   Hello everyone, wondered if someone could shed some light on this.

   I have referenced the page for the function get_posts() in order to be able to grab the list of posts from a particular category (in this case 'news') but for some reason it's returning a random post in a completely different category.

   My code is as follows:

   <?php
    global $blog;
    $myarticles = get_posts('numberposts=3&offset=0&category_name=news');
    foreach($myarticles as $article) :
    ?>
      <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a><br />
   	<?php the_date(); ?><br />
   
    <?php endforeach; ?>

   Here I am grabbing all the News Articles I have written and placing the most recent three on the page, but it's not doing that - instead it's putting the title of one random post from my database. Can't understand why - is there something I'm missing?

   Thanks in advance for any help.
   Michael

   Change:
   

   foreach($myarticles as $article) :

   To:
   

   foreach($myarticles as $post) :
   setup_postdata($post);
