    Hi, wanted a page named ‘galerie’ to show all posts from one category so I added this bit of logic to my page.php: 

    if (is_page('galerie')) {
 $galposts = get_posts('category=3');
 foreach($galposts as $post) :
    setup_postdata($post);
 ?>
 <h2><a>" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
 	<div class="thecontent"><?php the_content(); ?></div>
	<div class="postspace">	</div>
 	<?php endforeach; ?>
	</div>
	<?php
} else {

    However it shows only the last five (5) posts. Why? And what to do to make it show all!

  • Don’t know about get_posts, but the template tag, query_posts(), offers the parameter, posts_per_page=-1

    Here’s an example of how I usually make a list of posts for a certain category, without the_content. You can fiddle with it to suite your needs. This should show the category “Galerie” (case sensitive) and up to 99999999 posts.

    <div class="outterdiv">
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<h2>Galerie</h2>
<?php $temp_query = $wp_query; ?>
<?php query_posts('category_name=Galerie&showposts=99999999'); ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<ul><li class="style1"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li></ul>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php else : ?>
<h2 class="center">Not Found</h2>
<p class="center">Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.
<?php endif; ?>
</div>

    Ah, thanx a lot. Still very curious why my thing limited it to five posts, but jbrndt ‘s suggestion works. Thanx a lot!
    I’m using it as follows:

    <?php
if (is_page('galerie')) {
	query_posts('category_name=galerie&showposts=99999999'); ?>
	<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

		<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
		<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>">
					<?php the_title(); ?></a></h2><br />
					<div class="thecontent"><?php the_content(); ?></div>
					<div class="postspace">	</div>
		</div>
	<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php
} else { ...

    Does this suppose “next entries” and “previous entries” button?
