Two Seperate Categories On One Page?

    Hey there fellow WordPressingians,

    I seem to have a very interesting dilemma. What I’m currently trying to accomplish is a blog (for new posts, etc.) and a webcomic running through WordPress simultaneously, on the same page.

    What I have right now are two tables, each displaying the posts, but what I want is one table displaying only the posts in category 1 (the comics), and the other displaying all the rest.

    Am I sane? (Wait, don’t answer that one) Is this possible? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

  • Take a look at the category tags and see which best suits you:

    Clicking on any of the tags shows their useage.

    Hm, I don’t think any of those give me quite what I want. Basically what I’m trying to accomplish is displaying the latest post in one category on one side of the page, and the latest post in another category on the other. I tried a <?php if ( in_category(1) ): ?> then display post code, but that only displays the post if I’m actually looking at the archive for that category. What I want is for the main index page of my site.

    Is there possibly a script that allows me to display the most recent post of a certain category? That may work.

    Solved! I kept looking around, and found the get_posts() tag, and used that and some php to call posts from each category for each table, so I have table 1 calling to category one, table 2 calling to category 2, etc.

    I’ll post the specific code if anyone else wants to know how to do this.

    Thanks!

    I would be interested in that code. I am looking to do something similar. On the top of the page post the my latest “news” post. And then under it post my latest story.

    Could you please post the code Mr.Spacebean. That would be nice.

    thank you!
