 * Hello,
 * Any help with this would be brilliant.
 * My current ‘News page’ is like: /index.php?cat=5 however, on this page(which 
   is styled by archive.php), I also want a bit underneath it to show all the posts
   that should be in /index.php?cat=12 , is this a possibility.
 * Can someone show me how?

 * seriously dude, get out of my time zone…
 *     ```
       <?php
       if (is_category(5)) :
           $readposts = get_posts('numberposts=5&category=12');
           foreach($readposts as $post) : setup_postdata($post);
           ?>
   
              [regular post stuff goes here]
   
           <?php
           endforeach;
       endif;
       ?>
       ```
   
 * This should work, barring any tyops.

 * haha, you’re welcome… don’t worry, I’m kidding, I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t
   get some perverse joy out of other people’s suffering.
 * I mean… I like helping people.

 * Haha, can’t help but get a kick out of the old suffering game 🙂
 * I seem to be getting a Parse Error on the ‘endforeach’ part:
 * `Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENDFOREACH`
 * My code:
 *     ```
       <?php
       		if (is_category(5)) :
           			$readposts = get_posts('numberposts=5&category=12');
           			foreach($readposts as $post) : setup_postdata($post);
           		?>
              			<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
       		<div class="post">
       				<h3 id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
       				<small><?php the_time('l, F jS, Y') ?></small>
   
       				<div class="entry2" style="margin-right:135px;position:relative;">
   
       				<?php the_content() ?>
       				</div>
   
       		</div> <!-- end of post class element -->
   
           		<?php
           		endforeach;
       		endif;
       		?>
       ```
   
 * Promise this is the last time I ask 🙂

 * ah, its because you’re putting the while loop and stuff in there as well…
 * I mean lets get that right first, then we’ll know for sure.
 * put only this part into my code above:
 *     ```
       <div class="post">
          <h3 id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
          <small><?php the_time('l, F jS, Y') ?></small>
          <div class="entry2" style="margin-right:135px;position:relative;">
             <?php the_content() ?>
          </div>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * I’ve left out the parts you have got commented there, since they wouldn’t be 
   showing up anyway.

 * anytime… 🙂
 * remember to vary the numposts= part, or remove it if you want them all.

 * Aaaah good call. I’ll probably want to list them all, so may remove that clause.

 * Is there an is_not_category?
 * I’ve been trying things like:
 * if (!in_category(’26’) && !in_category(‘3’) )
 * if (!is_category(’26’) && !is_category(‘3’) )
 * but getting nowhere 🙁
 * Have you experienced this before?

 * the !is_category should work.. but.. your conditional is kind of odd because 
   no one thing can be both category 26 AND category 3 at the same time.
 * maybe you want || which is a logical OR…
 * that way either 26 or 3 are covered.
 * this assumes you’re actually doing this on a category page as per this thread,
   and not in a single post or something.

 * Yes, sorry it should be the || I’m using.
 * Thank you.

 * I get those screwed up all the time. If you could see my FTP logs you’d find 
   the same file uploaded 16 times in the same 5 minutes, as I discover yet more
   brain farts.
