Display post category on page based on page name

    Basically, if I have a page titled “Design”, I want some page content followed by the most recent post in the category “Design”. For the a page titled “Web”, I want the most recent post from the category “Web” and so on.

    I tried this solution:
    <?php query_posts('category_name='.get_the_title().'&post_status=publish,future');?>

    from this forum: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/display-the-posts-of-one-category-in-a-page-solved?replies=37

    But it doesn’t seem to work for me. Does anyone have any simple way to call in the Page Title into the Post Loop? New to PHP and www.ads-software.com, and excited about what it can do.

  • The ‘category_name’ parameter uses the slug, not the name. Try this:

    <?php query_posts('category_name='.sanitize_title(get_the_title()).'&post_status=publish,future');?>

    I ended up using this code, just before I call the loop, and it works great! Thanks.

    <?php query_posts( array( 'category_name' => get_the_title(), 'posts_per_page' => 1 ) ); ?>
