Hi, it sounds like you want to display content from a custom post on the homepage of your site. If that's correct, you could use a View or a Content Template inserted in a static Page to accomplish this. Since WordPress is already set up to allow you to use a static Page as the homepage, this is usually the most straightforward approach.

If you want to use a View to display the custom post information, you can apply a Query Filter by post ID, and choose a specific custom post ID to display in the View.

If you want to use a Content Template, you can insert the desired custom post ID in the wpv-post-body shortcode attribute "item" when you place the Content Template in your static Page contents. For example:

[wpv-post-body view_template="Your Content Template Name" item="12345"]

Let me know if you have questions about either approach, or if I've misunderstood what you want to accomplish.
