Try <?php if (is_home()) query_posts('category_name=Headline');?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php if(is_front_page()) query_posts('showposts=1&category_name=Headline'); ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
PS; got beaten by 45sec 😉
I’m still trying to figure out the distinction between is_home() and is_front_page() with recent versions of WP. The Codex seems rather confused on the subject. I know there was a definite distinction once (around v2.5?) but now…?
That IT!! Thanks a million
Can you be more specific about where you need to put that code? I would like to pull the posts from a specific category “id 13” and have it display on a specific page. Here is the code for my page.php
<?php
/* Arclite/digitalnature */
get_header();
?>
<!-- main wrappers -->
<div id="main-wrap1">
<div id="main-wrap2">
<!-- main page block -->
<div id="main" class="block-content">
<div class="mask-main rightdiv">
<div class="mask-left">
<!-- first column -->
<div class="col1">
<div id="main-content">
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php if (function_exists("post_class")) post_class(); else print 'class="post"'; ?>>
<?php if (!get_post_meta($post->ID, 'hide_title', true)): ?><h2 class="post-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h2><?php endif; ?>
<div class="post-content clearfix">
<?php the_content(__('Read the rest of this page »', 'arclite')); ?>
<?php wp_link_pages(array('before' => '<p><strong>Pages:</strong> ', 'after' => '</p>', 'next_or_number' => 'number')); ?>
<?php edit_post_link(__('Edit this entry', 'arclite')); ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
<?php
$post_count=get_post_meta($post->ID, 'post_count', true);
$post_categories=get_post_meta($post->ID, 'show_posts_from_category', true);
$post_tags=get_post_meta($post->ID, 'show_posts_with_tags', true);
if (($post_categories) || ($post_tags)):
$customfield_query = new WP_Query('postcount'.$post_count.'&cat='.$post_categories.'&tag='.$post_tags);
while ($customfield_query->have_posts()) : $customfield_query->the_post(); ?>
<!-- post -->
<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php if (function_exists("post_class")) post_class(); else print 'class="post"'; ?>>
<div class="post-header">
<h3 class="post-title"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php _e('Permanent Link:','arclite'); echo ' '; the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>

?> | <?php comments_popup_link(__('No Comments', 'arclite'), __('1 Comment', 'arclite'), __('% Comments', 'arclite'), 'comments', __('Comments off', 'arclite')); ?> <?php edit_post_link(__('Edit','arclite'),' | '); ?>
</span>
</p>
</div>
<div class="post-content clearfix">
<?php if(get_option('arclite_indexposts')=='excerpt') the_excerpt(); else the_content(__('Read the rest of this entry »', 'arclite')); ?>
<?php
$posttags = get_the_tags();
if ($posttags) { ?>
<p class="tags"> <?php the_tags(__('Tags:','arclite').' ', ', ', ''); ?></p>
<?php } ?>
</div>
</div>
<!-- /post -->
<?php
endwhile;
endif;
?>
<?php comments_template(); ?>
</div>
</div>
<!-- /first column -->
<?php
if(!is_page_template('page-nosidebar.php')):
get_sidebar();
include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/sidebar-secondary.php');
endif;
?>
</div>
</div>
<div class="clear-content"></div>
</div>
<!-- /main page block -->

</div>
<!-- /main wrappers -->
<?php get_footer(); ?>
Thanks
