In general, that isn’t supported out of the box with this plugin. However, if you use a page builder like Elementor Pro or Beaver Builder Pro, you can create pages that loop through custom post types, and those pages can be assigned as your new front page.
I do have another plugin that will allow you to customize the post types that show on your homepage (I need to update it, but it should work): https://wordpress.org/plugins/multiple-content-types/

Thank you so much for replying. I’ll really appreciate if you can update that plugin, It’s been 5 days I’m struggling with it. Trying different Snippets but till now nothing worked except one but there is an issue with that snippet Infinite scroll is displaying duplicate posts but if I use pagination it is displaying correct results.
For that specific project, I want to use infinite scroll.
I’m attaching it here maybe it helps
/*
* 1. Go to Settings > Permalinks and select any page as home page
* Then use the following code
*
* You can add those codes in your functions.php in the theme, if you think your theme won’t be changed.
* Otherwise mu-plugins is the best solution. To use mu-plugins, go to /wp-content/ and find the folder with name 'mu-plugins'.
* If there is no folder in that name, then create a folder, name it 'mu-plugins', create a file inside that,
* give any name you like and paste the code in there. You don't need to activate that plugin. Mu-plugins means must use plugins,
* so it will be activated automatically always. If you use mu-plugins then add a php start tag at the beginning of the code.
*
* Just change the correct CPT name

I just tested the plugin and it does still work. You can go to ‘Plugins’ > ‘Add New’ in the WordPress admin, select ‘Author’ from the dropdown, and then search for ‘woodent’. The ‘Multiple Content Types’ plugin will show up and you can install it. Once active, just visit the ‘Settings’ > ‘Reading’ and set your ‘Content types to show on the main blog and archive pages’.
If it gives you any trouble, just post here and I’ll look into it: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/multiple-content-types/

You are awesome! It solved my issue. I still can’t believe that a 4 years old plugin doing the job perfectly. Thank you so much for your kind support.
No problem! I’m glad I could help!
