if my memory serves right…
$category_sql = 'select * from wp_content order by post_category';
$category_result = mysql_query($category_sql);
I think that is along the general lines of what your asking… thats just a basic framework of the code… should query the data base on field wp_content and order the search by post_comment. From there its just a matter of righting the code to obtain which category to work from, that should help with your coagulation.

Hmmm. That’s what I remember as well. The last release I downloaded has wp_posts (no wp_content), and post_category number there is always showing up as 0 on every post. Posts on the test site are clearly in “news” or “testimonials” categories. I’ll keep digging. Let me know if additional thoughts come up. Thanks much. 🙂
Here’s what worked for me. It makes sense as a post can be in multiple categories:
SELECT * FROM wp_posts p LEFT OUTER JOIN wp_term_relationships r ON r.object_id = p.ID LEFT OUTER JOIN wp_terms t ON t.term_id = r.term_taxonomy_id WHERE p.post_status = 'publish' AND p.post_type = 'post' AND t.slug = 'news'
Well you got it working and posted what works 🙂 Helps everyone.
SELECT * FROM wp_posts p LEFT OUTER JOIN wp_term_relationships r ON r.object_id = p.ID LEFT OUTER JOIN wp_terms t ON t.term_id = r.term_taxonomy_id WHERE p.post_status = ‘publish’ AND p.post_type = ‘post’ AND t.slug = ‘news’
this code seems to work but doesn’t post only live posts, it also shows posts that are scheduled before they’re supposed to be live. anyone else see this?
