    I don’t know why I am having so many problems with this — especially since I see so many posts about it. I am trying to list the most recent post titles from two categories in my sidebar.php. I have tried adding <?php query_posts(‘cat=1&showposts=10’); ?> but nothing appears, even though I have a category that matches that ID.

    Two simple lists, one from each category…both appearing in the sidebar… what am I so obviously missing? Some additional PHP from the loop?

    do you not still need <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> ? try using category_name=... instead of cat, and using its name.

    Thanks. I will try this tonight and see how it goes. Right now I am having issues with my hosting company as I am getting a 500 Internal Server Error on my site 🙁

    Also the fact that I misspelled “two” in the title of this post will probably not help me get a lot of replies…
