    On my index page, I want to list 5 posts from each category that has more than 5 posts. Do I have to put the code again and again or there can be a loop to run WP_Query for every category? Also, is there any other better way of dong that?

    Solved Myself:

    $arr = array (
    array (‘category_name’ => ‘youtube’, ‘posts_per_page’ => ‘4’),
    array (‘category_name’ => ‘Google’, ‘posts_per_page’ => ‘3’),
    array (‘category_name’ => ‘Dropbox’, ‘posts_per_page’ => ‘2’),
    array (‘category_name’ => ‘Windows’, ‘posts_per_page’ => ‘1’)
    );

    foreach ($arr as $args) {
    $the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
    if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) :
    while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post();
    echo ‘<p>’ . get_the_title() . ‘</p>’;
    //echo ‘<div class=”entry”>’ . get_my_excerpt(50) . ‘</div>’;
    endwhile;
    echo ‘<hr>’;
    wp_reset_postdata();
    else: echo ‘<p>’ . _e( ‘Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.’ ) . ‘</p>’;
    endif;
    }
