Wordpress Issue

Hi.

I'm looking for someone to figure out why this is happening. I want my category page to display the posts in that category. Below you can view the image of the code I have. For some reason, it is displaying all of the posts, not just posts specific to that category.



Any suggestion is appreciated.

why don't you search for an appropriate plugin which can help this function.

 

I'm not a specialist in WP , but is this correct

$recent = new WP_Query('showposts=10');

PHP:

Don't you need to specify category ID or name as a param for WP_Query?
Take a look at http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop

// Get the last 10 posts in the special_cat category.
  <?php query_posts('category_name=special_cat&showposts=10'); ?>

  <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
    <!-- Do special_cat stuff... -->
  <?php endwhile;?>

PHP:

 

you could also just use the query string that is also provided by wordpress.

$recent = new WP_Query( $query_string . '&showposts=10' ); # if $query_string is empty, it shouldn't be on category.php, it'll simply ignore the first ampersand

PHP:
