Blog that only shows specific category?

Yes, you can use a plugin for that. Search theplugin directory – I dont know of one off the top of my head.
Otherwise, you can edit the blog’s loop with an argument like this “&cat=xx” to display only the category you want. First you need to find the loop that the blog is using – using the template hierarchy & a knowledge of your theme. Here’s the page explaining the hierarchy: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Template_Hierarchy

Obviously the easiest solution is a plugin. ??

Thank you Cathy! ; )

If I want to show multiple cat’s could I use this?

“&cat=xx01, xx02, xx03”

cheers,

Yes – this should give you the info you need. Dont forget to reset the query if you want to use it again. https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Category_Parameters

Hi Cathy, hoping you can help me with this, having a bit of trouble for a non-coder ; ) Where would I put “&cat=xx” in this code?

<div class=”post” id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”>
<div class=”entry”><?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php the_content(‘Read the rest of this entry »’); ?>
<img src=”https://www.ventilate.ca/images/issue_08/fill.jpg&#8221; width=”370″ height=”11″>
“><?php the_author() ?> – <?php the_time(‘F jS, Y’) ?> – <?php the_time() ?>

</div>

<img src=”https://www.ventilate.ca/images/issue_08/fill.jpg&#8221; width=”5″ height=”5″>
<div align=”center”><img src=”https://www.ventilate.ca/images/news_horizontal.jpg”></div&gt;
<img src=”https://www.ventilate.ca/images/issue_08/fill.jpg&#8221; width=”5″ height=”20″></div>

<?php endwhile; ?>
<span class=”alignleft”>
<?php next_posts_link(‘« Older posts’) ?>
<span class=”alignright”>
<?php previous_posts_link(‘Newer posts »’) ?>

Thank you in advance ; )

put right at the top before the loop starts

<?php 

query_posts('cat=6');

<!-- Start loop now -->

?> <!-- end loop -->

Thank you so much!!

How can I tell which categories coincide with the cat numbers?

I tried using words like query_posts(‘cat=architecture’); …. but that doesnt work.
