Now that WordPress 2.6 is out, will this still apply?
I ask because I tried to use your code above to call for a category by name. Right now I am having to use the following code to only pull one category:

But I would prefer to use the category name instead of the category number. As I am using the same template over and over again for different clients, this would prevent me from having to manually go in and make sure I had the category number correct as long as I have the category name universal.

Any ideas?

Complete WP newbie here… I’ve spent weeks surfing and reading various sites, trying to understand WP and how it finctions. This is THE ONLY article that I’ve come across that breaks this down into language that’s easy to understand with clearly defined examples. The thousands of people writing tutorials across the web forget one thing… not everyone knows WP language and PHP. The basic, fundamental, and primary golden rule of writing… “Don’t assume your reader knows what you’re talking about.”

Thanks very much. Honestly, you deserve a huge pat on the back. Well done.

This has way of running the side loop has allowed me to use Exec-PHP and run this “loop” within a post/page itself. Thanks for the tips!

Something that I have been running into that you may be able to help with is that the more function doesn’t work when I call a category using the following example:

Newspapers

have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
$do_not_duplicate = $post->ID; ?>

I may be overlooking something very easy, but I have been working on (and searching for solutions for) this all night to no avail. Any suggestions?

Several googles and attempted solutions for multiple loops failed to solve my issue – a loop in my sidebar would cause the previous_post_link / next_post_link functions in the main one to fail horribly.

Yours resolved it quite well. Thank you very much for taking the time to document. Someone could make themselves a lot of money imho if they were to write a full proper book about how to customize with wordpress. The codex has most of the meat, but compared to how Java and other full programming languages are documented, it’s rubbish.

Thank you aj. I can’t take credit for the design though. I’ll look around and see what i can come up with. Thank you.

MaryJane, I'd look through the Wordpress Codex for that. I do know it's possible, I'm just a little unsure about how to set it up. Btw, great looking site.

I’ve been trying to figure out a way to display sidebar news and when i ran across this tutorial it solved that problem! I have a question though. I have a featured section on my index page. Then i have my sidebar news sections and lower level sections under my featured. They are all seperated categories. What i want to do is display the previous old featured news in my sidebar news at the bottom so that anyone who didnt get a chance to read it can still see the last previous post from that category before. Is there a way for me to be able to do this?

Is there a way to make it display previous posts when a person clicks on the previous posts link at the bottom of the page? When I go on to page 2, it generates the same posts that are on the home page.

I test of this tool with version 2.0.5 and it works completely well.
