same problem here. Where do I find php.ini?

Thanks, exactly what I was looking for.

d’uh, never mind me, I was just being stupid, realized it was 100 times easier using get_category_link, I have no idea how I could miss that. sorry!

I resolved it by asking my host to install PHP 5, thanks anyway

I realized the time isn’t UTC, but probably the server’s time (located in the US). I don’t know if this makes any difference, but…

Hmm it seems I only have PHP 4.4.7 installed… I guess that’s the problem then?

Anybody knows any other way of changing the output from the echo date function?

Thanks, but I ended up resolving it another way.

Yes it does, it gives me the 5 latest postings (no matter category), so I guess it has to be “category” and not “cat” for get_posts.

I mean, there’s nothing malfunctioning with the code – it will give me all posts labelled “3”, but I want it to give me all posts labelled 3, 20, 21 etc, ie not just one category but several.

yeah, I just want the posts from category 3, and it’s sub-categories, ie. 20-32 to show up and I want exactly 5 posts, from those categories.

only using “category=3” would give me all posts from that category, I expect (only I don’t have any posts with that particular number right now as all posts are now subcategorized)

numberposts=5 gives me the latest 5 blog entries, irregardless of category.

I did try and change it to

<?php $posts = get_posts( "category=3,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32&numberposts=5" ); ?>

(20-32 being the sub-categories I want to include in the listing)

but it didn’t work either.

Resolved – apparently it’s only in Japanese IE it looks bad.

Actually, I found a plug-in to deal with the “autop”. (I swear, I was looking around for a long time before I posted, but it’s always like that – I’m never able to find the solution by myself until after I’ve posted here)

But I still have a problem – it seems the_category() doesn’t do quite what I want it to – I want it to JUST display the category name, not contain a link to it. I figured I could use the single_cat_title command but apparently it doesn’t work in the loop. Then I figured I could use category_description – but that doesn’t work inside the loop either.

So that leaves me with get_the_category, right? But I’m not entirely sure it can do what I want it to and I don’t quite get what kind of code I should use when I want something to be displayed. Any help would be much much appreciated!

anybody? it affects all ‘ on my site in IE, and looks really really bad.

Silly me, it DID work! Thanks a bunch!
