This code gives you posts from a category, notice category ids in the arrugments.

$getposts = get_posts( array( 'category__in' => '1, 2', 'numberposts' => 5 ) );
    
if( $getposts ){
    $display = '';
    $display .= '<ul>';
    foreach( $getposts as $post ) {
    setup_postdata($post);
    $display .= "<li><a href=\"" . get_permalink() . "\>" . get_the_title() . "</a></li>";
}
    $display .= '</ul>';
    wp_reset_postdata();
    echo $display;
    }//

Hi there,
Thanks for the quick reply.
Quick point though; I don't have "posts" in categories. I have made categories in pages. And I just want to show my 5 main categories in the footer.
So, how can I display those with this code?
Also, quick question: where do I place this code? which file?

Kindly advise.
Thanks!

 

How did you make categories in pages? wordpress don't have categories in pages by default?

 

My bad! Actually, I made pages only. But since in my website layout, I have named those pages as my categories - so I ended up saying the same here. I apologize.
Yes. So technically there are 5 pages that I want to mention in the footer under "Categories". I went into "Appearance" - "Menu" and add these 5 pages in "footer menu" under categories there as well .. but it doesn't display on the website.
I hope, am not confusing you.
Let me know, please!

 

Best way create a menu for those category page and display that in the menu in the footer through widget.

 

Hi @salmanshafiq:

Thanks for your guidance.

I have created the menu for the category pages and displayed the menu in the footer as well. But, the way I want to display is: after categories - the 5 pages (Gas Detection etc) needs to align little right so the user see these pages as part of the categories.

"Category" Free plugin is available - you can manage category with Image also , then at footer.php- using the custom query- you can call the category

 

If you still need this done, here is what it would look like...

 

is this problem solved ? are you still looking for a solution ?
