    Hi ,
    I am trying to show posts grouped under categories in index.php with no success .

    What i am trying to do :
    ———————————–
    Parent Category Name

      5 Post titles in this category

    ————————————
    Parent Category Name 2

      5 Post titles in this category2

    ————————————
    for all parent categories.

    One option that i found is this ;
    `<div>
    <p>cat1</p>
    <?php $my_query = new WP_Query( ‘category_name=cat1&posts_per_page=7’ );
    while ( $my_query->have_posts() ) : $my_query->the_post();
    $do_not_duplicate = $post->ID; ?>
    <h3 ><a href=”<?php the_permalink(); ?>”><?php the_title();?></a></h3>
    <?php endwhile; ?>
    </div>

    But if i use this then i will have to repeat same code for all categories and then also for child categories in category template.

    . I am stuck in this .
    Help would be really really appreciated .

    Solution:

    <?php

//for each category, show 1 post
$cat_args=array(
  'orderby' => 'name',
  'order' => 'ASC'
   );
$categories=get_categories($cat_args);
  foreach($categories as $category) {
    $args=array(
      'showposts' => 5,
      'category__in' => array($category->term_id),
      'caller_get_posts'=>5
    );
    $posts=get_posts($args);
      if ($posts && $category->category_parent == 0) {
       ?>
<div style="border:thick solid #0000FF; ">
  <?php
        echo 'Category: <a href="' . get_category_link( $category->term_id ) . '" title="' . sprintf( __( "View all posts in %s" ), $category->name ) . '" ' . '>' . $category->name.'</a> ';
        foreach($posts as $post) {
          setup_postdata($post); ?>
  <p>
    <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?>
    </a>
  </p>
  <?php
        } // foreach($posts
              ?>
</div>
<?php
      } // if ($posts

    } // foreach($categories
?>
