Hi Viviane,
Thank you for your message and for using Ashe Pro.
Actually, there’s another flexible approach you can use — by creating a custom “Home” page and controlling exactly which posts or categories appear using shortcodes. This will let you show only pinned articles (or exclude “Archives”) while keeping full control over your layout.
Here’s how you can do it:
Go to Dashboard → Pages → Add New, and create a page called Home.
In that page, use one of the shortcodes below:
To display all latest posts:
[bard_blog]
To display posts from specific categories (for example, food and travel):
[bard_blog categories=”food,travel”]
To limit the number of posts:
[bard_blog categories=”food” amount=”5″]
To display only specific post IDs:
[bard_blog post_ids=”1,23,157″]
Then go to Dashboard → Settings → Reading, and under “Your homepage displays,” select A static page and set Home as your homepage.
This method gives you full control over which categories appear — and you can simply exclude “Archives” by not including that category in the shortcode.
If you’d like, I can help you configure the exact shortcode to fit your needs — just tell me which categories you’d like to show or hide.
Kind regards
.
