Anyone have minute to take a look at this? I sure would appreciate it.

Anyone have an idea on my last post?

Hmmm, it seems as though this works better than the above. Can anyone explain why? Is there anyone even reading these posts? ??

<?php query_posts('category_name=blog&showposts=2'); ?>

It seems as though you can’t show these two lines together:

<?php
	query_posts('showposts=1');
	query_posts($query_string . '&cat=9');

	if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
?>

If I take out the category listing the single post works. So I guess now the question is, how do you show a single post and category together?

I think I figured out one of my questions. To clear a query and not have it affect my sidebar I put in this at the end:

<?php endif; wp_reset_query(); ?>

Now for some reason–event though I’ve said to show only two posts–it still shows all of them.

<?php query_posts($query_string . '&posts_per_page=2'); ?>

The code shows all instead of 2 per page.

Hi Carlla,

That helped quite a bit and believe I can get it to work that way. One question though; how do I target specific areas on the page? For example, I want one blog post to show up in the content area, and the listing post to show up in the sidebar. I’m able to get the listing posts in the sidebar, but as soon as I tell the blog area to only show blogs and not listings, it clears out my sidebar.

Thanks,
Burt

The category post seems to be working and should work fine for now.

As for the contact, I’m looking more for an input field within the Admin area and then have those fields output as shown in “sidebar 2.” Is there some way of creating multiple text fields that populate the sidebar? For example, within the admin area you fill in a Title, Phone name and then phone number. Is that what a widget would be for?

Yep, that was the problem. I had it set on Mac, but as soon as I switched to UNIX it started to work. Thanks!
