Can I 'filter' the front page?

Using Ghost
1

Hi there,

Am using the ‘Digest’ theme on my site at: http://mattrutherford.co.uk/

There are posts I’d like to ‘restrict’ my front page to only updating when I publish my newsletter - can I specify the category that goes to the Front Page? And leave other posts to land in the bacground without updating the front page.

I cannot find this anywhere in settings.

Thanks…

You can set your front-page loop to only get posts within a certain category (lets say newsletter).

So you use the {{#get}} helper to fetch this tag alone.

Code could look like this (very basic)

{{#get "posts" limit="all" filter="tag:newsletter" include="authors"}}
     <h1>{{title}}</h1>
  {{/get}}

You can do what @sergiovolt suggests, but that’s going to break pagination on some themes. I’d look instead at setting up custom routes.yaml, which will use the existing theme’s index.hbs code. Here’s the documentation: Ghost Themes - Dynamic URLs & Routing
