   On my website Nicks World I am using wp_list_categories('orderby=name&title_li=&exclude=1,25') for the menu in the left sidebar
   This works great but when I click on a link it displays all the posts for that link eg if I click on computers/computer software/Password Managers it displays both the posts I have in there so far (Remember My Password + Roboform Password Manager) - I would like it to display only 1 post

   Can anyone help please?

   Not sure what code you are using in the template that is displaying those posts, but will at least present this:

   <?php
   $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
   query_posts($query_string&showposts='1&paged=' . $paged);
   ?>

   Many thanks for your prompt reply

   I think I have put your code in the right place:

   <?php
   $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
   query_posts($query_string&showposts='1&paged=' . $paged);
   ?>
   <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   <h1>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>

   Unfortunately I get this error message:
   Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '=' in ******\archive.php on line 14

   Line 14 is this one:
   query_posts($query_string&showposts='1&paged=' . $paged);

   Any ideas how to correct this please?

   Thanks for your help

   Oops it should be

   query_posts($query_string . '&showposts=1&paged=' . $paged);

   I have now made this code 'live' on my website (I was testing it on my local server first before I made it live) and I have noticed 1 annoying thing ...

   If you go to This page you will see a "Next Page >" link ... is there any way I can stop this coming up? It only happens when there are more than 1 post in the corresponding category and clicking it does not show the next post ...

   Thanks for your help

   In my blog I have one post in each category.

   I'm showing the categories in a menu by using
   <?php wp_list_categories('title_li='); ?>

   However, the link that is created is to the category page which shows part of the one and only post.

   How can I show the full post?

   Thanks in advance.

   Pali
