    Hi all,

    I am trying to display all posts in a specific category (ID6) on a newly created page (ID7), but I am having trouble. So far I have tried to add a new WP_query to a copy of the page template underneath the the_content(); call. However that deos not work.

    Does anyone have any suggestion on how I can achieve this to maintain the ease of editing the page that this template is linked to?

    Thanks,
    Sebastian

    <?php
/*
Template Name: Staff
*/
?>

<?php get_header() ?>

	<div id="container">
		<div id="content">

<?php the_post() ?>

			<div id="post-<?php the_ID() ?>" class="<?php sandbox_post_class() ?>">
				<h2 class="entry-title"><?php the_title() ?></h2>
				<div class="entry-content">
<?php the_content() ?>
<!-- Display the staff posts -->
<?php
	$thestaff = new WP_Query();
	$thestaff->query('category_name=Staff&showposts=-1');
	while($thestaff->have_posts()) : $thestaff->the_post();
?>

		<div class="thepost">
		<h4><?php the_title(); ?></h4>

		<div class="theentry">
			<?php the_content('<br />Read complete article'); ?>
		</div>
	</div>

<?php endwhile; ?>
<!-- End staff posts -->
<?php wp_link_pages('before=<div id="page-links">'.'Pages: '.'&after=</div>&next_or_number=next&nextpagelink=Next Page&previouspagelink=Earlier'); ?>

<?php edit_post_link( __( 'Edit', 'sandbox' ), '<span class="edit-link">', '</span>' ) ?>

				</div>
			</div><!-- .post -->

<?php if ( get_post_custom_values('comments') ) comments_template() // Add a key+value of "comments" to enable comments on this page ?>

		</div><!-- #content -->
	</div><!-- #container -->

<?php get_sidebar() ?>

<?php get_footer() ?>

    <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post() ?>

    <h2 class=”entry-title”><?php the_title() ?></h2>
    <div class=”entry-content”><?php the_content(); ?></div>
    </div>

    <?php endwhile; ?>

    <!– <h2>Meet the staff</h2> –>

    <?php query_posts(‘cat=6&orderby=title&order=ASC’);
    while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
    <div class=”<?php sandbox_post_class() ?>”>
