    Hello All,
    I am working on a website where I have links (Main Navigations) news gallery, awards, competition etc.. I would like to make these links to direct to the recent post from the each category which I have mentioned above. example if some one clicks on the NEWS link it the recent post from the NEWS category will open. I am using currently this code

    <div id="home"><?php
global $post;
$latest_posts = get_posts('numberposts=1');
foreach($latest_posts as $latest) {
	echo '<a href="'.get_permalink($latest->ID).'" class=main_menu_links>NEWS</a>';
}
?></div>

    If it is only one category this can work well. What if different categories like the one which I have mentioned above? Please help me if you have any answer. Your help will be highly appreaciate.

    Thank you in advance

  • If news gallery, awards, competition etc are categories and if you are using wp_list_categories to display navigation menu, won’t it link to the recent posts from that particular category…

    <?php wp_list_categories( ); ?> will only list the category links..it will not show the posts. What I need is if i click on the main menus (category name) i will be ale to see the recent post in side that particular gallery. Just like we are clicking on a static websites main Links.

    Please help me!!!! any body here?

    <?php
global $post;
$cats = get_categories();
foreach($cats as $cat){
 $myposts = get_posts('numberposts=1&category=$cat->term_id');
 foreach($myposts as $post) :
   setup_postdata($post);
   echo '<a href="'.the_permalink().'" class=main_menu_links>'.$cat->name.'</a>';
 endforeach;
}
?>

    cicking on the category names form your sidebar should show the all the posts from that category
