Display post on Pages

You need to create a custom page template that uses either get_posts or query_posts.

Template Tags/query posts

oops.. I have the slows today. ??

here is my code:

<?php
/*
Template Name: Product Catalog
*/
?>

<?php get_header(); ?> <!-- header include -->

<div id="left">
	<div id="left-top">
			<h2>Product Catalog</h2>
		</div><!-- end left-top -->	

		<div class="blog-content">
			<?php query_posts('cat=3&showposts=3&order=ASC&orderby=post_title'); ?>
			<?php if(have_posts()) : ?><?php while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
			<!--<h2><?php //the_title(); ?></h2>-->
			<p>
				<?php the_content(); ?>
			</p>

			<?php endwhile; ?>
		</div><!-- end blog-content -->	

			<?php else : ?>

            <div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
                <h2><?php _e('Nothing Here'); ?></h2>
            </div>

        <?php endif; ?>

		<div class="catalog-pages">
			<p>
				<?php posts_nav_link('<span style="padding-left: 450px"></span>','Previous','Next'); ?>
			</p>
		</div><!-- end catalog-page numbers -->

</div><!-- end left -->

<?php get_sidebar(); ?> <!-- sidebar include -->

<?php get_footer(); ?> <!-- footer include -->

</div> <!-- wrap end -->
</body>
</html>

I added your query_post idea and it didn’t seem to work.

In what way didn’t it work? I assume you did apply this template to a published page, yes?

yep sure did, none of the post are appearing

I can’t see anything wrong with that query – other than you might want to change showposts to posts_per_page (showposts is now deprecated). Could the category id be incorrect? You could try using something like:

<?php
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$args= array(
	'category_name' => 'Name,
	'posts_per_page' => 3,
	'order' => 'ASC',
	'orderby' => 'post_title',
	'paged' => $paged
);
query_posts($args);
?>

which would let you use the category and ensure functional paging. Or, as it’s a single category, you could look at creating a category template.

I have added your script at the top replacing:

<?php query_posts('cat=3&showposts=3&order=ASC&orderby=post_title'); ?>
			<?php if(have_posts()) : ?><?php while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

Still nothing showing

Also, reason I created page, is i want to make the category password protected.

<?php query_posts('cat=3&showposts=3&order=ASC&orderby=post_title'); ?>
<?php if(have_posts()) : ?><?php while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

That seems to work fine for me. I changed the category and the sort order just to be sure.

got it to work, not sure what the issue was but thanks for the help.
Now i am recieving a new error about my header:

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter – headers already sent (output started at /public_html/blog/wp-content/themes/mytheme/productcatalog.php:9) in /public_html/blog/wp-content/themes/mytheme/header.php on line 2

My line two is the following:

/*

Which is part of the template declaration.

Whats up now?

Also my posts_nav_link arent working.

Got the “Warning…..” error fixed.

But I am back to getting this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENDIF in public_html/blog/wp-content/themes/mytheme/productcatalog.php on line 67

On line 67 is </html>

here is my code:

<?php
/*
Template Name: Product Catalog
*/

get_header(); ?> <!-- header include -->

<div id="left">
	<div id="left-top">
			<h2>Product Catalog</h2>
		</div><!-- end left-top -->	

		<div class="blog-content">
			<?php query_posts('cat=3&showposts=3&order=ASC&orderby=post_title'); ?>
			<?php if(have_posts()) : ?><?php while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

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

			<?php endwhile; ?>
		</div><!-- end blog-content -->	

			<?php else : ?>

            <div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
                <h2><?php _e('Nothing Here'); ?></h2>
            </div>

			<?php endif; ?>
			<?php
				$pagelist = get_pages('sort_column=menu_order&sort_order=asc');
				$pages = array();
				foreach ($pagelist as $page) {
				   $pages[] += $page->ID;
				}

				$current = array_search($post->ID, $pages);
				$prevID = $pages[$current-1];
				$nextID = $pages[$current+1];
			?>

			<div class="catalog-pages">
				<?php if (!empty($prevID)) { ?>
					<p>
						<a href="<?php echo get_permalink($prevID); ?>" title="<?php echo get_the_title($prevID); ?>">Previous</a>
					</p>
				<?php if (!empty($nextID)) { ?>
					<p>
						<a href="<?php echo get_permalink($nextID); ?>" title="<?php echo get_the_title($nextID); ?>">Next</a>
					</p>

			</div><!-- end catalog-pages -->

</div><!-- end left -->

<?php get_sidebar(); ?> <!-- sidebar include -->

<?php get_footer(); ?> <!-- footer include -->

</div> <!-- wrap end -->
</body>
</html>

What is causing this error?
