how to get posts from sub categories without showing subcategories?

  • Hi,
    I did some searches but haven’t found any code for this.
    I would like to display latest posts from subcategories from this main category. Here is the structure.

    – Video main category
    — cars sub category
    — post 1
    — post 2

    I want to able to display the latest posts “post 1 and post 2” under “video” without showing sub-category “cars”.

    thanks

    I want to get only the latest posts from “video” main category which has multiple sub categories.

    only 4 latest posts among all the sub directories.
    I’ve seen a lot of code that get post from each of the sub-categories.

    thanks
