    Hi everybody!
    Is it possible to show on the one page two categories?
    Not one, not all, but two, for example “1” and “3”.
    Thanks ??

    I was told to go here, since I only wanted to show one cat on one page.
    It didn’t help me, but I think it has what you need:

    And if anyone can answer my original question?:

    Actually, I just did that. But instead of using the index.php directly, I used php include inside another file I called “home.php” so, the code on home.php looks something like that:
    <?php include 'https://www.your_site.com/path/to/blog/index.php?cat=3';?>
    Just change the 3 to whatever category id you want. I works great with 2 includes but I’m assuming you could include some more if you wanted to…
    You might also want to use a stripped down copy of your index.php for the includes so you don’t get the <head>, <body>, etc… included each time.

    The dangers of Mister X’s solution, as pointed out by dougal here is that each call like that will run & render the page…. which can lead to a lot of processing.
    I still stand by my assertion that $cat=”x,y,z…”; works to display posts only in those categories. In fact, I just tried it out to make sure, and sure enough, it works as exepected.

    The reason why I do it like that is because I want both categories displayed separately on the main page (two different <div> tags). If you just need a list of both cat combined, then TG’s technic is the way to go ??
