Hey Kafkaesqui

Thanks for the reply

As mentioned that did work but for only the first category however I do really need it to read the current category that is being viewed and insert it.

Any further ideas?

Thanks I had tried copying and pasting the single.php file previously but must have done it to a wrong folder.

Thanks for the help all is now good.

Also I just noticed if I delete my first call to the loop from index.php

‘<?php $posts = get_posts(‘category=1&showposts=5’);
foreach ($posts as $post) :
setup_postdata($post);
?>’

before my

‘<?php if (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php the_content(__(‘(more…)’)); ?>’

and the

‘<?php endforeach; ?>’

It eradicates this problem but then I cannot show the 5 posts from category 1 as I want. I have tried namy efforts at using a replacement but none of the other plugins or loop examples work the way I want.

Ok I’ve tried a few plugins but none of them seem to offer me the options I need.

I tried some custom fields plugin but I had to add each custom field to each post instead of it appearing automatically each time i need to write a post.

I also tried some events plugins but don’t know how to add extra fields and therefore am stuck with only the default date/time/description they offer. I want to be able to add fields such as date/cost/venue etc.

yes this is a test blog on my local server. is there anyway around re-installing as I have modified everything excatly how i wanted it and it has taken me quite a while?
