New Posts – Display From Specific Category

query_posts(‘category_name=Staff Home’);

or you can use the ID.

Thanks for trying to help, I appreciate the effort, but that’s not enough information.

Here is a sample page.

You will see in the sidebar their are 2 sections. I need to be able to have posts from their respective categories to appear.

I tried this:

<ul>

<?php query_posts("category_id=6&orderby=desc&showposts=4"); ?>

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<li><?php the_time('F j, Y'); ?><br /><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>

<?php endwhile; ?>

</ul>

It made the actual page content wonky. It is displaying a post rather then the page content.

First. You can call the category by cat=6 rather than category_id=6.

If you are doing additional queries beyond the main loop on the page then you can use this:

<?php
$latestPosts = new WP_Query();
$latestPosts->query('cat=6&showposts=4');
while ($latestPosts->have_posts()) : $latestPosts->the_post();
?>
...do your li display thing here...
<?php endwhile; ?>

…and then a second time for the next loop.

You, my dear, are brilliant! Assistance on these forums is usually non-existent, so your help is much appreciated! I’m definitely no PHP expert. ??

Your welcome. I “wish” I was brilliant!

What about links?

Tried this and was unsuccessful:

<ul>

			<?php
				$bookmarks = new WP_Query();
				$bookmarks->query('cat=15');
				$bookmarks = get_bookmarks("cat=15");
				if ($bookmarks[0] != '') { ?>

				<?php
				foreach ( $bookmarks as $bookmark ) {
				?>

			<li><a href="<?php echo clean_url($bookmark->link_url); ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>" target="_blank"><?php echo $bookmark->link_name; ?></a></li>

			<?php endwhile; ?>

			</ul>

Nevermind! Got it worked out! ??

Looks like there’s a mistake in codex.
