That's what is working for me. On another note, is there a way to reverse the order of the list? from oldest to newest?

I've tried using the custom query plugin but it doesn't seem to actually limit to a specific category, despite what the plugin author says. I basically would like to show 2 or 3 posts (title and content) from a specific category on my homepage. I've also looked at various randomizing plugins, but they don't allow me to choose the specific category. help greatly appreciated!

I did what you listed here and it works perfectly. I was banging my head trying to go through the documentation trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. I'm so thankful I came across your answer here! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Lisa B. minter on "List post titles in a certain category" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/69799#post-533930 Tue, 20 Mar 2007 01:54:46 +0000 minter 533930@http://wordpress.org/support/ I've used this code in a sidebar, and am getting odd results. While I'm getting an li entry for each post in the category I've chosen, the title and link are for the most recent post on the front page. It seems like the setup_postdata isn't taking the variable defined in the foreach, instead getting the other post. Thoughts? Here's the code: <pre><code><ul><li><h2>IE Missions</h2> <ul> <?php $mission_posts = get_posts('category=6&numberposts=-1'); foreach($mission_posts as $mypost) : setup_postdata($mypost); ?> <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permalink to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li> <?php endforeach; ?> </ul> </li></ul></code></pre> thopunk on "List post titles in a certain category" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/69799#post-526042 Sun, 04 Mar 2007 01:26:26 +0000 thopunk 526042@http://wordpress.org/support/ how can i sort this code from OLDEST to NEWEST.

Kafkaesqui on "List post titles in a certain category" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/69799#post-453638 Tue, 03 Oct 2006 02:35:55 +0000 Kafkaesqui 453638@http://wordpress.org/support/ Federico, <code>$cat</code> is a global variable in WordPress which holds the current category ID -- on a category query/page. So: <code>get_posts("category=$cat&numberposts=-1");</code> should do what you're after. chinaski on "List post titles in a certain category" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/69799#post-453635 Tue, 03 Oct 2006 02:25:06 +0000 chinaski 453635@http://wordpress.org/support/ I was searching in the WP support for help in listing post titles in a category and found this wonderfull tip. Tested and works like a charm. However, my only question is, how to replace "a particular category" for "the current category"? get_posts('category=10&numberposts=-1'); foreach($photog_posts as $post) : setup_postdata($post); this line gets post for the category #10, but what I need is to get posts for the current category, because i'm using it in the archive.php general template. thanx in advance.

So, I must just be doing something wrong. And I guess I'll have to keep poking at it. I do appreciate your help. katiebird on "List post titles in a certain category" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/69799#post-375545 Mon, 08 May 2006 02:27:54 +0000 katiebird 375545@http://wordpress.org/support/ "Which means, you should use the code above, and before posting theoretical questions you can always test it ;)" I did. I tested all 3 examples and poked around for a couple of hours trying to get them to work before posting my question. And also tried a couple of alternative samples too. I guess I should have said that explicitly. But the fact is I've never asked a question without trying to solve the problem myself. ;) moshu on "List post titles in a certain category" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/69799#post-375380 Sun, 07 May 2006 18:56:30 +0000 moshu 375380@http://wordpress.org/support/ You are mixing two very different things... What is commonly known as "permalinks" - more exactly the "nice permalinks" - has nothing to do with the template tag called the_permalink. Using the template tag (see details here: <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_permalink" rel="nofollow">http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_permalink</a> ) is just a way to tell the WP engine to take you to the "single post view" of that post. Whether the 'visible' permanent link to that single post has a form in your address bar like: example.com/?p=123 or example.com/archive/this-is-my-post ..is completely irrelevant. Which means, you should use the code above, and before posting theoretical questions you can always test it ;) katiebird on "List post titles in a certain category" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/69799#post-375341 Sun, 07 May 2006 16:37:00 +0000 katiebird 375341@http://wordpress.org/support/ Hi, I'm interested in something very similar to this. I am currently maintaining pages that list links to each article in a particular category. These are 'special categories' that lots of my visitors like to check regularly. And I don't want the whole post listed on the page -- just the title with a link to the article. But, I don't have permalinks enabled (I'm afraid of destroying my site by attempting it.) So, I don't think these solutions work for me (or I'm doing something else wrong?) Is there a way to implement a list like this by using something besides the permalink? Or possibly a permalinks for dummies instruction sheet :) If they are absolutely required?? Any help would be wildly appreciated. wynderlon on "List post titles in a certain category" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/69799#post-367321 Sat, 22 Apr 2006 04:36:43 +0000 wynderlon 367321@http://wordpress.org/support/ Perfect, thanks! I was just missing a few odds and ends in the code. :) Kafkaesqui on "List post titles in a certain category" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/69799#post-367175 Fri, 21 Apr 2006 19:59:50 +0000 Kafkaesqui 367175@http://wordpress.org/support/ In a list: <code><ul><li><h2>Photography</h2> <ul> <?php query_posts('category_name=Photography&showposts=-1'); while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permalink to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li> <?php endwhile; ?> </ul> </li></ul></code> Reference: <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/query_posts" rel="nofollow">http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/query_posts</a> It's possible this might cause conflicts with an existing post loop on the page, so this is an alternative: <code><ul><li><h2>Photography</h2> <ul> <?php $photog_posts = new WP_Query('category_name=Photography&showposts=-1'); while($photog_posts->have_posts()) : $photog_posts->the_post(); ?> <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permalink to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li> <?php endwhile; ?> </ul> </li></ul></code> Reference: <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/WP_Query" rel="nofollow">http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/WP_Query</a> And one more option (assumes "Photography" has the category ID <code>10</code>): <code><ul><li><h2>Photography</h2> <ul> <?php $photog_posts = get_posts('category=10&numberposts=-1'); foreach($photog_posts as $post) : setup_postdata($post); ?> <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permalink to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li> <?php endforeach; ?> </ul> </li></ul></code> Reference: <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts" rel="nofollow">http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts</a> Options, baby... wynderlon on "List post titles in a certain category" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/69799#post-367161 Fri, 21 Apr 2006 19:35:52 +0000 wynderlon 367161@http://wordpress.org/support/ I think I'm going blind, because I cannot find the answer to this and yet it seems fairly simple. In my sidebar, I want to make a "Photography" sub-header, then underneath it list all the titles of the posts within the "Photography" category. Is there a way to do this? Thanks. :)
