I am trying to get a custom-post-type grid to display on my homepage. I am using the genesis framework within WordPress. I have the CPT archive grid working correctly on the archive page but its not displaying any of the posts when I use the code on my home page.
<?php
/*** This file handles the output on the homepage.*/
/***************** Start Project Filter ********************/
// Force full width content (optional)
add_filter( 'genesis_pre_get_option_site_layout', '__genesis_return_full_width_content' );
//remove standard loop (optional)
remove_action( 'genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop' );
// Add our custom loop
add_action( 'genesis_loop', 'lp_filterable_portfolio' );
// Enqueue javascript
wp_enqueue_script('isotope', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/isotope.pkgd.min.js', array('jquery'), '1.5.25', true);
wp_enqueue_script('isotope_init', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/isotopes_init.js', array('isotope'), '', true);
/*** Get Excerpt. */
function the_excerpt_max_charlength($charlength) {
$excerpt = get_the_excerpt();
$charlength++;
if ( mb_strlen( $excerpt ) > $charlength ) {
$subex = mb_substr( $excerpt, 0, $charlength - 5 );
$exwords = explode( ' ', $subex );
$excut = - ( mb_strlen( $exwords[ count( $exwords ) - 1 ] ) );
if ( $excut < 0 ) {
echo mb_substr( $subex, 0, $excut );
} else {
echo $subex;
}
echo '[...]';
} else {
echo $excerpt;
}
}
/**
* Output filterable items. */
function lp_filterable_portfolio( ){
$args = array(
'post_per_page' => 9999
);
$loop = new WP_Query( $args );
$terms = get_terms( 'my_taxonomy' );
$count=0;
?>
<div class="archive-description">
<?php if( $terms ) { ?>
<ul id="portfolio-cats" class="filter clearfix">
<li><a href="#" class="active" data-filter="*"><span><?php _e('All', 'lp'); ?></span></a></li>
<?php
foreach( $terms as $term ){
echo "<li><a href='#' data-filter='.$term->slug'><span>$term->name</span></a></li>";
}
?>
</ul><!-- /portfolio-cats --><br/><br/>
<?php } ?>
<?php if( have_posts() ) { ?>
<div id="portfolio-wrap" class="clearfix filterable-portfolio">
<div class="portfolio-content">
<?php while( have_posts() ): the_post(); ?>
<?php $count++; ?>
<?php $terms = get_the_terms( get_the_ID(), 'my_taxonomy' ); ?>
<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail($post->ID) ) { ?>
<article class="portfolio-item col-<?php echo $count; ?> <?php if( $terms ) foreach ( $terms as $term ) { echo $term->slug .' '; }; ?>">
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php echo genesis_get_image( array( size => 'lp-portfolio' ) ); ?>
<div class="portfolio-overlay">
<h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
<p><?php the_excerpt_max_charlength(50);?></p>
</div><!-- overlay --></a>
</article>
<?php } ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</div><!-- /themes-content -->
</div><!-- /themes-wrap -->
<?php } ?>
<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
</div>
<?php
wp_reset_postdata();
}
genesis();
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Answering my own question... MUHAHAHAHAHA
By adding 'post_type' => 'projects' to my $args = arrray and changing while( have_posts() ): the_post(); to while ( $loop->have_posts() ): $loop->the_post(); as refrenced in section "Querying by Post Type" on the WordPress Post Types page I was able to get all the custom post types pulling and filtering on the home page.
Hope this helps anyone else looking to answer the same question.
Full Working Code:

// Add our custom loop
add_action( 'genesis_loop', 'lp_filterable_portfolio' );
// Enqueue javascript
