how to limit posts displayed with this codeblock by category

  • Hi, I’ve had a look through the twentyten loop but I can’t figure this out at this hour of the night. What is the best way to filter posts by category with the below codeblock? Thanks. 

    <h2 class="entryhead"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?> </a></h2>
		 <div id="news" class="about"> 

         <?php if (have_posts() ) : ?>
         	<?php while (have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
            	<article <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

                        <div class="entry">
                       <?php the_excerpt(); ?> 

                         </div>
                         <em class="postedon"> Posted on: <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?></em>
                        <em class="postedby">by <?php the_author() ?></em>
                         <div class="postmetadata">
                         <?php the_tags('Tags: ', ',', '<br />'); ?>
                          Posted in <?php the_category(', ')?> |
                          <?php comments_popup_link('No Comments ?', ' 1 Comment ?', '% Comments ?'); ?>
                 </article>
            <?php endwhile; ?>

            <?php else : ?>
            <h2>Not Found</h2>
          <?php endif ; ?>

  • Try replacing this:

    <?php if (have_posts() ) : ?>

    with this:

    <?php
global $wp_query;
query_posts(
   array_merge(
      $wp_query->query,
      array('cat' => 1)  // Replace with your cat id
   )
); ?>
<?php if (have_posts() ) : ?>
