 * i added this to my fuctions to show only posts of type wines to the homepage.
 *     ```
       function home_posts( $query ) {
           if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
               $query->set( 'post_type', 'wines' );
           }
       }
       add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'home_posts' );
       ```
   
 * I also want to do 12 posts per page. I wrote it as below but I get error Warning:
   Missing argument 2 for WP_Query::set(),
 *     ```
       function home_posts( $query ) {
           if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
               $query->set(array('post_type' => 'wines', 'posts_per_page' => 12));
           }
       }
       add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'home_posts' );
       ```
   
 * What is the correct way to write this?

 * Hi,
 * You’ll want to set multiple times (you can use the $query->set() call as many
   times as you need), so in your case you’ll want to do the following
 *     ```
       $query->set( 'post_type' => 'wines' );
       $query->set( 'posts_per_page' => 12 );
       ```
