    Hi everyone, I’m new to wordpress, I’m trying to create a custom theme.
    I’ve inserted a slider with images of a specific category now I would need to take individual images from different categories for sections.
    thanks
    this is the code:

    <?php get_header(); ?>

<?php if(is_front_page()) {?>
  <?php query_posts('cat=7'); ?>

  <!-- Wrapper for slides -->
<div id="myCarousel" class="carousel slide" data-ride="carousel">

  <!-- Wrapper for slides -->
  <div class="carousel-inner" role="listbox">
  <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); $i++;?>
  <?php if($i==1) { ?>
    <div class="item active">
  <?php } else { ?>
    <div class="item">
    <?php } ?>
    <?php if(has_post_thumbnail()) { 
		the_post_thumbnail('full', array('class' => "img-responsive tales"));
	?>
      
    <?php } ?>
    </div>
	
    
	<?php endwhile; endif;?>
    
  </div>

</div>
<?php } wp_reset_query(); ?>

</div>
<!-- sections -->
<div class="col-sm-4 thumbnail">
    <img class="img-responsive" src="//dx35vtwkllhj9.cloudfront.net/woodyallen/woody-allen/images/cafe_society_tout.jpg" />
    <div class="caption post-content">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet</div>
</div>       
<div class="col-sm-4 thumbnail">
    <img class="img-responsive" src="//dx35vtwkllhj9.cloudfront.net/woodyallen/woody-allen/images/cafe_society_tout.jpg" />
    <div class="caption post-content">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet</div>
</div>       
<div class="col-sm-4 thumbnail">
    <img class="img-responsive" src="//dx35vtwkllhj9.cloudfront.net/woodyallen/woody-allen/images/cafe_society_tout.jpg" />  
    <div class="caption post-content">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet</div>      
</div>   

<?php get_footer(); ?>

    Use objects of the WP_Query class to get posts of a particular category. You can then loop through the results much like the standard WP Loop, except instead of something like if ( have_posts()) you do if ( $query->have_posts()) where $query is the object of the WP_Query class you just instantiated.

    FYI, the use of query_posts() is strongly discouraged. There is really no reason for it other than reverse compatibility. I suggest you also use an object of WP_Query in this case as well. You’ll need to modify the template tags a little, and the reset for WP_Query is wp_reset_postdata()
