By default WordPress pages donot show up on home page. Only posts are displayed on home page. Here is wordpress php code which can be used to show wordpress pages on home page.
function pre_get_posts_home($query) {
if (is_home() && $query->query_vars['suppress_filters'] == FALSE) {
$query->set('post_type', array('post', 'page'));
// skip if skip_home=1
$meta_query = $query->get('meta_query');
$meta_query[] = array(
'key'=>'skip_home',
'compare'=>'NOT EXISTS',
);
$query->set('meta_query',$meta_query);
}
}
add_action('pre_get_posts', 'pre_get_posts_home');
Note that $query->query_vars['suppress_filters'] check is needed as there are other queries on home page for getting items for menu, etc. We don’t want to change those queries.
