Don’t understand why this does not work:

<?php
                    global $wp_query;

                    $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;

                    $art_cat = (get_post_meta($post->ID, 'art_cat', true));

                    query_posts(array('posts_per_page' => '10','paged'=>$paged,'category_name'=>$art_cat));
                ?>

Thanks. This helped me, but a couple improvements:

<ul class="navmenu">
<li><?php wp_list_pages( 'title_li=' ); ?></li>
</ul>

Doesn’t need the surrounding <li></li> as it creates an empty <li></li> – the PHP call creates the list item for you.

Should look like this instead:

<ul class="navmenu">
<?php wp_list_pages( 'title_li=' ); ?>
</ul>

Also, that table craziness in your CSS is prolly not necessary. Try this instead for simplified version:

ul.navmenu {margin:10px 0;overflow:hidden;}
ul.navmenu li {padding:0 30px 0 34px;list-style-type:none;display:inline;}
ul.navmenu li a,#footernav a:active,#footernav a:visited{color:#<strong>COLOR OF CHOICE</strong>;text-decoration:none;}
ul.navmenu li a:hover{text-decoration:underline;}

Honza108, trying your fix to this problem but without success. Thanks!

Adding gallery to post via visual editor loads in custom WP 404 error page. Think I need an .htaccess fix because permalinks are on, but not sure how.

Have this working, but trying to understand why and also if it will stand up to use.

<!--Loop-->
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<?php global $post; $myposts = get_posts('numberposts=5&category=1'); foreach($myposts as $post) : ?>
<div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2></div>

<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<!--Loop-->

<!--MiniLoop (actual new query without loop?)-->
<?php global $post; $myposts = get_posts('numberposts=1&category=1'); foreach($myposts as $post) : ?>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<!--MiniLoop (actual new query without loop?)-->

What I cannot seem to grok is how both of these are referring to the global list of posts and getting different results –

• Loop pulling the first 5 entries from the “blog” page
• “MiniLoop” pulling from the text I have entered via the CMS from the page being called and used as Home NOT from post entries

Additionally for MiniLoop:

• – if “numberposts” is anything but “1” it pulls the text form the CMS entry page the same number of times (repeats it over and over)
• – “Pages” don’t have “Categories”, why is “category=1” grabbing the copy as explained above?
