   My blog is setup to show only one post at a time on the index page, which is how I want it. I am creating an inner page where I want to show all posts within a certain category, yet it's only showing the most recent post from that category. How do I override the settings I have so that the inner page shows all posts in that category rather than 1 post like the homepage does?

   Not sure if this is the answer you're looking for, but you will most likely have to edit your theme and use a wp function:

   Thanks, I actually found a loop to display just one on the homepage before checking back here. Shouldn't have gave up on searching for an answer so soon.

   One problem arises though which might need a new forum post.. I'm using this code on the homepage AND I want to exclude one category from ever showing up on the homepage

   <?php query_posts('posts_per_page=1');?>

   however when I add the code below somewhere, it does exclude that category but it also shows multiple posts again

   <?php
      if (is_home()) {
         query_posts("cat=-3");
      }
   ?>

   I found a plugin that seems to work http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/front-page-excluded-categories/
