I know how to use the plugin on a static page because it’s demonstrated in the video however what about if I want to use the plugin when the front page is the blog roll?
You would have to use your theme hooks. For example, in GeneratePress we have GP Hooks, so you could do this in the “Inside Content Container” hook:
<?php if ( is_front_page() ) : ?> <?php echo do_shortcode( '[wp_show_posts id="xx"]' ); ?> <?php endif; ?>Thanks it worked perfectly, one more question though, what if I wanted to have both the gallery and post on the same page ? I’m using the blog roll
Not too sure what you mean? If you’re adding the shortcode in hooks, you should be able to have whatever you want on the rest of the page (a static page, your blog posts etc..).
You’re right I just got confused, I got the post to show how I want using WPSP however I also still have post showing the default way so basically I have duplicate post one with the WPSP layout and another with the layout before I used WPSP.. How Can I get it so only the post layout for WPSP shows instead of both
You mean your regular blog is showing as well?
If you leave the “Posts page” setting blank in “Settings > Reading” then you shouldn’t have a blog.
Yes I don’t want the regular blog to show. I tried what you said however I couldn’t leave it blank it said I had to have at least 1 post minimum the reading settings looked like this:

It is up to search engines to honor this request.If you choose “A static page” and choose a page for the front page, you should be able to leave the “Posts page” option blank.
You my friend are a genius, your method worked so well that I decided to delete the hooks used for post to display on the front page altogether, because there is no longer a need for them. Now that my front page is technically still the blog page but yet a static page life is a lot easier 🙂
