   hi, i'm desperate for some help. i'm trying to get my homepage to only display posts & images tagged one specific category. this is the index.php file, part i added in to restrict to one category (40) is bolded. but it doesn't seem to be working (all new posts are appearing on the homepage). what am i missing? any help would be SO appreciated - thanks!

   <?php get_header(); ?>
   <!-- Content Wrap -->
   <div id="galleryWrap">
   <!-- Gallery -->
   <div id="gallery">
   <?php $posts = get_posts("category=40&numberposts=6"); ?>
   <?php if(have_posts()) : ?><?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   <!-- Thumbs -->
   <div id="site-<?php the_ID(); ?>" class="thumbs">
   ID, "Url", true); ?>" title="<?php the_title();?>"><img src="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "small", true); ?>" alt="<?php the_title();?>" class="thumbnail" />
   </div><!-- [END] thumbs -->
   <?php endwhile;?>
   <?php if(function_exists('wp_pagenavi')) { wp_pagenavi(); } ?>
   <?php endif; ?>
   </div><!-- [END] gallery -->
   <?php get_sidebar();?>
   </div><!-- [END] galleryWrap -->
   <?php get_footer(); ?>

   If this is your index.php then change that line to this:

   <?php query_posts($query_string . '&cat=40'); ?>

   thanks SO much! one more quick question. i want to do a similar thing on a blog page - is this the coding i'd use?

   <php
   /*
   Template Name: Page 2
   */
   ?>

   <?php get_header(); ?>

   <!-- Content Wrap -->
   <div id="galleryWrap">
   <!-- Gallery -->
   <div id="gallery">

   <?php if (is_page ()){ ?>

   <? } ?>

   <div class="content">

   <?php $posts = get_posts("category=33&numberposts=10"); ?>
   

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

   <div class="entry">
   <?php the_content(''); ?>
   </div>

   <?php endwhile;?>
   <?php endif; ?>

   </div>
   </div><!-- [END] gallery content -->
   <?php get_sidebar();?>

   </div><!-- [END] galleryWrap

   Probably better to use the foreach/setup_postdata construct rather than the if(have_posts()) : ?><?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ..... endwhile thing.

   See this example:
