Default Help with wordpress theme design

Hey guys any one with wordpress theme development experience

I didn't liked any of premium review theme so I am making a theme myself for reviewing products.

Designing part is done but I want to get specific five posts on home page ranked 1 to 5.

How can I do this.

One method I know is changing the date of wordpress post.But any other method.

That's not what the OP is asking, he wants to know how to get wordpress to show 5 posts of his choosing ranked by a certain criteria to show on the homepage.

I'm not an expert at all at WP but I would look for a review plugin. There I don't have any experience with a review plug in I'm not able to point you to one.

Hope this helps?

It's possible to use custom queries in WP to display a post in a loop, you may choose whatever sorting criteria you want, including ones on custom fields.

You use a Custom Field on the posts and sort by the contents. See this page: Class Reference/WP Query « WordPress Codex for more details.

Just what Steve said, either use a custom field to be able to query that specific custom field key or simply query the posts through their post ID.

This can help you: Class Reference/WP Query « WordPress Codex , specific function is under: Multiple Posts/Pages Handling (just search for that exact bolded text in page).

Hope it helps.

If you're asking what I think you are, you just need to make 5 sticky posts.

For each post you want to display on the front page, look for "visibility" to the right of the post's editing area. Click on this and put a tick beside "stick this post to the front page".


Received a scam email or text that you think people should know about? PM it to me - I'll add it to Keep Safe On The Net.

Carol, that was the best and easiest suggestion, no extra coding! Brilliant.

You can find this in your "publish" box under visibility.
