so no one in the WordPress world knows how to style the RSS Sidebar widget at all? or to create a stylised feed?

I’ve seen them on other WordPress sites, so it must be possible!

still hoping for help ??

is this in the wrong section? Please help!

oh I fixed it! It is cAsE sEnSiTiVe!!!

You rock, thanks so much!

Ok my code is now:

<?php
$catID = 0;
if (is_page('New in Store')) {
  $catID=3;
} elseif (is_page('In the Press')) {
  $catID=6;
} elseif (is_page('Contact')) {
  $catID=7;
}

if ($catID) {
   $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
   query_posts("cat=$catID&amp;paged=$paged");
} ?>

They all work! Except for New In Store

I checked the catID is correct (yes, it is 3) and that there is a post in that category, (yes, it is called “This is a post in the NIS category”) with the category ticked.

But it does not show!

If my page is called “In the Press” or “New in Store” do I have to put hard spaces?

Because I’ve created these two pages, and linked their catId as you example above, but it shows no posts, even though I have written a post for each category for testing purposes.

This is on my local test machine, so I can’t show you the actual site.

<?php
$catID = 0;
if (is_page('New in Store')) {
  $catID=3;
} elseif (is_page('In the Press')) {
  $catID=6;
}

if ($catID) {
   $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
   query_posts("cat=$catID&amp;paged=$paged");
} ?>
				<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
					<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

Thanks stvwlf, but I dont get this bit at all :

if ($catID) {
   $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
   query_posts("cat=$catID&paged=$paged");
} ?>

am I meant to change something in there to get it to work? catId?

I had an idea!

Is there a way to

get <?php wp_list_categories( array('show_count=0&amp;title_li=') ); ?>

To display the same as <?php wp_page_menu( array( 'show_home' => 1 ) ); ?>

?

I tried change page to category and categories, but they are invalid.

Just having my categories display like the menu array actually solves my problem if someone can tell me how to do it?
