How to show only one category of media posts per page

I second this question – I would like to know too!

<?php
query_posts(‘cat=17&posts_per_page=3’);
while (have_posts()) : the_post();
the_title();
the_content();
endwhile;
?>

you can use this for restrict ing the categories. just you need to pass your category id and limit the posts per page.

Very useful, p5systems – thanks very much.

p5systems, I’m sorry, I’m not quite understanding your answer because I’m still learning my way around WP.

For example, I want three different Portfolio pages: Video, Photography, and Ebooks. Video portfolio is for category “videos,” Photography portfolio is for category “photos,” and Ebooks portfolio is for category “books.” Let’s say portfolio page for video is ID #123, for photography it is ID #456, and for ebooks it is ID #789.

How would I modify your code example for the Video portfolio page? If I see how it’s done for a specific page and parameters, then the other two would be easy to figure out.

Also, do I insert the code into the Custom CSS in Theme Options, or do I insert it elsewhere, perhaps a child theme?

Pinboard is a great theme, and I’d love to be able to customize it just a little bit more. Thank you ??

Celeste1212, if you need further support than that provided in this thread, please create your own thread.

Okay, but it seemed like a logical continuation. I’ll post another thread later, thanks.
