    I have a slider with 6 featured images from 6 different post’s, from a specific category on wordpress.

    What i’m trying to do is a function where i create 6/10/12 div’s (depending on how many post’s in this category i have published), and inside each div i want to show the titles of each post.

    I have this so far (but isnt working!!):

    HTML/PHP

    global $post;

$count_posts = wp_count_posts();
$published_posts = $count_posts->publish;

$args = array( 'numberposts' => $published_posts, 'category' => $slidecat );
$myposts = get_posts( $args );
foreach( $myposts as $post ) :  setup_postdata($post);
?>
                <li>
                <?php
                if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
                    the_post_thumbnail();
                }
                ?>
                    <div class="sb-bolas">
                        <?php
                        for ($zz=0; $zz<$published_posts; $zz++) {
                        ?>
                        <div class="bolas-grad">
                        <?php
                        //echo $parent_title = get_the_title($post->post_parent);
                        echo the_title($zz);
                        ?>
                        </div>
                        <?php
                        }
                        ?>
                    </div>
                </li>
 <?php endforeach;

    Any ideas?

    I’m confused about why you need to use wp_count_posts with the publish property and then use that to specify the number of posts. If all you’re trying to do is display data from all the published posts in a particular category, then that’ll happen in a standard query if you just specify the category.

    I may have misinterpreted what you’re trying to do, or there may be some requirement that I’m not aware of, but I wouldn’t have thought you would need anything more complicated than this:

    <?php
$slider_args = array( 'cat' => $slidecat, 'posts_per_page' => -1 );
$slider_query = new WP_Query( $slider_args );

if( $slider_query->have_posts() ) :
while( $slider_query->have_posts() ) : $slider_query->the_post(); ?>
	<li>
		<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) :
			the_post_thumbnail();
		endif; ?>
		<div class="sb-bolas">
			<div class="bolas-grad">
				<?php the_title(); ?>
			</div>
		</div>
	</li>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>

    In other words, for each post in the category specified by $slidecat, it echoes the thumbnail and the title. Note that the_title() does not need to be echoed.

    I have found what i needed with this code:

    <?php
  include( '../../../wp-blog-header.php' ); 

  $list_posts = get_posts( array( 'numberposts' => -1, 'category' => $slidecat ) );

  $list_titles = array();
  foreach( $list_posts as $post ) {
//	$list_titles[] = $post->post_title;
//	$list_titles[] = $post->ID;
$list_titles[] = $post->guid;
	}

	echo "<pre>"; print_r($list_titles); echo "</pre>";
?>

    Thanks anyway!
