List all posts in selected categories

Did you try to create a page of posts with multiple loops?

Thank you. Yes I was thinking that. Maybe I need a ‘for each’ loop so that:

for each category, list all posts

Is that possible?

Thanks for your time David

I almost have it:

1 <?php query_posts(‘category_id=4,3’); ?>
2 <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
3 <?php the_category(‘, ‘) ?>
4 <? the_title(); ?>
5 <? the_content(); ?>
6 <?php endwhile; ?>

I just need to loop lines 3 to 5

This is just raw testing so please disregard the formatting.

Yes make the page of posts in one category first.

Then dupe it for a second third, fourth, like so…

<?php $my_first_category_query = new WP_Query('category_name=my_first_category'); ?>

<?php while ($my_first_category_query->have_posts()) : $my_first_category_query->the_post(); ?>
  <!-- Do special_cat stuff... -->
<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php $my_second_category_query = new WP_Query('category_name=my_second_category'); ?>

<?php while ($my_second_category_query->have_posts()) : $my_second_category_query->the_post(); ?>
  <!-- Do special_cat stuff... -->
<?php endwhile; ?>

and so on.

You don’t want to query_posts, what you where after in the original post needs a new WP_Query.

1 <?php   $my_query4 = new WP_Query('cat=4'); ?>
2 <?php if( $my_query4->have_posts() ) :
3 <?php echo 'My Category 4'; ?>
4 <?php while ($my_query4->have_posts()) : $my_query4->the_post(); ?>
5 <? the_title(); ?>
6 <? the_content(); ?>
7 <?php endwhile; ?>
8 <?php endif; ?>

then

1 <?php   $my_query3 = new WP_Query('cat=3'); ?>
2 <?php if( $my_query3->have_posts() ) :
3 <?php echo 'My Category 3'; ?>
4 <?php while ($my_query3->have_posts()) : $my_query3->the_post(); ?>
5 <? the_title(); ?>
6 <? the_content(); ?>
7 <?php endwhile; ?>
8 <?php endif; ?>

and so on

Oh I see, yep that works well. Thank you David. I learnt something today. Nice.
