Support » Plugins » Displaying a list of categories on a static php page

  • Hi – I have managed to display my latest post and my post titles on my static .php landing page see here. How do I display a category list for example for the right hand section rather than post titles.

    <?php
    // Include WordPress
    define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
    require('../walkingholidays/wp-load.php');
    query_posts('showposts=1');
    ?>

    My PHP for the latest post:

    <div class="blogright"><?php while (have_posts()): the_post(); ?>
     <h2>Collett's Blog - <?php the_title(); ?></h2>
    <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
    <p><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">Read the latest from Collett's Mountain Holidays Blog...</a></p>
    <?php endwhile; ?></div>

    My PHP for the latest post titles x5:

    <div class="blogright">
    <h2>Post Titles</h2>
    <?php query_posts('showposts=5'); ?>
    <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
    <?php the_category( $separator, $parents, $post_id ); ?>
    <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a><br />
    <?php endwhile;?>
    </div>

    Any help greatly appreciated

    Mas
