Hi iv.dimova, thank you for all your help. Finally I got everything working.

thanks again

Ed

PS I’ve added a code to change the size of the excerpt and it works!

I’ve put the: <?php the_content();?> it’s showing the whole post I only want to be able to show 4 to 6 lines of the actual content.

Ed

sorry I was getting an infinite loop, now I’ve put the code below everything and now is loading properly.

I only want to show the title and 4 to 6 lines of text. how do I do that?

thanks again

Ed

Don’t worry I got it going now.

thank you

Ed

Ed

PS Why not come to Peru and Brazil? let me know if ever come this way.

I’m getting syntax error:

this what I’m adding to my template:

hp query_posts(array(
‘showposts’ => 6,
‘orderby’ => ‘rand’,
‘category_name’ => ‘new’ //You can insert any category name
));
if (have_posts()) : ?>

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

Ed

If you ever come to Peru I’ll treat you to Machu Picchu! thank you so much for your help.

I’m going to try right now.

Hi iv, I don’t know if I was clear enough. All I need is to be able to create a post and at the footer of the post have an excerpt from another post like in this example:

Jorge Win the Loterry (Title)

description:
asd asd as as d asd a sd as d as d asd a sdadada as d a
aasd a sd a sd a sd a da sd asd adadsas
asdasd asd aasd a sd a sd a sd a da sd asd adadsas
asdasd asdaasd a sd a sd a sd a da sd asd adadsas
asdasd asd

here at the end of the post have an excerpt from another post:

Breaking News:
The palace was hit today (title excerpt)

description excerpt, no more then 4 lines

Actually what I need is as follows, I want o be able to create a post and at the bottom of the port I want put let’s say 3 categories.

thank you for your help.

Ed

Thank you for answering, Where do I put endwhile and endif?

I need this to display right before the footer.

This my actual template:

* moved to theme root from contents folder @since version 2.6
*
*/
global $ttso;

<div class=”main-area<?php if($show_tools_panel == ‘false’) {echo ‘ utility-area’;}?>”>
<?php
/*
* Check to display or hide tools panel
* @since version 2.6 development
*/
if($show_tools_panel != ‘false’):
?>
<?php $ka_searchbar = get_option(‘ka_searchbar’);
$ka_crumbs = get_option(‘ka_crumbs’); ?>

<div class=”tools”>
<div class=”holder”>
<div class=”frame”>

<?php truethemes_before_article_title_hook();// action hook, see truethemes_framework/global/hooks.php ?>

<?php if ( get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘_pagetitle_value’, true) ) { ?>
<h1><?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, “_pagetitle_value”, $single = true); ?></h1><?php }else { ?>
<h1><?php if(have_posts()) : while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?><?php if(!is_attachment()){the_title();} ?><?php endwhile; endif; ?></h1><?php } ?>
<?php if ($ka_searchbar == “true”){get_template_part(‘searchform’,’childtheme’);} ?>
<?php if ($ka_crumbs == “true”){ ?><?php $bc = new simple_breadcrumb; ?><?php } ?>

<?php truethemes_after_searchform_hook();// action hook, see truethemes_framework/global/hooks.php ?>

</div><!– end frame –>
</div><!– end holder –>
</div><!– end tools –>
<?php endif; ?>
