Replace default loop with genesis_custom_loop

front-page.php

<?php




remove_action('genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop');
add_action('genesis_loop', 'custom_do_loop');

function custom_do_loop() {
	
     global $paged;
	
     $args = array(
          'post_type' => 'portfolio',
          'order' => 'DESC',
          'posts_per_page' => 4
						
    );
 
    genesis_custom_loop( $args );
		
 }






genesis();

This basically turns the default Genesis loop to a custom loop so you can still use the Genesis hooks to remove and move stuff around.
