 * I need some assistance with WordPress.
 * This is my first time making a wordpress site from scratch and I’m not a developer,
   just trying to help out.
 * the site at the moment is [http://www.bistromint.com.au/wp](http://www.bistromint.com.au/wp)
 * I need to do 3 things.
 * 1. Make the 3 text areas individual static posts editable in WordPress admin 
   and
    2. Remove date stamp, author, and comments from each post. 3. Make the posts
   static and not able to click them and go to a individual blog post.
 * Any help is more than welcomed.
 * Thanks

 * For question 1, I don’t know what your intention. Can you be more specific?
 * For question 2, you can remove date stamp, author, comment by editing content.
   php. See this video [](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ERDy26W0oo)
 * For question 3, in content.php, simply remove a tag with href the_permalink().
   Leave only the_title() in h1 tag.

 * I suppose the best way to explain is I need multiple loops on the same for individual
   posts.
 * So on Index.php i need 3 different ppost to show in 3 different areas of the 
   page

 * Ok, I understand now. The way you can achieve this by creating 3 categories. 
   And then using [WP_Query](http://codex.wordpress.org/WP_Query) to loops for each
   categories.

 * I got the headers to show but the post content isn’t showing, can you look at
   the code and tell me what else I could try?
 *     ```
       <?php
       get_header();
       ?>
       </div>
       <div class="gal_1">
        <?php
        $query1 = new WP_Query( 'category_name=1&showposts=1' );
   
       // The Loop
       while ( $query1->have_posts() ) {
               $query1->the_post();
       }
   
       wp_reset_postdata(); 
   
       ?>
       </div>
       <div class="strip"></div>
       <div class="content">
       	<?php
       	$query2 = new WP_Query( 'category_name=2&showposts=1' );
   
       // The 2nd Loop
       while( $query2->have_posts() ) {
               $query2->next_post();
               echo '<h2>' . get_the_title( $query2->post->ID ) . '</h2>';
       }
   
       wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
       </div>
       <div class="strip"></div>
       <div class="hero"><img src="img/hero.jpg" width="100%" height="651" alt=""></div>
       <div class="strip"></div>
       <div class="container_w content_2">
       	<?php
       		$query3 = new WP_Query( 'category_name=3&showposts=1' );
   
       // The 3rd Loop
       while( $query3->have_posts() ) {
               $query3->next_post();
               echo '<h1>' . get_the_title( $query3->post->ID ) . '</h1>';
       }
   
       wp_reset_postdata(); ?></div>
       <?php get_footer(); ?>

 * Take a look at your query parameter **WP_Query**. You supplied ID for category.
   If you want to use ID, use `cat=1`. If you want to use category_name, use category
   slug like `category_name=news`
 * For example :
 *     ```
       <div class="area1">
         <?php
             $args = array(
       	'post_type'     => 'post',
       	'category_name' => 'review'
             );
   
       	$query1 = new WP_Query( $args );
   
       	while($query1->have_posts()) : $query1->the_post();
       		the_title();
       	endwhile;
   
       	wp_reset_postdata();
         ?>
       </div>
   
       <div class="area2">
         <?php
             $args = array(
       	'post_type'     => 'post',
       	'category_name' => 'news'
             );
   
       	$query2 = new WP_Query( $args );
   
       	while($query2->have_posts()) : $query2->the_post();
       		the_title();
       	endwhile;
   
       	wp_reset_postdata();
         ?>
       </div>
   
       <div class="area3">
         <?php
             $args = array(
       	'post_type'     => 'post',
       	'category_name' => 'review'
             );
   
       	$query3 = new WP_Query( $args );
   
       	while($query3->have_posts()) : $query3->the_post();
       		the_title();
       	endwhile;
   
       	wp_reset_postdata();
         ?>
       </div>
       ```
