To expand on this, I hgave a follow-up question.

How do I get the DISPLAY TITLE of as displayed in the loop to be a variable for the category displayed?
That is, I want only the post from category 1 appear in the loop – other category posts appear in the sidebar. Here is the code I am presently using to display the category Title in the loop, the DISPLAY TITLE is fixed:

<div class="title">
<h3><a href="http://www.site.com/wp-rss2.php?cat=1" title="Title">
<img align="left" border="0" hspace="3" src="http://www.mozilla.org/images/feed-icon-28x28.png" alt="Title" title="Title" />DISPLAYED TITLE</a></h3></div>

For the categories in the sidebar I use this:

<h2><a href="http://www.site.com/wp-rss2.php?cat=2" title="Title 2">
<img align="left" border="0" hspace="3" src="http://www.mozilla.org/images/feed-icon-14x14.png" alt="Title 2" title="Title 2" /></a>Title 2</h2>
<ul>
<?php
global $post;
$myposts = get_posts('numberposts=5&offset=1&category=139');
foreach($myposts as $post) :
setup_postdata($post);
?>
<li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>

The problem with that code is twofold. 1) It does not display the most recent post (I cannot find any arguments to display all posts) and 2) if you click on the link, the category posts appear under the title created by the code in the loop.

What I want, if I can babble longer, is the main page to show the posts from category 1 in the loop with the title appearing in an <h3> above the posts. Then have specified categories appear in the sidebars (not using widgets). I want the title for the categories to appear in a <h2> in the sidebar and be a link to that categories posts. When that link is clicked the full posts appear in the “maincol” with the categories’ title. Presently, if you click the link it displays the fixed title used in the code above.

Does this make sense? I am not a full time coder … 😉

thanks

Same problem. I installed RC-1 on 2 blogs no problem. with the stable relase planned on rolling out to all blogs. First one installed to gave a white screen. No idea what is going on.

I downgraded and got back up. Tried to install the RC, to no avail and had to downgrade again. all blogs (even the ones with working 2.3) are ont he same server. Not willing to do the backup clean install – too much time and I am risk averse.

Same issue here … grumble.

Nice theme, a bit overwhelming … nice code though.
