I am currently building a site for a church and I want on the main page to have a feed for services and a feed for events and display those both in separate feeds on the same page.
I know I can exclude categories from the loop and display them that way with something like this:
<?php if (in_category('1')) continue; ?>
But if the site grows to include more categories, it requires me updating that to cover the numbers of all categories it should exclude.
Is there a way to have it only display one instead of exclude one?
this topic says resolved, but here is the code i use to display 5 posts with dates in a bulleted list. just change the category and number of posts in line 1,
<?php $posts = get_posts( "category=2&numberposts=5" ); ?>
<?php if( $posts ) : ?>
<ul>
<?php foreach( $posts as $post ) : setup_postdata( $post ); ?>
<li>
<span class="date">
<?php the_time('F j'); ?>
</span>
<a href=<?php the_permalink() ?>>
<?php the_title(); ?>
</a>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>
This code isn't working - I'm getting all kinds of errors...
I know there's an extra > in there, but it's giving me issues with <?php foreach( $posts as $post ) : setup_postdata( $post ); ?> too.
I know there's extra spaces, but I don't know where... I wish people would just use the "code" feature and post the code properly and completely... *sigh*
Anyone help?
Edit: What I'm really looking to do here is display titles/links to the posts in one specific category on a page (along with other content). Short of making a page template for a cat archive I can't figure this one out. Linking to the cat archive alone won't work, because I need to have other content on this page...
the above code is working for me in WP2.3 ...so far.
