   I'm having trouble following the instructions here:

   http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/query_posts

   I want just one category to show up on my front page but I can't figure out where to put the query_posts tag. I tried putting it before the Loop, as stated in the instructions, but that didn't work.

   Any suggestions?

   TIA

   Well, everything is there - but if you cannot make it work for you, this http://wordpress.org/support/topic/49006#post-269672 was just posted recenly as an alternate solution.

   Here's where I put the query_posts tag, but it doesn't work:

   <?php query_posts('cat=1'); ?>
   <?php if ($posts) { ?>
   <?php foreach ($posts as $post) : start_wp(); ?>
   <?php require('post.php');?>
   <?php endforeach; ?>

   Can anyone spot what I did wrong in the code above?

   I use the following (in my not yet visible site in development).

   When I only want to show category 2:
   $wp_query->set('cat', '2');
   query_posts('');

   And then the loop starts:
   if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();

   And so on. Note: this will display posts that are in cat 2, but also posts that are also in cat 2.
