 * Hello, I would like to know how I can use WordPress loop to display some of my
   posts in a certain way in a div box. For example my recent posts from a certain
   category, as shown.
 * How can I do to add advanced search, using post types or category?
    for example,
   just search for posts (food) where the food takes only 30 minutes to prepare.
 * I guess it’s pretty much to learn, but perhaps you could explain a bit and unless
   otherwise refer to what I should learn.

 * Hello,
 * Filter WordPress loop like this
 *     ```
       <?php query_posts('category_name=wordpress&showposts=5'); ?>
       <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
               <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
                 <?php the_title(); ?>
                 </a>  </li>
               <?php endwhile; ?>
       ```
   
 * This will help you with the category search

 * First, thanks for the first answer! 😀
 * Okey, not shore i understod all of it. But is the code for this purpose:
 * lets say i have post with each 5 differant “tags” (30 min, sallads, fastfood,)
   Then i want a search function with radiobuttons.
 * So if I search for pizza and toggle the fastfood radiobutton I only see results
   of pizza who has the tag fastfood.
 * You get what i mean?
