Limiting home page blog post category

Is it possible to limit the home page blog posts to a single post category? I don't want every new post to show on the home page automatically, only certain types of posts. Thanks.

 

Hello,

Go to front-page.php present in your theme directory and replace current code

Code:

 <?php query_posts('showposts='.$thelimit.''); if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

with code given below

Code:

 <?php
$args = array(
'category_name'=>'ENTER YOUR CATEGORY NAME HERE'
);
$query = new WP_Query($args);
?>
 
<?php query_posts('showposts='.$thelimit.''); if (have_posts()) : while ($query->have_posts()) : $query->the_post(); ?>
