   I'm using my category.php to select the post title "home" in the current category.

   <?php
   $currentcat = the_category_ID();
   $query = 'cat=' . $currentcat . '&name=home&showposts=1';
   ?>
   
   <?php query_posts($query); ?>
   <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   <?php the_title(); ?>
   <?php the_content(); ?>
   <?php endwhile; ?>
   ?>

   However, this seems to select the latest post from any category titled home. Echoing $currentcat returns the correct category ID.

   Any help appreciated.

   Try this instead:
   

   <?php
   $cat = get_query_var('cat');
   query_posts("cat=$cat&name=home&showposts=1");
   ?>
   
   <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   <?php the_title(); ?>
   <?php the_content(); ?>
   <?php endwhile; ?>

   Hi there, thanks for the response.

   Unfortunately that's displaying the same post in both categories.

   I have "Home" posted in General (for example) and "Home" posted in News.

   Going to site/home/ displays the "Home" post in General, and going to site/news/ displays the "Home" post in General too.
