title: Manually show specific posts on homepage
body: <p>To loop and show all WordPress posts we use:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php 
      if( have_posts() ) :
           while( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?&gt;
      &lt;p&gt;&lt;?php the_content(); ?&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;?php 
     endwhile;
     endif;
  ?&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And to show only the first recent post we use: </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php 
      if( have_posts() ) :
           if( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?&gt;
      &lt;p&gt;&lt;?php the_content(); ?&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;?php 
     endif;
     endif;
  ?&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My question is, can I manually select what posts I want to show on my homepage without doing a loop? For example let's say I want to only show post1, post3, and post6 on my homepage, can I do that?</p>
