   Hi.

   In the footer of every page I want to display the full content of a certain category.

   I've tried:
   

   <?php
           global $post;
           $myposts = get_posts('numberposts=4&category=3');
           foreach($myposts as $post) :
           ?>
           <ul>
   		<li><?php the_excerpt(); ?></li>
    	</ul>
           <?php endforeach; ?>

   but that just spits out the content from the main page.php

   Help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

   Does this work for you?

   <?php $posts = query_posts( 'showposts=4&cat=3' ); ?>
   <?php if( $posts ) : ?> 
   
   <?php foreach( $posts as $post ) : setup_postdata( $post ); ?> 
   
   <?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry &raquo;'); ?>
   
   <?php endforeach; ?> 
   
   <?php endif; ?>

   Hmm, that somehow breaks the entire page, empty?

   http://dustybrush.net/onecall/onenumber-priser/

   <?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry &raquo;'); ?>

   I dont want any links, just display the posts of cat 3 in their entirety - if that's at all doable. I am setting up a cms for a client and I want them to be able to edit the footer content, which is divided into 4 parts horizontally (unordered list). Posts in the footer would be category "footer" (id 3).

   Thanks for the super fast reply! :)

   I know you didn't want any links in the cat 3 posts in the footer but I've got this code to work in my site now.

   <?php $posts = query_posts( 'showposts=4&cat=3' ); ?>
   <?php if( $posts ) : ?>
    <?php foreach( $posts as $post ) : setup_postdata( $post ); ?>
   <div class="entry"> ***REPLACE THIS WITH YOUR OWN CLASS FOR ENTRIES***
   <?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry &raquo;'); ?>
   </div>
   <?php endforeach; ?>
   <?php endif; ?>

   thanks again,

   its still a bit strange. still breaks the site and leaves it empty

   here's my footer.php:

   <div class="kolo">
   
   <?php $posts = query_posts( 'showposts=4&cat=3' ); ?>
   <?php if( $posts ) : ?>
    <?php foreach( $posts as $post ) : setup_postdata( $post ); ?>
   <div class="entry"> ***REPLACE THIS WITH YOUR OWN CLASS FOR ENTRIES***
   <?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry &raquo;'); ?>
   </div>
   <?php endforeach; ?>
   <?php endif; ?>
   
       <div class="FooterWide">
   		<?php bloginfo('name'); ?> powered by <a href="http://wordpress.org/">WordPress</a> | <a href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>">Entries (RSS)</a> | <!-- <?php echo get_num_queries(); ?> queries. <?php timer_stop(1); ?> seconds. -->Denne side blev genereret p&aring; <?php timer_stop(1); ?> sekunder | Design Sebastian Larsen
   	</div>
   
   	</div>
      </div>
   
   <?php wp_footer(); ?>
   </body>
   </html>

   I am stumped.

   Well, here's mine for what it's worth...

   <div id="footer">
   <?php wp_footer(); ?>
   
   <?php $posts = query_posts( 'showposts=4&cat=106' ); ?>
   <?php if( $posts ) : ?>
    <?php foreach( $posts as $post ) : setup_postdata( $post ); ?>
   <div class="entry">
   <?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry &raquo;'); ?>
   </div>
   
   <?php endforeach; ?>
   <?php endif; ?>  
   
   			<div class="padding">
   				My own footer content is here
   			</div>
   		</div>

   I'm using a edited version of the 'Sunrise' theme to test this instead of my usual theme. I will leave the test theme active for half an hour to give you chance to see it working.

   ok thanks.

   it does works for you. This is really bizarre.

   I'll test on page.php a bit later to see if that makes a difference. Right now, I am having a slight fever, need to lie down for an hour :)

   same thing in page.php.

   the code breaks the entire site and leaves it blank. No source code, no nothing :-/

    solved it, using Guff's get-a-post plugin.
