POShowing Wordpress posts on two pages
text
Body
copied!<p>I have three pages on my site. Let's call them home, page2, and page3. My 'home' page is set as a static front page. My 'page2' is set up as the blog page. </p> <p>What I want is the following:</p> <p>I want page2 to display blog posts with a certain category (of which ID is known).</p> <p>AND</p> <p>I want page3 to display blog posts with a certain category (of which ID is known).</p> <p>The PHP code to only show posts with a certain category (or actually in my case, show posts excluding two categories) is the following:</p> <pre><code><?php query_posts($query_string . '&cat=-3,-8'); ?> <?php if (have_posts()) : ?> <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> <div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"> <h3><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"> <?php the_title(); ?></a></h3> <?php the_excerpt('Read the rest of this entry &raquo;'); ?> </div> </code></pre> <p>Now, in my page.php, I have the following code to display posts with one category:</p> <pre><code><?php // BEGIN IF PAGE is newspaper articles page if ( is_page('newspaper') ) { //BEGIN POST REGION query_posts($query_string . '&cat=8'); ?> <?php if (have_posts()) : ?> <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> <div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"> <h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3> <?php the_content('Read more &raquo;'); ?> </div> <?php endwhile; ?> <?php else : ?> <?php endif; ?> <?php } //end if is_page ?> </code></pre> <p>But it doesn't show the proper posts on the newspaper page (or page3 in this question). It does, however, work for the articles page (main index.php blog page). </p> <p>EDIT: I've also tried the following (but it doesn't work). I put this in the index.php file:</p> <pre><code><?php if ( is_page('newspaper') || is_home() ) { // START if is home ?> <?php if (have_posts()) : ?> <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> <div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"> <h3><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"> <?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>  <?php the_excerpt('Read the rest of this entry &raquo;'); ?> </div> <?php endwhile; ?> <?php else : ?> <?php endif; ?> <?php } //end if is_home() or is_page() ?> </code></pre> <p>Again, this shows the posts on the main blog page, but doesn't show any posts on the newspaper page...</p> <p>The question is therefore simple (I think). How do I show posts on another page OTHER than the main blog page?</p> <p>Thanks! Amit</p>
