Problem:

The issue here is that the user wanted to add their archive cell to their homepage layout.

Solution:

Is there any way to achieve this, or can only the normal WordPress 'posts' appear on the homepage using Layouts
A. So this one won't be possible because archive cells ONLY work on wordpress archive pages.

I was execting to be able to select which 'post types' I want to display on the homepage (like when creating a view), but there's no option for this.

This is because when adding an archive cell to your layout it is under the assumption that you are creating a custom archive page. If this was the case then you will need to use the "Change how this layout is used" button to assign the layout to a custom archive.

As a workaround for this you will need to create a substitute archive page by using views. All that is need is by going to Toolset-> Views and just creating a new view for the CPT you want to display on the homepage.

Then you just need to go to your homepage layout and add a view cell, then add this new view that you've just created. This works just as well as with the archive.
