    Hi everyone.

    Thanks for reading, I am a relatively new user to wordpress.

    I am looking to show posts by a specific category on a page (the page has a custom template, the template code is shown below). All help much appreciated.

    <?php
/*
Template Name: meetings
*/
?>

<?php get_header(); ?>

	<div id="content" role="main">

	<div id="mainContent">

	<div class="post">
	<h2>Meetings</h2>

	<p>All posts under meetings</p>

</div>
</div>
<?php include("sideNav.php"); ?>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

    You need to add a loop and add a function called query_posts().

    Try:

    <?php
/*
Template Name: meetings
*/
?>

<?php get_header(); ?>

	<div id="content" role="main">

	<div id="mainContent">

	<div class="post">
	<h2>Meetings</h2>

	<p>All posts under meetings</p>

     <?php query_posts('category_name=Meetings'); ?>

     <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

     	<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>

     <?php endwhile; endif; ?>

</div>
</div>
<?php include("sideNav.php"); ?>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

    Hi,

    Thanks for that – it works, but it is not what I am looking for. I think I explained badly.

    Looking for:

    post summary and link to the post itself.

    I will try to work it out from what you have given me. But if you can do it easily, it would be most appreciated.

    Thanks again. Adam.

    No problem, I wasn’t going to write the whole loop for you! 😛
