   I am attempting to create a page template that calls for just one category as opposed to calling all posts.

   Could someone advise on how to do this?

   Thanks.

   I am assuming that I need to add code somewhere in here?:

   <?php
   $temp = $wp_query;
   $wp_query= null;
   $wp_query = new WP_Query();
   $wp_query->query('showposts=5'.'&paged='.$paged);
   if ($wp_query->have_posts()) : while ($wp_query->have_posts()) : $wp_query->the_post();
   global $more; $more = 0;
   ?>
   
   		<h1><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
   		<p><?php the_time('F j, Y'); ?></p>
   
   <?php the_content(); ?>

   in your template file where you want to show it.

   I specifically want to call just one category, the code I posted calls all of the posts. What do I need to alter in the code I posted to call just, let's say, category 5 for instance?

   Thanks.

   $my_query = new WP_Query("showposts=1&category_name=News");

   or

   $my_query = new WP_Query("showposts=1&cat=5");
