Hi guys

Can you please help me out with my problem?

I would like to display 3 posts from specific category, let’s call it “SPECIFIC” with ID 234

Cureent code in home file is

<!-- Recent Posts -->
			<?php
		if(opt('home_recent_posts'))
		{
			$lastposts = get_posts( 'numberposts=3&suppress_filters=0' );

			if(count($lastposts))
			{
			?>

			<div class="container">
				<div class="row latest_blog_post">

				<?php foreach($lastposts as $post) { setup_postdata($post);
					$postType     = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'content_type', true);
					$hasMedia     = false;
					$vType        = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'video_server', true);
					$vID   		  = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'video_id', true);

					if($postType == '1' && function_exists('has_post_thumbnail') && has_post_thumbnail())
						$hasMedia = true;
					else if($postType == '2')
						$hasMedia = true;

					$boxClass = $hasMedia ? '' : 'no-media';
				?>

					<div class="span4 box <?php echo $boxClass; ?>">
						<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
							<div class="meta">
								 <?php the_time('d'); ?>
								<span><?php the_time('M'); ?></span>
							</div>
							<?php if($postType == '1'){ ?>
							<div class="image">
								<?php if ( function_exists('has_post_thumbnail') && has_post_thumbnail() )
											the_post_thumbnail('recent-posts');
								?>
							</div>
							<?php
							}
							elseif($postType == '2')
							{
								?>
								<div class="post_video">
								<?php
								if($vType == '' || $vType == '1')
								{
								?>
									<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/<?php echo $vID; ?>" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
							<?php
								}
								else

								<?php
								}
								?>
								</div>
							<?php
							}
							?>
						</a>
						<h2>
							<a class="title" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
						</h2>
						<div class="separator"></div>
						<p>
						<?php
						$content = get_the_content();

						if(strlen($content) <= 200)
							echo $content;
						else
						{
							$matches = array();
							preg_match('/^.{0,200}(?:.*?)\b/iu', strip_tags($content), $matches);
							echo $matches[0] . '...';
						}
						?>
						</p>
					</div>
				<?php } ?>

				</div>
			</div>
