Hi
I have created a page template for my news page which will show posts from the 'news' category. After that I assigned the template to the news page from the 'edit page' menu.
The problem is that on clicking previous posts, the posts stay there.
<?php
/*
Template Name: News
*/
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div style="margin-top:20px;"></div>
<?php
$style_classes = array('news1','news2','news3','news4','news5','news6','news7','news8','news9','news10');
$styles_count = count($style_classes);
$style_index = 0;
?>
<?php query_posts("cat=17&showposts=10"); ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('« Older Entries') ?></div>
<div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Newer Entries »') ?></div>
<br style="clear: both;" />
<br style="clear: both;" />
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="news_post <?php $k = $style_index % $styles_count; echo "$style_classes[$k]"; ?>" style="background-color:#0F9;">
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">
<img src="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "news", true);?>" alt="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>" />
</a>
<div class="news_date"><?php the_time('d M'); ?></div>
<div class="news_heading <?php $k = $style_index % $styles_count; echo "heading-$style_classes[$k]"; $style_index++; ?>">
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
</div>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<br style="clear: both;" />
<div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('« Older Entries') ?></div>
<div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Newer Entries »') ?></div>
<br style="clear: both;" />
<?php else : ?>
