By default, WordPress only displays the loop of contents from the blog post type. If we add custom post types, it doesn’t get automatically displayed on home page. To do so, we have to manually add the php snippet below to the Home page. To explain it simply, we’re adding a new loop to display the custom post type.

In this example, we will add a custom post type called “movie” to our second loop.

<?php query_posts( 'post_type=movie&posts_per_page=3'); ?>
	<?php if (have_posts()) : ?><table><tr>
		<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<h4><a title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h4><br />
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
		<?php endwhile; ?>
	<?php endif; ?>

The code above lets you display the 3 most recent posts you have under a custom post type called ‘movie’. Easy stuff eh?
