Thank you for sharing this, i found this really handy for tucking away a holiday post that was looking out of place.

Hello,

This is exactly what I need for a project I am working on, but can’t seem to get it to work.

I think it is with the array #’s, but don’t know for sure.

Can you please advise?

Artur:

Using array( 1 ) simply excludes your oldest post from showing on the home page. Your latest post would have the highest number. This code example demonstrates how to hide posts from the home page. To change the number of posts that are shown on the home page, there is an option in Settings >> Reading to change the number of posts per page. You could change this setting to 1 to accomplish what I perceive to be your goal.

Many thanks Corey, it works :)

the only question I have:
how do you specify which post you’d like to show up on Home Page?

I’ve changed array(603,621) to array(1) and it shows my latest post, my aim is to make it show only my first post on home page

Thanks a lot for your help

Regards,
Artur

No it doesn’t. I’ve activated the WP Default theme and a couple of others and the homepage still shows all the posts.

Jim:

If you change the setting and it has no effect on your site, you may be using a theme that has hard-coded changes that bypass the settings. If you change your site to a different theme temporarily, does it work?

I want to show only my latest post on my homepage, but for some reason, it shows all of my posts.

When I click on the post’s ‘links’ in my menu, each post shows individually, which is the way they should.

I’m using WP and have set my posts number to “1″ in my Reading settings, but it has no effect.
