    I already have this code working that display 6 recent new post in my website. 

    <?php
  $thumbnails = get_posts('numberposts=6');
  foreach ($thumbnails as $thumbnail) {
    if ( has_post_thumbnail($thumbnail->ID)) {
      echo '<a href="' . get_permalink( $thumbnail->ID ) . '" title="' . esc_attr( $thumbnail->post_title ) . '">';
      echo get_the_post_thumbnail($thumbnail->ID, 'thumbnail');
      echo '</a>';
    }
  }
?>

    But I have one problem, like if I have a new post in my portfolio it well display also as my recent post. Can someone help me with the proper code that it will only show the recent post from a certain category or a parent category?

    Thanks in advance.

    You can add the category id as a parameter:

    $thumbnails = get_posts('numberposts=6&cat=34');

    Replace 34 with the id of your category.

    See the other parameters available here:

    Thanks for the help vtxyzzy! But it gives me 12 more images lol.. But still thanks, I have look on the parameters and made them work.

    Here’s my new code:

    <?php
  $thumbnails = get_posts(array('numberposts' => 6, 'category__not_in' => array(15)));
  foreach ($thumbnails as $thumbnail) {
    if ( has_post_thumbnail($thumbnail->ID)) {
      echo '<a href="' . get_permalink( $thumbnail->ID ) . '" title="' . esc_attr( $thumbnail->post_title ) . '">';
      echo get_the_post_thumbnail($thumbnail->ID, 'thumbnail');
      echo '</a>';
    }
  }
?>
