How to display wordpress post of a specific category on an external php page.? I am working on a website, but one of the requirements is that i have is to be able to show announcements on a separate page. I am running the Xoops CMS, and being familiar with Wordpress i got the Xoops Wordpress module which is exactly the same only it allows the post to be displayed within the xoops cms. I decide that rather than manually updating the announcements page i would use wordpress and only display post from the announcements category. Using code from the first example on this website http://www.roccanet.com/blog/tutorial/tutorial-integrating-wordpress-2-blog-to-an-existing-site-with-cache/ i was able to get the wordpress post on an external php file. Unfortunately it displays all of the post from all categories. What i need is to display post from just my announcements category (i.e. category_id = 7 ). Although i am familiar with PHP programming, the MySQL/PHP part of it is something i am now getting into. All help with this would appreciated and i thank you in advance.

Wordpress: Displaying the posts on another page..? Is there a way to strip the code out of Wordpress so that I can only have the posts display on a different page? What I want to do is, make a site that is separated into three columns, and each column shows posts from three different categories. For instance, if I sign into my Wordpress and post a song under the category of "music", and then I open this three-columned page, I would want it to show up in the third column. Any videos I put up under the "videos" category, I would want to only show up in the second column... and so on. After some research it sounded like some possibilities were to get some kind of plugin that organizes categories, or build three instances of Wordpress and have the three columned page contain three frames of webpages. Any ideas? Thanks.

Looking for Wordpress Specialist? Hi, We have a wordpress blog: www.actionsport.tv/wordpress, but always use the url livethelife.tv, which is now redirected to actionsport.tv/wordpress. For our visitors it's confusing, so we want to change this, so that we always have livethelife.tv visible in the url. We were first emailing with our hosting company , Lunarpages , to change our main domain to livethelife.tv, but they say we can do these changes within wordpress also and it's not necessary to change the main domain. What would be our best option ? I've researched a bit myself ( although I know nothing about programming ) and see it is possible to move files to other locations and so on, but still we are afraid we will loose content or pictures for example. Therefor we now consider starting up a new blog under livethelife.tv and copying the files there and still keeping our existing blog, to also keep our rankings. Can somebody advise us ? And assist us ? Maybe it's not bad to start up a new one, because we want to we want to do some changes also, or additions .... - we want to create an upload form for our agents, so they can upload their real estate or accommodation listings themeselves. We cannot use the existing write post, we want to use a fix form, so they have to follow our rules ( big pictures, min number of pictures, full description.... ) and all listings are the same. - we also want a separate contact form for each listing , or this can probably be integrated in the upload form. Now we use one contact form and ask our visitors to fill in the ref we mention in the post, but they mostly don't do this and like that follow-up is very difficult. - we want to integrate a google map Please is there someone out there that can assist us ? We are busy researching since 2 months and still don't have anybody that can help us. We are a startup company and are looking for a wordpress specialist partner, who can work on our blog and benefit also from our profit in exchange.

Wordpress sidebar menu? Hello, How do I add extra menus to my sidebar? As you can see (http://www.lilypop.net/wordpress/) currently the only menu options i have are: About, Archives, & Catergories. How do I add extra ones to look like this site: http://joeymoggie.wordpress.com/ With the calender and extra bits? Cheers in advance! Aisha Haha, thanks Joey! and thanks for your comment! For some reason, I don't have that option of Sidebar widgets... perhaps because I installed wordpress onto my website www.lilypop.net/wordpress instead of just opening up a blog on wordpress.

WordPress Question, Please? Can someone answer this about WordPress? I'm trying to upload a new theme and I have cPanel. The instructions say: "In cPanel File Manager, navigate to your themes folder. If you have WordPress installed in it's own folder called wordpress, you would navigate to "public_html/wordpress/wp-content/themes... and if WordPress is installed in your web-root folder you would navigate to "public_html/wp-content/themes." I can go into File Manager fine, but I don't see this. I see a "public_html" folder, but nothing under it. The "public html" appears in the right window, but there's nothing that I can find to click on to open it. Please advise, thanks!

Wordpress 403 forbidden help? I was working with a backup plugin, that said the folder for my wordpress needed to be writeable. So I chmoded the folder from 644 to 666, and now my site is down. I changed the chmod back from 666 to 644, but the site is still down. Is there a site that says what permissions the wordpress has to be? If I changed the chmod back, why is my site still down?
Wordpress Help Needed? Hello, i have purchased my own www.somethingsomething.com domain and would like to have Wordpress installed there. I have found a provider called BlueHost and they charge USD7/- a month with 'auto-install'. I assume this 'auto-install' is a breeze actually. So my question is, besides this USD7/- a month, what other charges are there to Wordpress since i would be using this blog to make money for myself. Thank you very much.
How can Wordpress.com makes money? Hi guys, I'm very curious on how Wordpress makes money, basically they let users create their blogs for free. They can put up some advertisement if they wanted to. The money goes to the blogger, not to the Wordpress owners. It's very complicating matter that I've been thinking on. Because they have like 2 million blogs and each day 50 thousands of post are being published. It's like you have your own website, and Wordpress is hosting for you without charging you. Thank You

Wordpress Posting Issue? I have not touched my wordpress blog in 5 months. Now that I'm back trying to post in it, it doesn't work anymore. I can log into the blog, make a post, edit a post, appear to delete a post, BUT it doesn't show on the "Public" template side. It DOES however show on the standard Wordpress calendar/archive and history version, just not on my public published blog. I have not changed any coding or added any widgets. Could it be that my server changed authorizations for postings? Or Ports? Or? I definitely have clicked published, and did things regularly... my server is famous for blocking ports spammers use... had to change a file name to something different just to get the Camera Phone posting ability to work in the past... Anyone? JoleneSugarbaker.com
