  Use
  
  

  
  
  <?php
  
  $news_catID = 2; // change this with your news category ID
  
  
  
  $posts = get_posts( array('category' => $news_catID) );
  
  
  
  foreach( $posts as $post ) :	
  
      setup_postdata($post); ?>
  
      <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
  
  <?php endforeach; ?>

  You can also check the examples here
  
  http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts
  
  to include in your template files
  
  fx:
  
  

  <ul>
  
  <?php
  
  global $post;
  
  $args = array( 'numberposts' => 5, 'category' => 10 );
  
  $myposts = get_posts( $args );
  
  foreach( $myposts as $post ) :	
  
     setup_postdata($post); ?>
  
  	<li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
  
  <?php endforeach; ?>
  
  </ul>
  
  

  
  
  where '10' is your category_id.

  Hi Luke, this is a solution:
  
  1. Create a page in admin with the same slug as your cathegory;
  2. Create a php template page, exemple: page-news.php
  3. Place this code on the page-news.php:
  
  

  
  
  $cat_ID = get_category_by_slug('news')->term_id;
  
  query_posts( 'cat=' . $cat_ID );
  
  include 'category.php';
  
  

  
  
  And repeat the same steps to testimonials.

  Hi,
  
  Paste this code in one raw file with the name of template_news and upload in your theme
  
  

  <?php
  
  /*
  
  Template Name: News
  
  */
  
  ?>
  
  <?php get_header(); ?>
  
  
  
  <div id="content">
  
  
  
  	<h1 class="page-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
  
  	
  
      <div class="entry">
  
    <?php  
  
    query_posts(array('category_name' => 'category-slug', 'posts_per_page' => -1 )); 
  
      
  
      while (have_posts()) : the_post(); 
  
      if(has_post_thumbnail()) {
  
  
  
               the_post_thumbnail( array(180,200) );
  
                                                  }
  
                                                  echo the_title();
  
                                                  the_content('');
  
                                                  
  
      endwhile;
  
  
  
  // Reset Query
  
  wp_reset_query();
  
  
  
  ?>
  
  
  
  </div>
  
  </div>
  
  </div>
  
  <?php get_footer(); ?>

  
  
  Once you paste this code go to add new page and in the page setting you will find the page as news. select it and update it will automatically display all news.
  Only thing is that you need to copy your div tags whatever you have in a theme or give me your any theme file code.
  
  In the same you can do this for : testimonials.

  					<?php the_content( __( 'Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span>', 'theme' ) ); ?>			
  
  				</div>
  
  			<?php endwhile; ?>
  
  			<?php endif; ?>
  
  			  <?php wp_reset_query();?>
  
  			</div><!-- #content -->
  
  		</div><!-- #primary -->
  
   
  
  
  
  <?php get_footer(); ?>

  
  
  save the code as any file.php say news.php and then create a page and choose template "News Template" from the page attributes at right side ans see.
  
  let me know if you need any help in this .
