I believe that you would need to add a call to query_posts() and specify both ‘post’ and ‘your-post-type’ in the ‘post_type’ argument.
The exact coding will depend on your theme.
Okay cheers – am not very familiar with the Codex although I am a dab hand at PHP. I am using the twentyeleven theme at the moment. Can someone dvise exactly what I should code and where?
First, you must determine which template file is called. If you do not have a home.php file, it is probably index.php.
If you are using the unmodified index.php from twentyeleven, try changing this:
<div id="content" role="main">
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>
to this:
<div id="content" role="main">
<?php
global $wp_query;
query_posts(
array_merge(
$wp_query->query,
array(
'post_type' => array('post','my-custom-type')
)
)
);
?>
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>
Change ‘my-custom-type’ to your own type.
