You might want to read the function - get_posts() - @ http://codex.wordpress.org. I believe your question is related to this function. It might help you. Just search for it there.

 

i did searched but i did`nt find an answer . if you can help me let a post here with an ideea

 

The approach I told you about is gonna involve a bit of coding, so you are familiar with PHP and WP? If there is a plugin for what you are asking, all the better. Try searching for it at wordpress.org plugins page.

Here is the link for function get_posts(). Read the page and you will see good explanations and some sample codes.

Example, this line

get_posts('category=1&numberposts=3&orderby=date');

Code (markup):

> category is set to 1, assuming you have that as a category ID
> numberposts is set to 3, so it returns 3 posts of category 1. Since you just want the latest post of a category, you might want to set this as 1.
> orderby is set to 'date', w/c should order the posts by date, DESC is the default. Although I think the natural order is always most recent post first

And this, get_all_category_ids(), will help you too, in case you have a lot of categories or just don't know the category ID. There is a sample code on that page with explanation.

Hope this helps.

 

thnx a lot . i will try this way

 

<?php  query_posts('showposts=1&cat=6'); ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
