   <?php
   //return sticky posts in categories 3 and 7
   query_posts(array(
   	'post__in'=>get_option('sticky_posts'),
   	'cat'=>'3,7'
   	));
   if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
   ?>

   thanks raskull.
   I edited some parts
   

   <?php $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
   $sticky=get_option('sticky_posts');
   $args=array(
   'cat'=>232,
   'caller_get_posts'=>1,
   'post__in' => $sticky,
   'paged'=>$paged,
   );
   query_posts($args); while ( have_posts() ) : the_post()  ?>

   Wanted to know, isn't there any way for the cat number to autofill, like if the user in on the autos category it is filled as autos

   i will be having a classified theme (study related)

   where there be categories like
   - ACCA
   - O Levels
   - A Levels
   - Matriculate
   - Intermediate
   etc.

   If the user visits acca, the sticky posts of ACCA be shown.
   If he visits o levls, the sticky from that category is posted.
   and so on.

   Again thankyou

   Do you have a file named category.php? That might go a long way towards what you're looking for. It's what results if you click a category link (if you have category.php, otherwise it moves on to archive.php). Take a look in archive.php to see what's going on -- you only need the part related to category to put in your category.php file.

   My point is -- category.php already knows what category to display because it came from a category link. Let me know if that doesn't help!
