    I'm using the code below on the homepage here to display the most recent post from the News Businesses Category (cat. 1). But for some reason, when you click on the title of the posting, it's just a link to the Homepage, and doesnt take the user to the posting.

    
<?php
$latestposts = get_posts('numberposts=1&category=1');
foreach($latestposts as $post) :
   setup_postdata($post);
?>
<h4><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php echo $post->post_title; ?></h4>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
    PHP:



    any idea what's wrong? please advise. thanks in advance.

        <h4><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h4>
        <?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
    PHP:
