    you can use following:-
    
    <?php
    wp_reset_post();
    query_posts('cat='.$catID);
    if(have_posts()):
    while(have_posts()):the_post();
    the_title();
    the_content();
    endwhile;
    endif;
    wp_reset_post();

    What i am trying to do is have 3 posts from the specified category displayed with just the image. The idea is to showcase the top 3 clients.

    Arnav Joy says:

    use this
    
    <?php
    wp_reset_post();
    $catID = IDOFTHECATEGORY;
    query_posts('cat='.$catID.'showposts=3');
    if(have_posts()):
    while(have_posts()):the_post();
    the_title();
    the_content();
    endwhile;
    endif;
    wp_reset_post();
    ?>
    
    
    replace IDOFTHECATEGORY with the id of the category credits
    
    can you paste here the url of the site than i can tell you where you have to put the code.

  If you're talking about query post, then you can try this code:
  
  

  
  
  $args = array( 'category_name' => 'Credits');

    What theme are you using? What I understand is you need an option in the admin that would allow you to select category to display. Is that correct?

  • 01/23/12 1:16am
    
    kayode brown says:

    I'm using the theme called Shotzz

  Hello
  
  I found the file and the line that have to be changed to do this.
  
  But (i'm logged in your site) i do not see any "credits" category, event for custom post types.
  
  Can you tell me more about this cat ? is another custom taxo i did not see ?
  
  Thank you
  
  ps : price is low, i won't spend much time on this, sorry.

    kayode brown says:

    thanks for the response, I havent created a custom post type called credits, i was asking if it would be easier to do it that way.
    
    having said that I don't think this question would take too much time to resolve.

    Julio Potier says:

    i did not talk about a custom post type name credits but a category named credits.
    

    I want to modify it so it will display from post category 'credits'.

    
    Where is this cat in your site ??

  • 01/23/12 1:38am
    
    kayode brown says:

    the custom post type is created.
    
    I just need to add it to the dropdown and add posts to it

    Julio Potier says:

    Ok In the file : /hades_framework/option_panel/options.php from your theme
    find this :
    

    $options[]   = array( 
    
    				  "name" => "Enter Recent Posts Area Post Type",
    
    				  "desc" => "you can select which posts to display here.",
    
    				  "id" => $shortname."_home_rp_post",
    
    				  "type" => "select",
    
    				  "options" => array('post','portfolio','gallery','events'),
    
    				  "std" => "post"
    
    				  );

    
    use the word "home_rp_post" to find it, about line 528.
    
    Then add 'clients' to "options" value, kind of this :
    

    $options[]   = array( 
    
    				  "name" => "Enter Recent Posts Area Post Type",
    
    				  "desc" => "you can select which posts to display here.",
    
    				  "id" => $shortname."_home_rp_post",
    
    				  "type" => "select",
    
    				  "options" => array('post','portfolio','gallery','events','clients'),
    
    				  "std" => "post"
    
    				  );

    
    
    See you
    
    ps : i suggest $15, your question talked about a category, then a CPT.

  Hi,
  
  Looking at your theme admin screenshot, I think you only need to add more custom post type and taxonomy for it and it will appear in your dropdown panel "enter recent posts area post type" to be choose.
  
  this is to create other custom type name "clients" and new taxonomy "credits", add this to your functions.php on your theme folder.
  

  function product_register() {
  
  	$args = array(
  
  		$labels = array(
  
  			'name'					=> __('Clients',themename),
  
  			'singular_name'			=> __('Client',themename),
  
  			'add_new'				=> __('Add New',themename),
  
  			'add_new_item'			=> __('Add New Client',themename),
  
  			'edit_item'				=> __('Edit Client',themename),
  
  			'new_item'				=> __('New Client',themename),
  
  			'view_item'				=> __('View Client',themename),
  
  			'search_items'			=> __('Search Client',themename),
  
  			'not_found'				=> __('No Clients found',themename),
  
  			'not_found_in_trash'	=> __('No Clients found in Trash',themename), 
  
  			'parent_item_colon'		=> ''
  
  		),
  
  		'labels' 			=> $labels,
  
  		'public'			=> true,
  
  		'show_ui'			=> true,
  
  		'capability_type'	=> 'post',
  
  		'menu_position'		=> 5,
  
  		'hierarchical'		=> false,
  
  		'rewrite'			=> array('slug' => 'clients'),
  
  		'has_archive'		=> true,
  
  		'supports'			=> array('title', 'editor', 'thumbnail')
  
  	);
  
  	register_post_type( 'clients' , $args );
  
  }
  
  add_action('init', 'product_register');
  
  
  
  // CUSTOM CATEGORIES
  
  register_taxonomy(
  
  	"credit",
  
  	array("clients"),
  
  	array(
  
  		"hierarchical"		=> true,
  
  		"label"				=> "credits",
  
  		"singular_label"	=> "credit",
  
  		"rewrite"			=> true
  
  	)
  
  );
