I think i nearly have it! If i use this code –

<?php
query_posts('cat=1');
while (have_posts()) : the_post();
the_content();
endwhile;
?>

Then just the posts from a category i want show, problem is i have no idea where to put it without messing my template up!

This is what the page looks like so far – https://completemuscleandfitness.com/index.php/344-2/

and this is the template code without the above code in – https://pastebin.com/dLXvZZTp

I’ve found that the following code will work –

<?php
query_posts('cat=18');
while (have_posts()) : the_post();
the_content();
endwhile;
?>

But anywhere i put it, my template ends up messed up. Seems to work tho. Can someone tell me where to put the code?

Fianlly found out the ID number of the category i want to use if this helps at all its ID-18

There must be some sort of code i can place in the template with the ID number to bring up posts only from that category?

Yes, the original template (part of the theme) has page settings where i can choose the category. But i copied the template and changed the appearance slightly, but now i have copied it i dont get the page settings. So i just need to know what i need to add/change in the code to make it select a category?

Can i put the following code in somewere to select blog category?

<?php
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$args= array(
	'category_name' => 'antiquarianism, championship', // Change these category SLUGS to suit your use.
	'paged' => $paged

This is the original template – https://pastebin.com/q2KPPf8h

This is the template i modified – https://pastebin.com/B1Riavmq

Ok i’ll try and explain as best as i can.

The original template was just a blog template, i have template settings which allow me to choose which category of posts i want to show on that page.

The new template is an exact copy but then edited it a bit so that it would show an image at the top of the page for the title, that’s basically the only change. But on this new one when i select the template i dont get the settings, probably becuase it has to link to another file somwhere, i dont know!

I dont really need the settings but by default the blog lists all posts, i just want it to list a certain category. Is there somewhere in code i can edit to change the category of posts?

Read through the first link over and over and i cant do it! Is there really no one on here that cant help?

This is the whole template, can someone please tell me where i can change the blog category

Something here maybe?

$blog_cats = isset( $et_ptemplate_settings['et_ptemplate_blogcats'] ) ? (array) $et_ptemplate_settings['et_ptemplate_blogcats'] : array();
$et_ptemplate_blog_perpage = isset( $et_ptemplate_settings['et_ptemplate_blog_perpage'] ) ? (int) $et_ptemplate_settings['et_ptemplate_blog_perpage'] : 10;
?>

All i want to do is change the category of posts, is there a simple way to do that in the template file? If so where do i change it?

that baffled me pretty quickly! Seems quite complicated…

Yes! Thanks for all your help! Took a while but got there in the end and learnt a few things along the way! ??

Ive nearly done it, just a gap above the image now i cant get rid of! Any ideas?
