Exclude category AND limit posts?

  • I am using code I found online to exclude a category from a listing of the most recent entry titles. Now I want to only show the last three entries as well. How do I include the limitation to my code?

    <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

    <?php if ( !(in_category('18')) ) { ?>

    <a>(<?php the_time('M. d'); ?>) <?php the_title(); ?></a>

    <?php } ?>

    <?php endwhile; else: ?>
    Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.
    <?php endif; ?>

    Thanks so much for your help!

  • You’re looking for Query_Posts [wordpress codex], which can easily limit categories and posts.

    You’d use <?php query_posts('cat=-2&showposts=10') ?> for example, if you wanted to exclude category 2 and show only 10 posts.
