I’m using similar code with a view to displaying the 5 most recent stories in the same category as the story I’m currently reading. However, in the line;

<?php $posts = get_posts( "category=5&numberposts=5" ); ?>

Is it possible to declare the category value as something WordPress will read as the current category?

Alright, continuing to not be having much luck – is anyone aware of any kind of work-around for this?!

This look good, no?

Truely boggled!

Surely theres a way around it – a plugin or something?

I’m not using anything out of the ordinary – what could possibly be throwing it off?

Is there any way to get past that, though?

Sorry, on reading up on this I now understand the structure.

However, I’ve tried applying this to https://iheartau.com/wordpress/news/ and the ‘next page’ link is giving me a 404 error and I don’t know why, as previous entries do exist – am I missing a template file or something wrong with my permalink structure?

Thanks so much, its been bugging me for days!

Perfection – thank you!

Alright.

Alongside the category-x.php file, I want a page automatically generating a date-ordered list of all entries within a specific category.

Make sense?

Alright then.

It’s an excerpt from a piece of code on my home.php, where I want to pull the last entry from a specific category to be displayed. You’ll see on iheartau.com/wordpress – after the advertisement – that it’s already displaying, but it’s displaying the latest entry overall, not from the category specified.

The code running in that particular div is:

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php query_posts(‘cat=3’); ?>

<h1 class=”subtitle_home”><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<h2 class=”tagline”><?php echo c2c_get_custom(‘tagline’); ?> <?php edit_post_link(‘Edit’,'(‘, ‘)’); ?> </h2>

<div class=”storycontent”>
<?php the_excerpt_reloaded(70,”,”, true, ‘<br><div class=”moretext”>Read On …</div>’); ?>
<?php wp_link_pages(); ?>
</div>

<?php else : ?>
<p>No post found.</p>
<?php endif; ?>

Any help provided would be extraordinary.

Theres nothing in the documentation about the /archive/ … part of the URL – presumably I need to include a structure tag or something? How do I generate an archive alongside using the category-x.php file to display selected items?

My permalink structure is currently “/%category%/%postname%/”

But shouldn’t that code work, hypothetically? Take a look at https://iheartau.com/wordpress and scroll past the ad, you’ll see what I’m trying to do.

No, this code is for the home.php – to display the newest entry from a category. My reply about the “styled category page” was misplaced.

If I don’t have archives in my structure, how do I add it? Is that the problem?
