# Query loop: showing same category as current post

 * Hi there,
 * Currently I am trying to set up the query loop in the template for my posts. 
   Within the query loop you can select one or more categories via the taxonomies.
   That is clear to me. However, ideally I want that when I view a post, I only 
   see the other articles from the same parent category.
 * So for example I have a post within my category Productivity, then at the end
   of the post I want to see 3 articles that are also from the Productivity category
   and not from the Time Management category. And when I go to a post from the Career
   category, I want to see other articles from the Career category and not from 
   Productivity. This query loop I want to include within the template, so I can
   avoid that I need to add this to the post itself everytime I create a new one.
 * Is there a way to set this up? I am no expert in coding – not at all… Hopefully
   someone can help me with this. Thanks in advance!

 * Can you share the code your currently have in the template?

 * Thanks for the quick reply!
 * I don’t use a code, I use the native “query loop” block within FSE.

 * It just occurred to me that I can of course see the code via the code editor (
   via appearance > editor > templates > [the template in which I use the query 
   loop]). This is it:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       <!-- wp:query {"queryId":16,"query":{"perPage":3,"pages":0,"offset":0,"postType":"post","order":"desc","orderBy":"date","author":"","search":"","exclude":[],"sticky":"","inherit":false},"displayLayout":{"type":"flex","columns":3},"layout":{"type":"constrained"}} -->
   
       <div class="wp-block-query"><!-- wp:post-template -->
   
       <!-- wp:post-featured-image {"isLink":true} /-->
   
       <!-- wp:post-date {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"11px"}}} /-->
   
       <!-- wp:post-title {"isLink":true,"style":{"spacing":{"margin":{"top":"0px","right":"0px","bottom":"0px","left":"0px"}}}} /-->
   
       <!-- /wp:post-template --></div>
   
       <!-- /wp:query --></div>
       ```
