 * I want to recent 4 or 5 posts in all posts exclude one category.
 * My code is;
 * <?php
    $id = get_cat_id(‘portfolyo’); $q = “cat=-“.$id; query_posts($query_string.
   $q); ?>
 * <?php while ($wp_query->have_posts()) : $wp_query->the_post(); ?>
 * <?php endwhile; ?>
 * I put some code below, above my code, nothing is happen;
 * <?php
    $args = array( ‘numberposts’ => ‘2’ ); $recent_posts = wp_get_recent_posts(
   $args ); ?>
 * Thanks in advance.

 * At last, I solved the question. This is the answer.
 * <?php
 * $recentPosts = new WP_Query();
 * $id = get_cat_id(‘portfolyo’);
    $q = “cat=-“.$id;
 * $recentPosts->query(‘showposts=5&cat=’ .$q);
 * while ($recentPosts->have_posts()) : $recentPosts->the_post();
    ?>
