Another Single Category Question

Look at The_Loop and Template_Tags/query_posts.

…Nice refrerences, but the codex confuses me more than anything else.

If someone familiar on the topic could give me some code to do the aforementioned task, I’d be quite happy indeed ??

try this.

<?php $posts = query_posts("cat=2")?>
<?php if ($posts) : foreach ($posts as $post) : start_wp(); ?>
<div class="post">
<h2 class="post-title"><?php comments_popup_link('(0)', '(1)', '(%)','',''); ?>< a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link: <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<div class="post-content">
<?php the_content(''); ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php endforeach; else: ?>
<?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?>
<?php endif; ?>

Thanks

i put a space between ‘<‘ and ‘a’ , otherwise, this forum makes it a hyperlink.
you may have to remove the space.

Thanks

Well, I’ve got good news and I’ve got bad news..

The good news? It worked! The bad news? My home page is now showing no posts. Crap.

Replace the first part of sadish’s code above (before the <div>) with this:

<?php $cat_posts = new WP_Query("cat=2")?>
<?php if ($cat_posts->have_posts()) : while($cat_posts->have_posts()) : $cat_posts->the_post(); ?>

Then change this line:

<?php endforeach; else: ?>

to:

<?php endwhile; else: ?>

In fact, here’s a simpler version that leaves off a few elements — for example, we’ll assume there are always posts in the category and not bother with the “sorry” message:

Also, if you need to limit the # of posts displayed, add a 'showposts' to your query:

WP_Query('cat=2&showposts=5')
