 * Hi.
    I have a theme named Africa, and there is a code at magazine format which
   calls posts, but I need it calls pages. I have Map Categories to Pages plugin
   from Amit Verma installed. So, I want call a specific category, and show pages
   which is listed under that specific category. The code that I have to change 
   is: `<?php $recent = new WP_Query("cat=".$featured5_bottom_left."&showposts=".
   $featured5_top_num); while($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post();?>` Please,
   someone can help? And yes, I looked at forum, google, etc. Thanks and have a 
   nice week Lee

 * Hi
    Thanks for your answer. Well, your code works, but just for only one category(
   cat=12). Its 4 blocks, which have categories 4, 12, 14 and 8, but only cat 12
   worked. I tried name WP_Query(“cat=14” but it didn’t work. But thank you again.
   I will read about wp_query. =)

 * I assumed the rest of the query you wrote was what you were going for. If you
   want all the categories I would remove the category specifier, or you should 
   probably be able to add an array of values.

 * Hey
    It did work! I’m just stupid, you know… I forgot to change block positions
   in code (left, bottom, top, right). LOL Now it’s all working. Thank you, David!
   You saved my life. =)
