Hi Esmi

Yes, the custom field holds the slug.

Good news though – change $posts to $post and hey presto! 🙂

$category = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'category', true);

Thank you for your help!

Hi Esmi

Thank you for getting back…

It wasn’t working as in it doesn’t restrict the loop to the assigned category.

?php

$category = get_post_meta($posts->ID, 'category', true); 

// The Query
$the_query = new WP_Query( 'category_name=' . $category . '&showposts=4' );

// The Loop
while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post();
	echo '<li>';
	the_title();
	echo '</li>';
endwhile;
