If you use custom post types, you may wish to display recent posts of a custom type in place of recent posts on your front page. A common example is showcasing your portfolio on your front page, with posts being shown elsewhere.
With this plugin, you can select a post type other than “Posts” for the latest posts shown on the front page.

Adds a setting under Settings -> Reading to allow the front page post count to be controlled independently of the main post count and adjusts paging to accomodate for this.
Uses the <code>pre_get_posts</code> hook and checks for the <code>$wp_the_query</code> query being passed, so won’t work with <code>query_posts()</code>.

Set Front Page Post Count

Allows the front page to have a different number of posts than other pages.
