   I am trying to display posts from a certain category on a page, but I'm having a hard time getting query_posts to listen to me. It keeps displaying posts from every category instead of the one I have specified.

   I also tried using the LIST CATEGORY POSTS plugin and I get the same result. Posts from every category show up, instead of just the one category I have specified.

   Here is the code I am using (when I'm not using the plugin, of course). Any ideas?

   <?php
   /*
   Template Name: Books
   */
   ?>
   
   <?php get_header(); ?>
   
   	<div id="content_box">
   
   		<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/l_sidebar.php'); ?>
   
   		<div id="content" class="pages">
   
   			<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
   			<div class="entry">
   
   			<h3>2009 Winter</h3>
   			<?php query_posts('cat=55'.'&order=ASC'); ?>
   
   			<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
      			<ul>
   			<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
   			</ul>
     			<?php endwhile;?>
   
   			<h3>2009 Spring</h3>
   			<?php query_posts('cat=7'.'&order=ASC'); ?>
   
   			<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
      			<ul>
   			<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
   			</ul>
     			<?php endwhile;?>
   
   			<h3>2009 Summer</h3>
   			<?php query_posts('cat=7'.'&order=ASC'); ?>
   
   			<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
      			<ul>
   			<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
   			</ul>
     			<?php endwhile;?>
   
   			<h3>2009 Fall</h3>
   			<?php query_posts('cat=9'.'&order=ASC'); ?>
   
   			<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
      			<ul>
   			<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
   			</ul>
     			<?php endwhile;?>
   
   			<h3>2010 Winter</h3>
   			<?php query_posts('cat=59'.'&order=ASC'); ?>
   
   			<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
      			<ul>
   			<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
   			</ul>
     			<?php endwhile;?>
   
   			<h3>2010 Spring</h3>
   			<?php query_posts('cat=56'.'&order=ASC'); ?>
   
   			<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
      			<ul>
   			<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
   			</ul>
     			<?php endwhile;?>
   
   			<h3>2010 Summer</h3>
   			<?php query_posts('cat=57'.'&order=ASC'); ?>
   
   			<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

   			<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
   			</ul>
     			<?php endwhile;?>
   
   </div>
   			<div class="clear rule"></div>
   
   			<div class="clear"></div>	
   
   		</div>
   
   		<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/r_sidebar.php'); ?>
   
   	</div>
   
   <?php get_footer(); ?>

   I am also using a template page to pull a specific category, it should work with multiple queries as well.

   The statement I use for the query is

   <?php if(have_posts()) : ?>
   <?php if (is_page()) {
         query_posts("cat=23");
      }
   ?>
   
   <?php while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

   Hope this helps.
