    Hey,
    I know this is a possibility, but i have no idea how to do it. I´m working on a wordpress site and want to have different news categories in fields, like the screenshot below.

    Could anyone help me find the way to do this? Thanks.

    You would have to code this in to the page template.

    Each box would call in the latest post(s) for each category, so for example:

    <div class="newsbox">
         <?php
            $boxnews = get_posts('numberposts=1&category=1');
            foreach($boxnews as $post) :
            setup_postdata($post);
         ?>
    <div class="news-item">
       <div class="news-text">
          <h2><span>Category Title 1</span> <?php the_title(); ?></h2>
          <?php the_content(); ?>
      </div>
   <div style="clear:both;"></div>
</div> <!--eof latest-item -->
<?php endforeach; ?>
</div>

    numberposts=1&category=1 allows you to control how many posts are shown per box and from which category, so for 3 boxes, you would have 3 different categories for each one.

    Hope this helps.

    Thank you so much Phil, the code worked perfectly. I added some stuff myself to just show the titles and made them link :)! Thank you very much for the help.
