Custom Post Types in main index? (wordpress)

Question

I'm using the Thematic framework along with custom post type ui plug in to make custom posts. So far I can access the permalink page of the custom posts, but they don't appear on the main index of posts made. I was wondering if it was possible to make the custom post types appear as part of the main post feed and how it is done if possible.

Answer 1

This is from wordpress documentation

Write this in your theme folders functions.php file:

function add_post_type_home_query( $query ) {
    if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
        $query->set('post_type', array( 'post', 'your_custom_post_type' ) );
    }
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'add_post_type_home_query' );

Don't forget to replace 'your_custom_post_type' with your actual post_type that you created.
