Show selected posts

  • Hello,

    I’m wondering if someone could help me with showing selected posts on my frontpage. I have no experience using php, css, html or what so ever, but I’m busy learning for about 5 hours per day now. I learned a lot, but I still can’t figure out how I can show the posts that I want on my frontpage.

    My theme automatically show the thumbs (featured image) of a new made post on te frontpage. It was easy to switch from random selected posts to ‘sort by latest post’ but now I want to show only the posts from a specific category.

    Category name = 1 in this case.
    Here is my current code, which doesn’t work;

    I tried several different types of codes like;
    ‘category’ => 1
    ‘cat=1’
    ‘category_name=1’

    None of them work and I keep seeing the 5 most recent posts from all the categories I have.

    I also see that my template uses ‘showposts’ for the amount of postthumbs I want to see, but in all tutorials I came across the term was ‘numberposts’ which in my tepmplate doesn’t work.

    Please help ??
