ok found the answer….basically I used the WP_Query where I can set my own query without effecting other pages. I done this for the index.php using this code:

<?php
    $selectedPosts = new WP_Query();
    $selectedPosts->query('cat=-1&showposts=10');
?>

<?php while ($selectedPosts->have_posts()) : $selectedPosts->the_post(); ?>

I define a variable and set what I want to show and exclude. I used this for all 3 sections of the website that show certain posts from certain categories.

I then use the normal Loop in the single.php and IT WORKED!!! Thank GOD!!

There are plugins that does this for you…. you can find those on a lot of sites….here’s a few:

https://wp-plugins.net/beta/
https://dev.wp-plugins.org/wiki/PluginDirectory

But isn’t what you’re looking for is similar to recent posts….I would use query_posts php code to get posts from a particular category so whenever you post something to that category, it will show up.

Hope this helped ??

oh and I found a post here about stopping query_posts

sorry if I am not helping…but how did you do your single.php…I have a problem where I use 3 query_posts in the header.php to call 3 different category posts….but when I click on a post, it doesn’t show…my single.php is an exact duplicate of index.php which I think does not make sense to me because I am calling specific category posts, but this should not apply to single.php as it is supposed to only show the selected post.

hope u understood my problem…thanx in advance ??

do you have the latest wordpress version?….if you do…you should see it

you see the 3 loops are in the header.php so it is seperated…which makes the single.php file have only one query_post

maybe open the wp-config.php and change the details there…this file has the details of the database connection like username and password

you see you can import your new database through Manage -> Import -> WordPress…then Browse for the file

Hope this helped

am having a similar problem…..I have 3 sections of my website that use the query_posts:

<?php $posts = query_posts( "cat=8&showposts=1"); ?> <?php if( $posts ) : ?>

<?php foreach( $posts as $post ) : setup_postdata( $post ); ?>

what I needed appears on the front page. I also use it for my index.php to exclude categories that I don’t want to show, the problem is, how do I create my single.php

I tried copying everything in index.php and pasting it into single.php, but nothing happens. I have put <?php wp_reset_query(); ?> at the end of all the 3 sections….nothing ??

any helps would be appreciated..thanx in advance

<?php next_posts_link(‘« Previous Entries’); ?>
<?php previous_posts_link(‘Next Entries »’); ?>

i don’t know why, but the bold highlight didn’t work….jus ignore the for the ;

soz lol

I think you’re missing the “;” after the closing brackets.

Corrected code:

<?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Previous Entries')<strong>;</strong> ?>
<?php previous_posts_link('Next Entries &raquo;')<strong>;</strong> ?>

Thanx, i’ve put the ul tags and it worked, but the blogroll links are displayed with their title. I want to hide this because I have already put the title as “Friends” manually in the DIVs of this menu.

Is there a way to hide the title leaving the list alone?

Thanx in advance

Thanx for that, now the list links are now have no style just like the other ones. My menu is in:

<div id=”menu”></div>

I have styled the #menu ul li in the css stylesheet, but no style is applied to this list. Another problem is that the blogroll which is <?php wp_list_bookmarks(‘title_li=’); ?> is not working.

Any suggestions…thanx in advance
