[Wordpress] How to show posts from category?

How do I make my front page to show posts from a certain category instead of it showing posts from any category?

 

This should do it. http://www.planetmike.com/plugins/ultimate-category-excluder/

hope that helps,

Actually, this looks a bit more logical if you have version issues with that plugin.

try:

<?php query_post('cat=id')>

Inserting this right before the loop with display ONLY the category shown in bold

Example: <?php query_post('cat=4')> - 4 being the category id number

 

The best is to use a magazine styled theme, otherwise it just looks dysfunctional honestly.
