Show Only 1 Wordpress Category In ‘index.php’

Wordpress

I wanted to just show my ‘website news’ category in the root of my Wordpress installation. But by default index.php shows the latest posts from all categories, this was not what I wanted. So how could I get what I want?

Step 1

I take a look in index.php. It displays:



<?php
/* Short and sweet */
define("WP_USE_THEMES", true);
require("./wp-blog-header.php");
?>

Step 2

After looking at this code I could see, clearly, there was no statement to restrict what category to show, which was what I wanted. So I checked in the Administration>Categories section in the Administration part of my site to find out the category ID of the category I wanted to just show on my index.php in my Wordpress installation root, the category ID was ‘2?. I changed index.php to the following and uploaded it to my webserver:



<?php
$blog = 1;
if (!isset($cat)) {
$cat = "2";
}
/* Don't remove this line. */
define("WP_USE_THEMES", true);
require("./wp-blog-header.php");
?>

  • Hi JW, I use this script but I have a problem. When I select the categories it only shows the title and the name of the category, but the text of the lastest news of every one of the category do not correspond to this category.

  • I am trying to use this code on a page. It shows the list of posts as expected, but also the posts content at the bottom of the page which I do not want. I am not sure why this is happening. any Ideas?
