Overview

Adds a simple set of options to modify the default query. Be careful, this affects all list type
pages on the site and not just the home page.

You can:

  • Customise the post types used
  • Exclude terms from any taxonomy
  • Change the ordering
  • Set an offset to skip posts
  • Turn paging off
  • Use a simple meta query
