SamuelI'm having trouble with the code below. It doesn't seem to be displaying post from the specified category, instead it's displaying all posts.
Thanks
<?php
query_posts($query_string.'category=5&showposts=4');
$counter=0;
while (have_posts()) :
$counter++;
switch($counter) {
case 1:
case 2:
the_post(); ?>
<ul class="post">
<li>
<div class="news-post" id="news-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<div class="news-thumb news-main"><!-- Thumbnail Wrapper -->
<h5 class="news-title"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title() ?></a></h5>
<?php $image = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'thumbnail', true); ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><img src="<?php echo $image; ?>" alt="" /></a>
<div class="post-date"><!-- Date -->
<h2 class="date"><?php the_time('m/j') ?></h2>
</div> <!-- /Date -->
</div><!-- /Thumbnail Wrapper -->
</div><!-- /Post ID -->
</li>
</ul>
<?php
break;
case 3:
$postslist = get_posts('category=7&showposts=1');
foreach ($postslist as $adpost) {
setup_postdata($adpost);
?>
<li>
<div class="ad-post" id="ad-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<div class="ad-thumb ad-main"><!-- Thumbnail Wrapper -->
<h5 class="ad-title"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title() ?></a></h5>
<?php $image = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'thumbnail', true); ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><img src="<?php echo $image; ?>" alt="" /></a>
<div class="post-date"><!-- Date -->
<h2 class="date">[Sponsored]</h2>
</div> <!-- /Date -->
</div><!-- /Thumbnail Wrapper -->
</div><!-- /Ad ID -->
</li>
<?php
} // end foreach
// important: no break statement here
case 4:
the_post(); ?>
<ul class="post">
<li>
<div class="news-post" id="news-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<div class="news-thumb news-main"><!-- Thumbnail Wrapper -->
<h5 class="news-title"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title() ?></a></h5>
<?php $image = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'thumbnail', true); ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><img src="<?php echo $image; ?>" alt="" /></a>
<div class="post-date"><!-- Date -->
<h2 class="date"><?php the_time('m/j') ?></h2>
</div> <!-- /Date -->
</div><!-- /Thumbnail Wrapper -->
</div><!-- /Post ID -->
</li>
</ul>
<?php
break;
} // end switch-case
endwhile;
?>
