    Hi, I’ve been striving for a while with categories to achieve a horizontal positionning of posts for a special project. No luck, yet. Anyone has an idea?
    Is it possible or do I have to go outside WP, using a gallery type of engine?

    Tx Moshu, but I miss the point. Perhaps these links have changed, but I don’t see any horizontal displaying of posts there. Perhaps I have not made myself clear: I’m trying to display posts side by side, that is, in columns and rows, as in a gallery. It’s for a catalog of artists for an agency. My client wants 3 posts per row, where each post = an artist.

    I could use a gallery, but would prefer tp remain in WP.

    Is the info about multiple loops in action in the codex right? It doesn’t seem to be working, or I am missing something.

    Anyone knows how to call a subcategory in a multiple loops context? For example, <?php query_posts('category_name=_&showposts=10'); ?> would only accept the parent categories. Whenever I call a subcategory, it returns false and nothing is displayed.

    OK. I could’nt find it, so I had to reorganize the structure of my categories. I dropped the subcats and worked only with parent cats. I thus have been able to solve my problem of displaying posts horizontally : I have rows of 3 columns, each row displaying 3 artists (each post is an artist). The trick was to use 3 loops, where each loop returns only one category. Each category has a -1, or -2 or -3 ending its name. This way I have the choice of moving artists between colummns. You could see the result here. The link will work only for a few days since access to the catalog is meant to be restricted to agencies and members. The site is to be put on line by March 1st.
