2 columns on home page showing 2 Category Archives

  • Hi!

    On my index page, I am trying to set up 2 Main columns, each reflecting a different Category. (The 2 main columns are flanked by 2 sidebars)

    Each column should start with:

    1) the most recent Post, in extract form; then followed by
    2) a list of the 6 previous posts (listed as titles only), and ending with
    3) a list of recent comments, pertaining to that Category.

    I am getting the feeling I must be insane, especially with my limited PHP knowledge or experience.

    I have investigated query_post, but was not successful.

    Could someone give me some guidance how to tackle this challenge?

    My test home page is: https://www.letterlink.de/lsb

    Thanks
    Peter

    You should try it until you get successful.
    Also, you may want to take a look at The_Loop – especially using multiple loops. Using the same loop in both columsn, obviously will display the same content.

    Also, search diligently for 2 column display, there should be examples here in the forums.

    Seem to have solved this:

    1) The easiest help came from the following tutorial:
    Blog Posts in different columns

    2) Found a Plugin conflict… Adhesive v3.2 caused the multiple loops to malfunction, so it had to be deactivated.

    Thanks for the suggestion, moshu (which is how I found the tutorial).
