Pulling posts from certain category and applying different style to only first.

  • If I want to pull only from a certain category, where would I put that call?

    Using this:

    <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php $post = $posts[0]; $c=0;?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<?php $c++;
if( $c == 1) :?>
<h1>The first post on the main index page</h1>
<?php the_title(); ?>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>

<?php else :?>
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endif;?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

    I was using this:

    <?php
query_posts("cat=16");
global $more;
// set $more to 0 in order to only get the first part of the post
$more = 0;
?>

    But obviously this lacks the style changes. Not sure how to combine…

    Thanks in advance

  • Try:

    <?php
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$args= array(
	'cat' => 16,
	'paged' => $paged
);
query_posts($args);
?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php $post = $posts[0]; $c=0;?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

    Sorry, I’m still a bit new at this, how can I use what you have shared, and still have the first styled differently as in my example?

    Thanks again
