    I have duplicated my home page and I'm using it as a page" template - basically I'm creating an alternate "home page" to display all of the posts that belong to a specific category.

    Can someone point me in the right direction please?

    Thanks in advance...

    Have a page display posts only from one category

    before the WP loop, which generally starts with

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

    add this code

    <?php $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
          query_posts("cat=1&amp;paged=$paged"); ?>

    change cat=1 to the cat ID of the cat you want on the page. To find the cat ID, go to the category maint screen - point at the name of the cat - look in the lower left corner at the browser's status line - you will see a URL - the cat ID is at the end of that URL.
