	<?php $photoGal = new WP_Query();$photoGal->query('cat=1&showposts=6'); ?>
	<?php while ($photoGal->have_posts()) : $photoGal->the_post(); ?>
	<li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><img src="<?php viva('NpAdvMainPGThumb','8'); ?>" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" /></a><p><p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>

  • Try using category__not_in?

    I also noticed that in one of the examples from the Codex page below:

    query_posts(array('category__in' => array(2,6)));

    it says:

    note this does not show posts from any children of these categories

    which might be useful…

    i am not able to understand that as i amnew to this

    Go to the page I gave above. It provides simple code examples.

    Hi esmi! Please help me understand why category__in and category__not_in doesnt exclude my child category from loop. I’m try to use this code.

    <?php
    $limit = 6;
    query_posts(array('category__in' =>array(5),'posts_per_page'=>$limit));
    if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
    ?>

    <!---stuff here-->

    <?php endwhile; ?>
    <?php endif; ?>

    Thank you!

    ooopps. All working is fine with category__not_in but some posts that not in category 5 exclude too. I dont understand why?
