   Hi!
   I'm making a template for one of my pages.
   I want to display the latest post in a specific category on this page.

   I found a code that works on the index-page. If I replace the regular loop with the code below, it works great with the latest post.
   

   <?php $wp_query->is_single = true; ?>
   
       <?php $post_count = 0; ?>
   
       <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>    
   
           <?php if ($post_count == 0) : ?>
   
               <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
   	<?php the_content(''); ?>
   
           <?php $post_count++; ?>
   
       <?php endif; ?>
   
   <?php endwhile; endif; ?>

   However it doesn't work if I make a template of it and use it on one of the pages.

   So I was wondering how to make this work on an other page than the index/home. And how to make it work on a specific post-category.
