Post Type? Is that right?

In this case you will have to modify the PHP loop in oder to load the details from a different place, not the regular WordPress posts. It will involve PHP and WordPress API changes inside the templates.

Cheers

Hey,

We could provide information on which file to change (home.php) and link to the documentation about custom loops and queries:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query

But if you need us to help you with the exact implementation we’re afraid this will be a paid service as customisations like this are not part of the standard support.

If you need our help with the implementation please contact us via hello@ishyoboy.com to discuss the details and pricing.

Hey,

I need change main page, I want to leave the layout like now, but I want to choose which post would be showed on the main page.

In this case it should be enough to put the posts you want to be displayed on the homepage in a new category (E.g.: Featured) and then modify the home.php to show posts from this category only.

E.g. after the line:
$page = get_post( get_option( 'page_for_posts' ) );

Add:
query_posts('category_name=featured');

Of course make sure the category slug is correct. This shall show only posts from this category.
