How to make posts from a custom type can be put instead of the main page of the blog?

Question

WordPress

Hello.
Created a custom post type (function register_post_type();). How can I make these posts can be put instead of the main page through the wp settings. By default, only "pages" can be selected there.

Answer 1

Through the settings, as far as I know, no way. However, this is easily done through code:

function t260557_cpt_on_home( $query ) {
    if( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
        $query->set( 'post_type', 'ВАШ_POST_TYPE' );
    }
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 't260557_cpt_on_home' );

You might $query->is_home()need to use $query->is_front_page().
Use this code in functions.php
