   Hi everyone.

   Thanks for reading, I am a relatively new user to wordpress.

   I am looking to show posts by a specific category on a page (the page has a custom template, the template code is shown below). All help much appreciated.

   <?php
   /*
   Template Name: meetings
   */
   ?>
   
   <?php get_header(); ?>
   
   	<div id="content" role="main">
   
   	<div id="mainContent">
   
   	<div class="post">
   	<h2>Meetings</h2>
   
   	<p>All posts under meetings</p>
   
   </div>
   </div>
   <?php include("sideNav.php"); ?>
   </div>
   <?php get_footer(); ?>

   You need to add a loop and add a function called query_posts().

   Try:

   <?php
   /*
   Template Name: meetings
   */
   ?>
   
   <?php get_header(); ?>
   
   	<div id="content" role="main">
   
   	<div id="mainContent">
   
   	<div class="post">
   	<h2>Meetings</h2>
   
   	<p>All posts under meetings</p>
   
        <?php query_posts('category_name=Meetings'); ?>
   
        <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   
        	<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
   
        <?php endwhile; endif; ?>
   
   </div>
   </div>
   <?php include("sideNav.php"); ?>
   </div>
   <?php get_footer(); ?>

   Hi,

   Thanks for that - it works, but it is not what I am looking for. I think I explained badly.

   Looking for:

   post summary and link to the post itself.

   I will try to work it out from what you have given me. But if you can do it easily, it would be most appreciated.

   Thanks again. Adam.

   No problem, I wasn't going to write the whole loop for you! :P
