Limit list of post titles to single catgegory?

    I’m using this code on a custom template to display a list of post titles:

    <ul class="category-list">
<?php
// we add this, to show all posts in our
// Glossary sorted alphabetically
$args = array( 'posts_per_page' => -1, 'orderby'=> 'title', 'order' => 'ASC' );
$glossaryposts = get_posts( $args );
// here comes The Loop!
foreach( $glossaryposts as $post ) :	setup_postdata($post);  ?>
<li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>

    This works nicely, however I want to limit my list to a certain category. I’ve found other solutions for doing this, but not one that works with the code I currently have. How can I modify this to limit my list to a specific category?

  • Hi, to get a list of posts in a specific category you can specify the category ID in your $args array, try this

    $args = array( 'posts_per_page' => -1, 'category'=> 1, 'orderby'=> 'title', 'order' => 'ASC' );

    where you should replace
    ‘category’=> 1
    with
    ‘category’=> ID_of_your_category

    Here’s an example with the complete list of parameters that you can use in the $args array

    <?php $args = array(
	'posts_per_page'   => 5,
	'offset'           => 0,
	'category'         => '',
	'category_name'    => '',
	'orderby'          => 'date',
	'order'            => 'DESC',
	'include'          => '',
	'exclude'          => '',
	'meta_key'         => '',
	'meta_value'       => '',
	'post_type'        => 'post',
	'post_mime_type'   => '',
	'post_parent'      => '',
	'author'	   => '',
	'post_status'      => 'publish',
	'suppress_filters' => true
);
$posts_array = get_posts( $args ); ?>
