   Not sure if this is something to do with 2.6 beta 1 or if it's just a coincidence that this problem started just after I upgraded my installation.

   I have a page template (see code below) to show posts from category '8' which worked fine before, but now it seems to be showing posts from all categories. (live page at http://www.daleanthony.com/portfolio/)

   If this isn't a bug and it's just me being silly I would appreciate it if someone could offer some advice on how to fix this problem.

   <?php get_header(); ?>
   
   			<div id="content-container-wide">
   
   			<ul class="portfolioul">
   		 	<?php global $post; $myposts = get_posts('numberposts=9&offset=0&category=8'); foreach($myposts as $post) : setup_postdata($post); ?>
   
   				<li>
   				<img src="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "port-thumb", true); ?>" alt="<?php the_title(); ?> - Thumbnail"/>
   				<span class="portfolio-title"><?php the_title(); ?></span>
   				<span class="portfolio-work"><?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "port-project", true); ?></span>
   				<div class="portfolio-description"><?php the_content(''); ?></div>
   				</li>
   
   		 	<?php endforeach; ?>
   			</ul>
   		</div>
   
   		<div id="content-footer-wide"></div>
   
   </div>
   
   	<?php get_footer(); ?>

   Cheers.

   Erm, I got a feeling that method of retrieving post is quite backdated. Correct me if I am wrong. You should use query_post() instead.

   @GamerZ thanks for the pointer, not quite sure how to get the template working with query_post though. It looks a bit more complicated than get_posts.

   Any possibility someone could spare me 5 minutes to help re-write my portfolio page with query_posts? I've confused myself with it.

   <?php get_header(); ?>
   <div id="content-container-wide">
   	<ul class="portfolioul">
   <?php
   	query_posts('showposts=9&offset=0&cat=8');
   	while (have_posts()) : the_post();
   ?>
   
   <li>
   			<img src="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "port-thumb", true); ?>" alt="<?php the_title(); ?> - Thumbnail"/>
   			<span class="portfolio-title"><?php the_title(); ?></span>
   			<span class="portfolio-work"><?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "port-project", true); ?></span>
   			<div class="portfolio-description"><?php the_content(''); ?></div>
   		</li>
   <?php endwhile; ?>
   
   </div>
   <div id="content-footer-wide"></div>
   </div>
   <?php get_footer(); ?>

   The code is untested =D

   @GamerZ Thanks for the help... I tried the code but it didn't work, played around with some of my wordpress settings and realised that a plugin was causing the problem which is probably why I couldnt get it working myself.

   Thanks again though!
