hi everyone
im working on customizing wordpress 1.5.2
i have a few queries to make on the homepage where i basically request a list of 5 recent posts put together by category. Now when i write the query i request the category and the length of the list by passing
$my_query = new WP_Query('category_id=21&showposts=5');
but the system always returns the latest 5 from any given category...not the category i want...21 in this example.
url is http://www.spoode.com/wordpress/
check it out
thx for any help

I believe
$my_query = new WP_Query('category_id=21&showposts=5');
should be
$my_query = new WP_Query('cat=21&showposts=5');
At least it worked for me.
Do you happen to have difficulties making these second queries with IE or Opera? I have and they work just fine with Firefox. Hopefully it's again something really stupid reason I'm embarrassed to admit.
It is quite useless to "reply" to a post more than one year old... Look at the date!

I have to admit I didn't notice the date. But, someone might still end up on the post with the search and would like to have an answer. I found it with search trying to find an answer for my problem. Not helping me, but maybe someone else.
Why should there be a limit how old a thread to reply to? Unless, there really is a rule of it. In which case I apologize.
