small snippet below

<?php if ($loop->have_posts()): ?>
<?php while ($loop->have_posts()): $loop->the_post(); $posts_counter++; ?><?php
global $more; $more = 0;
?>
try:
<?php $loop = new WP_Query(array( 'post_type' => 'post', 'orderby' => 'post_date', 'order' => 'DESC', 'posts_per_page' => 15, 'category__in' => array(3,9,23,125)); ?>

Thanks for that. I have tried it but to no avail.
If you have anymore suggestions I would love to try them.
Got to go for a while but will check back in 3hrs or so.
what is happening if you add the changes?
– nothing different?
– all posts?
– no posts?
are you sure that the page you are looking at is done with the template that you edited?

link to your site, to the page where you want to restrict the posts?

Hi alchymyth
When i implimented the change I get a syntex error blank page display Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ‘)’ in /home/phat/public_html/wp-content/themes/theme1122/page_home.php on line 30. 30 is the modified line
It is definately the right template as i have been changing various elements on it.
The site is http://www.cre8ivdesign.co.uk and the template operates directly on the front page controling the image grid.

Problem sorted. The original coding was done using $ commands so i removed all of these and substituted them for the standard wordpress coding <?php query_posts('cat=4&showposts=15&paged='.$paged); ?><ul class="latest-posts"><?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
thank you for your assistance alachymyth
well done 😉
just for your information:
the parse error was my mistake – i forgot to close a bracket in my suggested code changes 🙁
(there should have been three closing brackets)
